Description
Low back pain is a fact of life for many Americans today. It can easily reduce your ability to perform many functions and will often limit your quality of life. Instead of merely resigning to a life of pain and low levels of activity, there are several ways it can be treated – enabling you to enjoy life again.
Sacroiliac Radiofrequency Ablation (SI RF). This pain treatment is for pain that typically radiates down the sciatic nerve, causing pain in your lower back, your buttocks, and thigh region. After an injection, this minimally invasive procedure involves creating heat through a catheter inserted near the nerves and then applying radiofrequency energy. The heat destroys the nerve and provides pain relief for 9 to 14 months – then the nerve usually grows back.
The best treatment for your lower back pain can be determined once a thorough diagnosis of the problem has been made. Each of the above treatments is performed on an outpatient basis by Board certified doctors at Lower Back Pain NY.
