Scheduling Treatment for Chronic Back Pain

Lumbar spinal stenosis is a medical condition that causes pressure to be applied to the spinal nerves. The pressure is caused by the narrowing of the spinous process in the back. Since lumbar spinal stenosis is caused by degenerative arthritis, it is not a condition that can be cured. However, the chronic pain and other conditions of the disease can be treated at Certified Spine and Pain Care. If you find yourself experiencing chronic pain in the buttocks, legs, or back, you might benefit from the treatments offered at our specialty clinic. Many of the treatment options offered at Certified Spine and Pain Care can be completed in an outpatient setting. We aim to make our clients comfortable and relaxed. We can’t promise a pain free experience for every treatment, but we can guarantee the highest level of quality care. 

Spinal Injections and Nerve Blocks

Spinal injections are one of the most common treatment options for chronic back and leg pain. There are multiple types of injections that are unique in their own way. Some injections are steroid based, while other injections focus on treating inflammation using other medications. Corticosteroids are injections inserted directly into the base of the spinal cord. These injections are commonly referred to as epidurals, and they provide instant relief. Spinal injections are not right for everyone, as they do have risks and dangers. Nerve blocks are injections that are inserted directly into damaged nerves or sympathetic nerves. The goal of a nerve block injection is to reduce swelling, inflammation, and the general intensity of the pain. A lumbar sympathetic nerve block can provide short term pain relief from moderate to severe lumbar spinal stenosis. The sympathetic nerves in the lower back are targeted to improve mobility. Vertiflex Procedure as Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Treatment in Boca Raton

Vertiflex is an outpatient medical procedure that is minimally invasive. Our doctors at Certified Spine and Pain Care will use local anesthesia to prevent any discomfort. A small incision is made in the spine to insert an indirect decompression device. The device is called Superion, and it is inserted into the spinous processes. The device extends robotic arms to widen the space in the spinous processes. With more space, the spinal nerves experience less pressure. Less pressure on the spinal nerves allows long lasting back pain. Some patients experienced pain relief from lumbar spinal stenosis for five years. Other patients required extra care for total pain relief. This procedure has a recovery time of six weeks. Only a small bandage is required after the procedure. The Vertiflex procedure should not be the first treatment option you turn to for pain relief. It is advisable to make dietary changes, increase exercise schedules, and participate in physical therapy. Surgical options are always a last resort option for patients. Patients over the age of fifty who haven’t found pain relief using medications may benefit greatly from the Vertiflex procedure at Certified Spine and Pain Care. 

Physical Therapy and Medications

Physical therapy should be implemented in the routine of all lumbar spinal stenosis patients. At Certified Spine and Pain Care, we believe that a body that is actively mobile will continue to remain active in the future. Physical therapy can help strengthen the ligaments in the back, which can reduce pain. Strengthening your core muscles can also allow you to experience reduced pain in the legs and lower back. In addition to physical therapy, pain medications can be administered. The lowest possible dose of pain medication will be prescribed for a short time period. Anti-inflammatory pain relievers are a prime option, as they can also reduce swelling. Some patients may benefit from taking anti-seizure medications for pain relief. At Certified Spine and Pain Care, we will help explore all of your pain relief options. Our staff has certified professional training that allows us to outshine other service providers.
