This prevalence has inspired the development of many innovative treatment methods. Spinal Cord Stimulation is one of the most popular and most frequently used treatments for back-related pain, and there are several reasons for that.

Spinal cord stimulation uses electrical current to interrupt pain signals of a particular spinal nerve. The device used in this successful pain relief procedure is best described as a small pacemaker implanted into the body close to the spine. Its task is to send electric pulses to the affected area periodically, and continually prevent pain signals from being sent to the brain.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”5844″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Chronic back and neck pain, Arachnoiditis, and failed back syndrome are just some of the conditions where this revolutionary treatment displayed great results. To determine whether a patient is a suitable candidate for spinal cord stimulation therapy, a thorough examination of the patient’s physical and mental health needs to be performed, including a close survey of their medical documentation and history.

For all the information you need on the pre-requirements and the procedure itself, book an appointment with Dr. Nash at Progressive Pain and Rehabilitation Center by calling 346-220-8063.

Therefore, adding anything to the healing treatment to enhance the regeneration of the cells is always welcomed. There are good reasons why Regenerative Medicine Injections are often chosen as a primary addition.

In a nutshell, Regenerative Medicine Injections are usually released by Regenerative Medicine Therapy and circulate the body carrying information for other cells. The message they need to convey is usually a genetic data telling the cells how to react. On the other hand, Regenerative Medicine Injections can display additional powerful effects. For example, they are able to reduce inflammation, stop scar tissue formation, and stimulate a healthy immune response.

All this makes Regenerative Medicine Injections a go-to aid in all kinds of healing processes. They are used as aids in the treatments of autoimmune and degenerative diseases. Regenerative Medicine Injections have been reported to bring positive results in aiding the treatments of patients with Lyme and Parkinson’s disease because of their role in inflammation and regenerative processes.

For all additional information on Regenerative Medicine Injections’ contribution to the healing process, schedule an appointment with Dr. Nash and other experts working at Progressive Pain and Rehabilitation Centre. You can do this by calling 346-220-8063 or using an online scheduler.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

It is a non-invasive and non-surgical procedure that uses radio waves and heat to stop the nerves to fire pain signals to the brain. Breaking the communication channel between the source of the pain and your central nervous system provides immediate pain relief.

The procedure is similar to the one used for diagnostic blocks. It is performed under the fluoroscope guidance that enables precise needle access to the desired area. Once the anesthetic has been injected and becomes active, a heating current is delivered through the same needle. It burns the portion of the nerve responsible for sending pain signals and prevents their further distribution. This results in pain relief that can last anywhere between a couple of weeks to several months, sometimes even as long as three years.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”5836″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]The conditions where radiofrequency ablation treatment displays excellent results in providing long-term pain relief are cervical and lumbar pain, low back, neck pain, and arthritis. The results are incredibly positive in cases of chronic pain where a particular nerve is responsible for the continual distribution of pain signals.

If you are experiencing chronic pain, book an appointment (346-220-8063) with Dr. Nash at the Progressive Pain and Rehabilitation Center and find out whether radiofrequency ablation could help you.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

The former can spread anywhere from the lower back to feet while the latter manifests in the neck and along the arms. Both can vary from mild to severe, all the way to partial or complete inability to move either or both limbs. Here is how nerve root block can help in these situations.

Nerve root block is a non-invasive procedure that has proven to be very successful in providing long-lasting pain relief. A local anesthetic is injected directly into the nerve. The goal is to numb the nerve and provide long-lasting pain relief and reduce the inflammation of the area around the section of the spinal nerve that causes pain.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”5832″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Although the nerve root block provides long-term pain relief in both cases of spinal nerve pain, the effect of the therapy is not permanent. The causes of spinal nerve pain can be various, including arthritis, herniated discs, spinal injury, infection, and more. Permanent pain relief can only be achieved by successfully addressing these underlying conditions.

The first and usually only association when people hear it is facial beauty treatments. On the other hand, people are rarely aware of Botox use for other therapeutic purposes. So, what health benefits does Botox treatment bring?

Therapeutic Botox use provides entirely different benefits compared to cosmetic use. It doesn’t target wrinkles and skin imperfections, but muscle spasms. The results are based on the ability of Botox to block nerve signals responsible for muscle contractions temporarily. These signal blocks are followed by pain and tension relief and the elimination of spasms.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”5827″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Botox has shown significant therapeutic implementation in chronic migraines, strabismus or misaligned eyes, and cervical dystonia, characterized by severe spasms in the shoulder and neck area. Furthermore, it helps with conditions such as uncontrolled blinking, cases of overactive bladder, and post-stroke upper limb spasticity.

It is a widespread childhood injury that keeps on happening throughout the lifetime, particularly for people who are into sports, both as amateurs and professionals. Luckily, the majority of these injuries can be fully treated at home. On the other hand, knee pain is the most common reason why people visit a pain relief or orthopedic clinic. When should you begin to worry about your knee’s condition?

Once the usual home treatment becomes ineffective, a visit to a specialist is a necessity. The chronic knee pain that does not go away regardless of a home treatment you use may be the result of a recent injury, as well as the accumulation of all old injuries. A lack of muscle strength and flexibility, as well as excess weight are also common causes of knee pain.

Chronic knee pain can severely affect our everyday life. Getting to the root of the problem and finding appropriate treatment is the only sustainable solution to ease the situation and get back to a normal, pain-free life.

Progressive Pain and Rehabilitation Center provides the best knee pain treatment in The Woodlands, Texas.
