1. A method of therapeutically treating a bone having an intraosseous nerve ION defining first and second sides of the bone, comprising the steps of:

  • a) inserting an energy device having an active and a return electrode into the bone, b) placing the active electrode on the first side of the bone and the return electrode on the second side of the bone to define a total heating zone therebetween, and c) applying a sufficiently high frequency voltage between the active and return electrodes to generate a current therebetween to resistively heat the total heating zone sufficient to denervate the ION.
