Radiofrequency Ablation: Long-Term Pain Relief Technique

• TENS therapy: Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, also known as TENS, is a therapy using gentle electrical currents to stimulate nerve cells around the site of your pain. Often used in the treatment of conditions like bursitis, tendinitis, arthritis, lower back pain, and diabetes-related neuropathy, TENS is a non-invasive method that can be utilized in isolation or in combination with other therapies.
• Acupuncture: Originally utilized in traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture has become a therapy worldwide to quell pain. Very fine needles are inserted into specific areas of the body—stimulating nerves, muscles, and connective tissue.
• Medication management: At Global Pain Management, we know that oral medications have their place in pain relief. Our team adheres to the strictest federal guidelines and works alongside you and any additional care providers to ensure you are being prescribed treatments that suit your needs best—including medical marijuana recommendations whenever applicable.
• TPI: Trigger point injections (TPI) is a non-surgical treatment for muscle pain designed to target knots, or trigger points, that could be creating nerve inflammation or irritation. We commonly utilize cervical TPI to assist in the relief of cervical spinal pain.
• Interventional injections: In addition to our TPI treatments, our specialists offer an array of safe and effective injection therapies, including Cervical Epidural Steroid Injection (CESI), lumbar sympathetic injections, joint injections, and medial branch blocks. This allows us to create treatment plans targeting your unique condition.
• Orthotic stabilization: Improving the position of your feet can cause a ripple effect up the body, affecting your ankles, knees, hips, and back. We will consult on incorporating custom orthotics into your treatment plan that might help reduce lower body joint and muscle pain.
• Radiofrequency ablation (RFA): This minimally invasive treatment utilizes radio waves and a small probe to deliver heat to a targeted area. The heat damages a small area of tissue, which stops the nerves from sending pain signals to the brain—potentially creating long-term relief.

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Pain Management Procedures

Will my pain be completely gone after a pain management procedure?

While our goal is to provide significant pain relief and improve your function, it's important to have realistic expectations. The extent of pain relief can vary depending on the individual, the underlying condition, and the specific procedure performed. Some patients experience near-complete pain relief, while others may experience a significant reduction in pain that allows them to engage in activities they previously couldn't. Pain management is often a multifaceted approach that may involve a combination of procedures, physical therapy, medication management, and lifestyle modifications to achieve optimal results.

How should I prepare for my pain management procedure?

Your physician's office at Global Pain Management will provide you with detailed instructions on how to prepare for your specific procedure. This may include guidelines on when to stop eating and drinking, whether to continue or hold certain medications (especially blood thinners or diabetes medications), and what to wear. It's crucial to follow these instructions carefully to ensure the safety and effectiveness of your procedure. Please don't hesitate to ask us any questions you may have regarding your preparation.

How many pain management procedures will I need?

The number of procedures needed varies greatly depending on your individual condition and response to treatment. Some patients may experience significant and lasting relief after a single injection or treatment, while others may benefit from a series of injections or consider other longer-term options. We will continuously evaluate your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed to achieve the best possible outcome. Our goal is to provide the most effective and least invasive treatment necessary to manage your pain.

When should I seek professional help for pain management?

If your pain is interfering with your daily activities, causing significant discomfort, or affecting your quality of life, it's time to consult a pain management specialist.

Can pain management procedures be combined with other treatments?

Yes, pain management procedures can often be combined with other treatments, such as medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes, to achieve optimal pain relief.

What can I do to manage my pain at home?

You can manage your pain at home by following your doctor's recommendations, practicing relaxation techniques, getting enough rest, and avoiding activities that aggravate your pain.
