Radiofrequency Ablations procedures are often done to treat chronic lower back pain. Doctors tend to downplay this procedure by saying it is not invasive or “minimally invasive” and that it is a day procedure that can be done in their office instead of the hospital.

Yet they don’t always let their patients know how permanent and possibly damaging an RFA can be for chronic back pain.

Patients usually end up getting offered a radiofrequency ablation when they have not had back pain relief using medications or injections. This is a procedure that is offered before getting spine surgery.

If physical therapy did not work out in helping your back pain, don’t give up on it yet! There are all different types of physical therapy and doctors don’t realize this! You may have gone to a physical therapist that did not fully understand your back problem.

We offer an online comprehensive exercise program for back problems right here!
It’s called the 28 Day Back Health & Wellness Boost Program.

It's a 100% online and on-demand program for improving back health. It's packed with exercises, advice and coaching from Dr. David.
