Lumbar Radiofrequency Ablation

Lumbar rfa is an innovative and exciting area of pain medicine. It works on the principle that thermal energy can be used to deactivate nerves responsible for carrying pain signals to the brain.

During this procedure, a top-rated pain doctor will ensure you are comfortable throughout. They will then use a small generator to transmit RF energy from the generator to the small electrode placed on your lumbar. This thermal energy will then heat up the nerves in the lumbar and will deactivate them. Once they are deactivated, they can no longer send pain information to the brain. This stops the feeling of pain and discomfort because the brain is not registering any pain signals.

Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injections

Lumbar ESI are a popular treatment option that provides instant pain relief and lasts for long periods of time. Lumbar epidural steroid injections are when a pain management doctor injects steroid medicine near the epidural space in the spine.

The epidural space is a fat filled sac containing nerves and tissues. Your nerves may have become inflamed due to a condition like spinal stenosis when excessive pressure is put on the nerve root. The spinal nerves also may be aggravated due to herniated discs pushing out of place and creating irritation.

Lumbar ESI are a treatment option providing immediate pain relief. They have helped many patients to avoid unnecessary back surgery and can be applied several times throughout the course of treatment.

Spinal Cord Stimulation

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is when a pain doctor uses a small device to modify pain signals travelling to the brain.

The SCS is placed under the skin and sends small currents to the nerves. These small pulses are able to alter the intensity and frequency of nerve signals sending information to the brain. As a result, individuals can experience less intensive pain and discomfort.

Lumbar Facet Joint Injections

Lumbar facet joint injections are another safe and highly effective treatment choice. Facet joint injections can help pain doctors to both diagnose and treat a range of pain problems.

The facet joints are small joints located on either side of the spine. A pain doctor can deliver local anesthetic directly near the facet joints to provide instant pain relief. The facet joint injections can be injected 2 – 3 times depending on the location and intensity of the pain.

Many individuals have been able to avoid unnecessary back surgery and narcotics. Facet joint injections are an excellent treatment option if you want to receive long-lasting pain relief.
