🌟 Tired of Reoccurring Back Pain? 🌟

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA), also called radiofrequency neurotomy, is a minimally invasive procedure that targets pain-transmitting nerves. By applying heat to these nerves, RFA blocks pain signals from reaching the brain — often providing longer-lasting relief than traditional injections.

⏺ Relief can last 6 months to 2 years (sometimes up to 3 years!)
⏺ Helps reduce the need for long-term pain medications
⏺ Improves mobility and function so you can stay active
⏺ May delay or even avoid surgery

RFA is commonly used to treat chronic pain from the facet joints in the spine or the sacroiliac joints in the pelvis/hips. If pain returns, the treatment can be safely repeated — studies show up to 85% of patients get significant relief.

💡 Ask your provider if RFA could be right for you!

Are You Suffering from Chronic Neck Pain?

If you’re experiencing persistent neck pain that radiates into your shoulders, arms, or even hands—and it hasn’t improved with conventional treatments—you may be a candidate for a simple, in-office procedure: the Cervical Epidural Steroid Injection (CESI).

This procedure has been a trusted treatment for neck and arm pain for decades. A cervical epidural injection delivers medication directly into the cervical spine (neck area) to relieve pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness. It typically includes a corticosteroid to reduce inflammation and a local anesthetic to numb the affected nerves—providing targeted relief right at the source of your discomfort.

Most physicians consider CESI a preferred treatment option for chronic neck pain and cervical radiculopathy. Backed by extensive clinical evidence, this minimally invasive procedure can offer rapid pain relief, helping patients return to their regular activities and improve their quality of life.

Call today to schedule your consultation with Dr. Birthi or Dr. Lee—and take the first step toward lasting relief.

Did you know that Botox injections are used to treat muscle tightness and abnormal posturing caused by neurological disorders?

While many people associate Botox with reducing facial wrinkles and fine lines, it actually has several medical applications. In fact, Botox injections are one of the most significant advancements in the management of spasticity and movement disorders.

Spasticity is a neurological condition characterized by muscle stiffness or tightness that interferes with normal, fluid movement. It often affects individuals with cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, or those recovering from a stroke.

Dystonia is another movement disorder marked by twisting, repetitive movements or abnormal postures, resulting from sustained or repetitive muscle contractions. It occurs due to abnormal brain signaling that increases muscle activity.

If you or someone you love is affected by dystonia or spasticity, schedule a consultation with Hastings or Grand Island Pain Relief Center to explore personalized treatment options.
