Chronic back pain is the gift modern lifestyle has brought us. Nevertheless, modern technology has also brought us treatments to get relief from back pain. Spine specialists at advanced pain clinics such as Miami and Fort Lauderdale back pain treatment center use cutting edge treatments to help you achieve freedom from back pain.
Steroid and other Injections
Injections such as Facet Joint Injections are to inject an anesthetic into the nerves reducing irritation and pain in the surrounding area. Sometimes a steroid would be injected (as in an epidural steroid injection) into the area between the spine and the dura to reduce inflammation and swelling. Spine doctors at Miami and Ft Lauderdale Pain Management Center use injections with patients with bulging and herniated discs, degenerative disc disease and spinal stenosis.
Radiofrequency Neurotomy
Also known as radiofrequency ablation (RFA) or lesioning, this treatment is a great option for pain relief in nerve related conditions. An electric current is used to heat up a small section of nerve tissue to block pain signals arising from that nerve. RFA is used for pain treatment in cases of chronic lower back pain, sympathetically mediated pain, even headaches.
Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty
Both kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty are bone stabilizing procedures used in case of a collapsed vertebra to restore bone height. Specialists at Miami Pain Clinic say that these procedures are effective in cases of vertebral compression fracture due to osteoporosis. Kyphoplasty proves better sometimes as it prevents humpback and spinal deformities.
Spinal Cord Stimulator
Spinal Cord Stimulation is used in cases of nerve related pain due to neuropathy or failed back surgery syndrome. A small unit is surgically implanted to send electrical signals to affected area to block pain sensation. The intensity of the stimulation can be changed in a way you use a remote. Miami Pain Management Clinic doctors use spinal cord stimulator implants in patients who have not found relief with other treatments. Patients report a great degree of back pain relief with this procedure and can even resume normal activities.
Nerve Blocks
Nerve blocks such as medial branch blocks are used to block pain signals from the nerves. Doctors at Miami Pain Clinic use these blocks to bring long term pain relief in patients with lower back pain.
At Miami and Fort Lauderdale Pain Management Centers, spine specialists use a comprehensive treatment plan to provide you maximum pain relief with minimally invasive procedures. Highly qualified doctors use various treatments such as medication management and different interventional procedures to provide lasting pain relief. Over thirty treatment options and certified experts ensure you get the best possible individualized treatment so that you can lead a happier life.
