Chronic Lower Back Pain And Radiofrequency Annuloplasty
by Jerome Hoffman
<strong>Active physical therapy treatment programs</strong> are intended to reverse the negative changes that occur when an individual suffers from back and <a href="http://www.spineone.com">neck pain</a>. By participating in a number of specific exercises, active physical therapy helps patients increase strength and flexibility, improve endurance, enjoy a decreased recurrence of pain, and ultimately help expedite a return to a healthy, active lifestyle.
To help alleviate the pain of disc degeneration and other disc diseases, medical scientists have developed and introduced an advanced, minimally-invasive procedure called radiofrequency Annuloplasty. Unlike traditional open-back surgical procedures that require large incisions and a long recovery period, this less-invasive method of surgery requires only the tiniest of incisions and in most cases delivers excellent results. In addition, minimally-invasive procedures often carry a much lower risk for infection and post-surgical complications than traditional open-back surgery.
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.
Many physical therapy programs will provide education and training to patients so that they can complete in-home exercises after their first visit. These exercises are designed to complement each physical therapy session and help patients learn how to continue their therapy regimen once the program is complete. For example, the exercise tips provided for at-home completion are outlined in such a way that patients can perform them without the supervision of a physical therapist and without the risk of injury or <em><a href="http://www.spineone.com/blog.cfm?promotion=17157">back pain</a><em/>. In addition, many physical therapy programs help patients transition to gym-based exercises that they can continue exercising long after their physical therapy treatment is over. Continual exercise and participation in physical-therapy based regimens at-home can help patients treat their own pain, heal faster, and avoid re-occurring back and neck problems.
