Radiofrequency denervation of the spinal joints (RFD)

Where can you get rid of your joint pain without surgery and without losing money?

Back pain is often due to diseases of the intervertebral discs, joints, ligaments and muscles. Degenerative changes in the lumbar spine cause unbearable pain. The most common cause is osteoarthritis and in particular one of its forms, spondyloarthropathy. This pathology slowly and insidiously destroys the joints of the spine. The condition is aggravated by hypodinemia, a number of infectious diseases, and obesity.

Radiofrequency treatment of the knee joint is useful for people who suffer from osteoarthritis in the knee and have pain in the knee. Damaged joints are painful when pressure is applied. This is caused by the action of the nerves. If the condition does not improve after drug or physical therapy treatment, radiofrequency nerve denervation is recommended.

There is a direct relationship between the development of joint pathology and age - with age, the likelihood of developing the disease increases.

A promising modern treatment option is radiofrequency articular denervation of the spine – Radiofrequency joint denervation of the spine has been used worldwide for several years.

How is this treatment carried out?

Radiofrequency denervation of the spine is performed under local anesthesia and monitored by intraoperative X-rays. Frontal Rhizotomy In the procedure, high-frequency currents are conducted through the body tissue to the nerve endings and destroy them. The prerequisite for success is that the patient lies completely still so that the electrodes can be injected as precisely as possible.

• The nerve tissue is punctured and needles are inserted, with small electrodes attached to the ends through which the current flows.
• The temperature of the plates increases as they overcome the resistance of the tissue.
• The result is a burn of the nerve.
• There may be a slight sensation of pain during the procedure.
• The entire procedure takes no more than 40 minutes.

The benefits of applying RFD to the spine are.

• high effectiveness with minimal expenditure of time
• quick recovery
• improved quality of life
• local anesthesia is sufficient
• only a small area is affected that can be well controlled
• the procedure is not traumatic, well tolerated and the risk of side effects is low
• Several local anesthetics are possible.

Main goals of vertebrology

• The specialist establishes the connection between the pathology of the spine and the state of the internal organs.
• He identifies existing problems and the consequences that may arise in the future
• ensures effective treatment of the diagnosed diseases and their prevention

Our doctor-vertebologist conducts a comprehensive diagnostic process aimed at diagnosing and eliminating spinal problems

If spinal problems are detected early, the disease can be treated more easily and does not lead to complications. Our spine specialist has the latest and most effective techniques and treatments for various conditions.

The main reasons to see a specialist

Although everyone's spine appears to be quite stable, not all five parts of the spine are invulnerable. The spine is subjected to great physical stress on a daily basis, and in combination with poor diet, stress and various injuries throughout life, these factors become the cause of damage to the spine. A spinal doctor is often consulted for osteochondrosis, herniated discs, radiculitis, scoliosis and many other diagnoses. In addition to the obvious spinal problems, there can also be pain sensations that are not associated with the spine at first glance.

You should see a specialist if you experience any of the following symptoms:

• Pain in any part of the spine
• Frequent headaches
• Nausea in the arms and legs
• Pain radiating to legs and arms
• Decreased mobility and curvature of the spine
• Limited flexibility of the spine
• Dysfunction of the bowel and bladder
• Pains in the ribs and in the heart
• Fatigue and weakness that were not there before
• pressure fluctuations

Diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities of modern vertebrology

The vertebrologist consults patients of all ages with confirmed or suspected diseases of the spine and adjacent structures. At the first consultation, the specialist assesses the patient's gait and posture, the symmetry of the shoulders, shoulder blades and pelvic line. The doctor also checks muscle strength and reflexes, performs tactile and functional tests (bending, squatting, twisting, etc.). Depending on the results of the examination, additional examinations are recommended: ultrasound, CT, MRI, X-ray, rheumatic examinations, etc.

Modern diagnostic methods make it possible to precisely determine the cause of spinal problems. When creating a treatment plan, spine doctors prefer non-surgical methods (except in neglected cases where therapy is no longer effective). The main therapeutic measures are osteopathy, manual therapy, massage and physical therapy. Modern minimally invasive procedures - vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty - are used to treat some spinal injuries.

What does a visit to the doctor look like?

When consulting a spinal neurologist, the doctor first conducts a detailed survey of the patient about his complaints: what ails him; if pain is present, its location is determined. The doctor also inquires about the patient's medical history, including anamnesis (life history and development of the disease), and conducts a clinical examination of the patient's skeleton, including the condition of the spine. The vertebrologist then carries out a neurological examination. Concomitant diseases are taken into account.

Once the information is gathered, a diagnostic will be provided on capture, allowing the hardware diagnostics to proceed. Without a hardware diagnosis, it's difficult to diagnose accurately. In order to make a correct diagnosis, the vertebrologist refers the patient to the following facilities (one or more, depending on the results of the first examination):

1. MRI scan of one or more parts of the spine. During this examination, the condition of the bone tissue, the intervertebral discs, the condition of the joints, the reserves of the spine, the condition of the muscles and ligaments around the spine and much more are examined.
2. X-RAY. Active examination such as functional tests of the cervical or lumbar spine to show the position of the vertebrae. X-ray examination of any part of the spine is performed in several projections: straight, lateral, and in some cases oblique. In some cases, functional radiographs with flexion and extension of the spine are required. X-rays of the spine can be taken in the supine position and while standing (with a load on the spine).

X-ray images and MRI are very different and provide completely different data for understanding spinal processes. Spinal neurology is not possible without X-rays, as only X-rays provide information about the biomechanics.

