If you have RSD, it's VERY, VERY RISKY. If you don't, it might not be... I had one performed and it made my RSD permanently more severe. Do a google search on Hooshmand and Radiofrequency--that should be warning enough if you have RSD. This is very outdated treatment for RSD patients, and I'd start researching new docs asap...if you have RSD.
