Chronic lower back painaffects many American men and women and can significantly reduce a person's mobility and quality of life. There are countless reasons for chronic lower back pain and one of the most common is the inflammation of the intervertebral discs that are located between the bones of the spine. A healthy disc functions as a shock absorber for the spine-when injured or degenerated, these discs can become quite painful and lead to chronic problems.
Whether hitting a tennis ball, sweeping the floor, or picking up a bag of groceries, the motion starts at your core. A strong core enhances stability, balance, - essentially enables everyday activities. A strong core helps prevent falls and injuries, especially if you are involved in sports or other physical activities. Core strengthening is key to treatment success and utilizes a variety of tools, including:
Radiofrequency Annuloplasty works to reduce the pain of disc disease by delivering steady amounts of radio-thermal energy to the affected disc. Through the application of this specialized energy, the contents of the disc are strengthened and the pain receptors neutralized. Most patients experience excellent results and can return to their activities shortly after the procedure is performed - most the next day. Radiofrequency Annuloplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure using a mild or local anesthetic although some patients prefer a general anesthetic. In most all of cases, surgery is performed under the guidance of X-ray imaging to properly visualize the affected disc.
Home Exercises - There are many daily exercises that you can complete at home to build strength and regain mobility in your back. This is a cost-effective and healthy way to maintain your strength and reduce lower back pain. It is important to seek medical advice before beginning any new exercise routine. Also, Physical Therapy, along with the proper regimen of home-based exercises, can go a long way to help promote wellness and healing.
Temporary pain, swelling or bruising at the injection sites; there may be an increase of pain after the procedure but it will typically go away within 7 days; infection can occur, although rare, especially if the procedure is not conducted in a controlled, sterile environment
If you are considering physical therapy, we invite you to come and speak with a PT at SpineOne Rehab - your body will thank you!
