Facet arthritis.
The most common cause of axial back and neck pain.
Wear in the small posterior joints of the spine generates dull, localized neck or back pain that worsens with extension and rotation. Diagnostic blocks confirm the source. Radiofrequency ablation gives durable relief.
If this is you, we can help.
Aching neck or low back pain, often worse on one side. Pain worse with leaning back, twisting, or prolonged standing. Relief with sitting or bending forward. Tenderness over the paraspinal region. Often no radiating leg or arm pain.
Your first visit.
A focused exam. Imaging review for facet arthropathy. A staged plan that often starts with diagnostic facet injection or medial branch block to confirm the joints as the source. Once confirmed, options include therapeutic facet injections and — for durable relief — radiofrequency ablation.
Confirm first. Ablate second.
Conservative care including PT and anti-inflammatory medication. Diagnostic medial branch blocks to confirm the facet joints as the generator. For confirmed facet-mediated pain, radiofrequency ablation produces six to eighteen months of relief per treatment and is repeatable.
Stop accepting the downtime.
Confirm the diagnosis. Get a year of relief at a time. Schedule a consultation at any Triumph location.
