Hi, i am wondering what coolief is all about? how is this procedure done? does it involve burning the nerves in the knee? this is were i would be having it done. help you can explain? thanks?

Coolief is radiofrequency (type of energy) ablation (meaning it wipes out something). This is basically burning the nerves so they will not feel pain. A probe is placed in the tissue that is getting the treatment and a small current of radiofrequency energy is transmitted through the probe and everything is cooled by water. The nerves that send pain messages to the brain are de-activated
