Spring Is Nearing – Green Thumbs Be Aware
Gardening is a great way to get outside but care must be taken to avoid injury
Dr Shivani Chadha, MD recently saw a patient who had back pain in her lower back for over a year. When Dr. Chadha asked her why she waited so long to seek out treatment she responded “I was tired of taking pills and afraid that I would have to have major surgery.”
This is the misconception of many of our patients. Too many people are in pain and afraid that they have no options. With back pain there were limited options in the past. Today we have minimally invasive interventional pain procedures that work and have now been around for over a decade with proven results – Patients are living pain free or with significantly reduced pain.
For this patient the treatment was Radiofrequency ablation (RFA). RFA is a procedure where an electrical current produced by radio waves heats up nerve tissue, decreasing pain signals it sends to the brain. The results may 12 months or more, depending on the severity of your condition and the extent of your pain. The procedure is done in our office using x-ray and usually takes less than an hour. We have had a long term track record of providing relief and sometimes reducing pain all together.
