Doctors Jason Lewis and Kyle
Young with Commonwealth
Pain Associates offer hope for
chronic back and neck pain
Chances are, at some point in life, you
will experience back pain to some degree.
It may be acute or chronic. There is a high
likelihood that it is a result of facet arthritis.
Facet joints are the "knee" joints of the
spine, extending on both sides of the spine
from the base of your skull to your low
back. They allow your neck and low back to
move and bend. Just like any other joint in
your body, they endure wear and tear and
are susceptible to developing arthritis. Pain
is typically elicited by bending and twisting
at the waist.
First line treatments include anti-
inflammatories, physical therapy,
chiropractic care and possibly low dose
pain medications. For those patients who
do not respond to these types of treatment,
Commonwealth Pain Associates' second
line of treatment includes Radiofrequency
Ablation. This minimally invasive
procedure is performed on an outpatient
basis. Its high success rate is attributed
to careful patient selection with the use
of diagnostic nerve blocks prior to the
ablation. Ultimately, this treatment can
provide lasting relief for chronic neck and
back pain sufferers.
