New hope for back pain relief

New hope for chronic back and neck pain sufferers through a new treatment is now available in the Phoenix Valley. Patients are traveling from all parts of the state to the Valley to access this new treatment option, which is offering relief for many who have lost their lives to pain. This new patent pending and FDA approved treatment offers three advantages over previously available treatments for chronic pain.

The new treatment is an improvement on older injectable procedures in that it reduces "rebound pain" (pain that returns with greater intensity than before treatment), which sometimes occurs with corticosteroid anti-inflammatory treatment.

Second, this treatment helps to break down scar tissue, which often develops in soft tissue in cases of chronic pain. Scar tissue is often a source of perpetual irritation in the area of pain because scar tissue is not as flexible as normal soft tissue. Scar tissue is also unable to cleanse itself of cellular waste products, such as lactic acid, which allows trigger points to form - those painful knots in your muscles that seem to never go away.

Thirdly, this new treatment is gentler on your body so more of the medication can be used to treat a painful area. This high volume delivery method enables the practitioner to have a greater chance of eliminating the source of inflammation which causes the pain.

Patients who have had prior interventional pain treatments with no success, those who have had failed back surgery or those who previously could not access this type of care because of underlying conditions (like diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia or adrenal gland suppression) now have new hope. As well, those patients on their first go-around with pain management treatment options should look to this new treatment first as a safer and more effective option.
