Advanced Treatments And Therapies for Pain Relief
- Peripheral Nerve Stimulation
- Radiofrequency Ablation
- Sacroiliac Joint Fusion
- Interspinous Fusion
- Vertebroplasty
Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) offers a minimally invasive solution for chronic pain by implanting a tiny device close to the nerves causing pain. This device produces electrical impulses that help block pain signals, potentially removing the pain entirely. Ideal for treating neuropathic pain, certain chronic headaches, and pain resulting from nerve damage, PNS is a viable alternative when traditional treatments are ineffective. With an external remote, patients can adjust the intensity of the stimulation to suit their specific pain management needs. This adaptable and reversible approach greatly enhances the quality of life for individuals suffering from chronic pain, providing a precise and effective treatment option.
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive method that alleviates chronic pain by disrupting nerve signal pathways. By applying radiofrequency energy, the procedure selectively heats and diminishes nerve tissue, effectively reducing pain signals. Performed under local anesthesia and guided by precise imaging technologies such as fluoroscopy or ultrasound, RFA is ideal for treating persistent pain in areas like the back, neck, and joints, as well as conditions like arthritis and spinal stenosis. This technique can provide pain relief lasting from six months to several years, allowing patients to resume their daily activities promptly. Recognized for its efficacy, RFA significantly enhances the quality of life by minimizing pain
Sacroiliac joint fusion is a surgical technique used to stabilize the spine-pelvis connection and alleviate chronic pain caused by various dysfunctions such as arthritis, injury, or general wear. In this procedure, the iliac bone is fused to the sacrum to decrease joint movement and lessen pain. Bone grafts and implants are employed to ensure long-term stabilization. Recommended as a minimally invasive option when less invasive treatments like physical therapy, injections, and medications are inadequate, the surgery involves small incisions and utilizes fluoroscopic guidance to accurately place implants, thus facilitating effective pain relief and recovery for individuals suffering from SI joint pain.
Interspinous fusion is a minimally invasive procedure used by surgeons to alleviate pain and provide spinal stabilization by fusing the spine’s protruding bones. It is particularly effective for conditions like lumbar spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, and persistent lower back pain, especially when other treatments have not succeeded. During the procedure, a spacer device is placed between the vertebrae to ease nerve pressure and reduce pain, while also limiting movement to improve stability. This type of fusion generally allows for a quicker and less painful recovery compared to conventional surgeries, and helps maintain more normal spinal function. Nevertheless, it is important for patients to consult with their doctor about the potential risks and benefits to decide if it is the right option for their specific situation.
