Interventional Pain Management
When back or neck pain sticks around week after week, it can start to wear on you. Radiofrequency ablation offers a way forward. We begin by finding exactly where your pain is coming from, then use targeted, image-guided treatment to quiet the nerves causing it.
Common Causes
Pain in your back or neck can come from more than one place, and that’s exactly why we take time to figure out the real source before recommending anything. Getting that part right shapes everything that comes after.
The small joints running along your spine can wear down or become inflamed with time, leading to stiffness and pain that flares with movement.
When the space around your spinal canal narrows, nearby nerves can be compressed, resulting in pain, tingling, or discomfort in your arms and legs.
Sharp, burning pain can radiate from your lower back down through your hip and leg as a result of pressure or irritation along the sciatic nerve.
Sometimes pain lingers even after a back or neck surgery has healed, often because the nerves involved are still sending pain signals.
Interventional Options
If you’ve already tried rest, medication, or physical therapy and you’re still hurting, a more targeted, non-surgical procedure might be the right next step. Here’s a look at a few treatments we offer for chronic back and neck pain.
We use heat energy to quiet the nerve fibers that send pain signals from an affected joint, providing relief without surgery.
Expected Relief: 6 – 12 Months
A precise injection can calm an inflamed spinal joint and also help us confirm whether it's truly the source of your pain before moving forward with treatment.
Expected Relief: 4 – 8 Weeks
Anti-inflammatory medication is delivered right to the irritated nerve, easing pain and swelling in that area.
Expected Relief: 3 – 6 Months
A small implanted device works to interrupt pain signals before they ever reach your brain, offering another option when other treatments haven't helped.
Expected Relief: Ongoing / Long-Term
OUR METHOD
We sit down and talk through your symptoms, history, and anything you’ve already tried, so we understand your full picture.
Using real-time fluoroscopic imaging, we pinpoint exactly which nerves or joints are behind your pain.
From there, we put together a treatment approach built around your specific condition and what you’re hoping to achieve.
We carry out the procedure with care and stay in touch afterward to track your progress and relief.
FAQ
Most people feel mild pressure or warmth during the procedure. Between image guidance and local anesthetic, we keep you as comfortable as we can throughout.
Some patients notice a difference within a few weeks, while others wait a little longer as the treated nerves settle down.
Not always. Radiofrequency ablation is a non-surgical option we consider when conservative treatments haven’t given you enough relief.
We take the majority of major insurance plans, but coverage varies by person. Just give our office a call, and our team will check your specific benefits for you ahead of your first appointment.
