Physical and Occupational Therapy

Kyphoplasty
This procedure is utilized to stabilize a vertebral body fracture which is causing severe back pain. This procedure offers the potential to restore bone height in the vertebra and reverse deformity of the spine.
Radio Frequency Nerve Ablation (RFNA)
Reduced pain is achieved with the use of an electrical current which heats up a small area of nerve tissue, thereby selectively destroying nerves that carry pain impulses. RFNA provides longer lasting pain relief than traditional nerve blocks. Our Coolief technology creates a radiofrequency lesion 8 times larger than the standard radiofrequency.
