The condition known as spinal arthritis results in wear and inflammation in the joints of your spine. Stiffness, soreness, and trouble moving can result from this. It may make routine chores difficult and uncomfortable. The neck and lower back can both be impacted by spinal arthritis. We offer advanced and minimally invasive spinal arthritis treatment options tailored to your unique condition. This minimally invasive treatment combines radiofrequency ablation with intra-facet joint and lumbar caudal injections. Whether you're dealing with chronic back pain, nerve-related symptoms, or early-stage disc problems, our goal is to help you move freely and live comfortably again.
Spinal arthritis can develop for several reasons. The most common cause of back pain is osteoarthritis, which happens as we age. The cartilage that cushions our spinal joints begins to wear down over time. When this takes place, pain and inflammation are brought on by the bones rubbing against one another.
Spinal arthritis usually starts slowly and gets worse over time. Symptoms can differ based on which part of the spine is affected. Common symptoms include:
Your journey toward relief starts with an accurate diagnosis. We begin with a detailed physical exam and review of your medical history. We then use advanced imaging tools such as X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans to check for joint damage, disc issues, or nerve compression. In some cases, blood tests may be used to rule out inflammatory or autoimmune conditions.
We understand that every patient is different. We provide personalized treatment plans considering your symptoms, spinal structure, and overall health. Here are our main treatment options:
For many people, conservative treatments are enough to reduce pain and improve function. These may include:
For patients with degenerative spinal arthritis, we use a three-stage treatment protocol designed to relieve pain and inflammation through precise, targeted therapy without open surgery. This approach is efficient for those who want quick recovery with less downtime.
Radiofrequency Ablation Therapy: Starts with applying radiofrequency energy to the facet joint. This helps block pain signals from the nerves around the arthritic joint, offering lasting relief.
Intra-Facet Joint Injection: In the second stage, cortisone and Marcaine are injected into the facet joint. This reduces inflammation and numbs the area to ease discomfort.
Caudal Lumbar Injection (Camera-Guided): Finally, access the lower spine through the caudal opening using a small camera. This allows us to deliver medication accurately around the disc and affected nerves.
This full protocol is minimally invasive and is often performed in an outpatient setting. Most patients return to normal routines shortly after the procedure.
If your spinal arthritis includes a mild disc herniation, we may recommend nucleoplasty using percutaneous plasma laser disc coagulation. To lower pressure and minimize the protruding area, a small probe is inserted into the disc. It doesn't involve open surgery and is rapid and efficient. A solid choice for busy people seeking mild yet focused relief, nucleoplasty is best suited for early-stage instances and provides a quick recovery.
A disorder that worsens over time is spinal arthritis. It can harm your joints, discs, and nerves more the longer you leave it untreated. Early treatment by radiofrequency ablation can help prevent long-term issues like spinal instability or nerve compression while also reducing symptoms. Our team focuses on catching the problem early and treating it in the most effective and least invasive way possible.