Treatment methods in spinal neurology

The spinal neurologist uses non-surgical (conservative) treatment methods in his practice. Pain relief, symptom relief and treatment of pathologies are widely used:

1. Pharmacotherapy - Prescribing drugs to relieve symptoms and reduce pain
2. Manipulative therapy – various manipulations of the spine: chiropractic, osteopathy, manual therapy, etc.
3. Injection therapy - local injection of drugs to the site of pain

Blockages, local drug therapy – depending on the results of the hardware and clinical examination

1. Physiotherapy - electro- and phonophoresis, myostimulation, laser therapy, thermotherapy, laser therapy, magnetotherapy, traction therapy (traction), in some cases - shock wave therapy,
2. therapeutic massages
3. Therapeutic exercises to stabilize the spine
4. Manual soft tissue therapy – treating the affected tissues and joints with your hands.
5. reflexology,
6. acupuncture
7. Shock wave therapy – treatment of soft tissues of the musculoskeletal system with infrasound waves of a certain frequency
8. Plasma therapy – treatment without the use of drugs. When treating pathologies, specially prepared plasma from the patient's own blood is injected into the joints and soft tissues to stimulate cartilage regeneration in the joints. Plasma therapy is also used with great success in foot reflexology and in the treatment of vertebrogenic diseases such as vertebral artery syndrome, vegetative dystonia, cerebral venous outflow pathology, spinal pathology and many others.

What does a visit to a spine surgeon look like?

A consultation with a spinal surgeon includes a medical history, a medical history (medical history), and an examination of the patient.

The examination includes assessment of the musculoskeletal system (skeleton, muscles, ligaments, etc.). For this purpose, the physiological curvatures of the spine are assessed – cervical and lumbar lordosis, thoracic kyphosis. Asymmetries of the spine and skeleton are recorded, as are deformations of the spine and chest. A spinal doctor's consultation also includes an assessment of the range of motion of the spine and joints, as well as the presence of pain in specific areas. Functional tests are carried out to clarify the cause of the pain.

If necessary, the vertebrologist conducts a neurological examination of the patient.

Vertebrology provides for a mandatory hardware examination. This is necessary to make a definitive diagnosis.

Diagnosis in vertebrology

The most important thing for the vertebrologist is to examine the patient, conducting tests and self-assessing the condition of the spine. To clarify the diagnosis, the vertebrologist performs an X-ray examination of the spine and/or an MRI examination.

It should be noted that MRI and X-ray are the two main methods of examination when consulting a spine doctor.

An X-ray provides a comprehensive picture of the musculoskeletal system. Only with their help can the physiological curvature of the spine, the proportions of the vertebrae, the condition of the vertebral and rib-vertebral joints be comprehensively assessed, the degree of deformation measured, fluctuations in the development of the spine taken into account, and the causes of posture defects explained . An important benefit of X-ray imaging in spine medicine is the ability to explain the biomechanics of the spine. Biomechanics are movement variants in the spine and in individual vertebral segments. For this purpose, radiographs with functional tests are often performed.

MRI provides more subtle information about the condition of the spinal tissues, but cannot assess the biomechanics of the spine. In spinal medicine, these two methods are therefore used as supplementary procedures. If your spine doctor recommends a simultaneous X-ray and MRI scan of the spine, don't be surprised. These two examinations allow for a more accurate diagnosis. A competent vertebrologist will do this.

Vertebrologist in Moscow

Patients with spinal problems often hear: We need a good vertebrologist.
Many people then have questions:

Originally, the word vertebrologist comes from a combination of two Greek words: vertebra - vertebrae and logos - term, meaning.

So, a vertebrologist is a medical specialist who deals with diseases of the spine.

There are two main methods of treating the spine: surgical, used by neurosurgeons and orthopedists, and conservative, used by neurologists, podiatrists, chiropractors, and osteopathic doctors.

All physicians in these disciplines are familiar with the anatomy, clinical manifestations and pathogenesis of spinal dysfunction within their specialty.

neurologist (neurologist) – is able to diagnose vascular and nervous diseases and guide their medical correction. However, not every neurologist is also a vertebrologist, since classical neurology does not deal with the biomechanics of the spine and the anatomical structures associated with it.

orthopedist – The orthopedic surgeon is primarily entrusted with the treatment of complex scoliosis of grade III-IV, as well as other serious diseases of the musculoskeletal system, through the use of various mechanical devices (suspended orthoses, traction, etc.).

chiropractor i osteopath – These two specialists delve deeply into the structure, biomechanics and all types of spinal dysfunction, as well as the methods of correcting them through manual manipulation. However, their training and approach are very different.

The osteopath is the highest level of chiropractic training. In addition to functional disorders of the spine, osteopaths are able to diagnose and manually treat almost all structures in the human body: muscles, ligaments, fascia, joints, internal organs and cranial structures in their interrelationship.

Main groups of diseases that can be treated by a spine specialist:

Our clinic specializes in spinal medicine, with an emphasis on osteopathy, as it is the most effective method of understanding and treating spinal disorders. Our doctors have extensive clinical experience in the fields of neurology, manual therapy and orthopedic traumatology.

Vortex phrologist in Moscow: what he treats and why you should go to him.

In our central clinic in Bibirevo, the admission is carried out by a specialist in these questions. He really helps to find the cause of back problems, eliminate them and choose effective preventive measures for each individual case.

You should see the spinal neurologist at our clinic if:

• Back pain occurs regardless of its intensity and frequency;
• Pain and discomfort in the spine occurs at rest, although it is not always normal during physical activity
• numbness or tingling in your arms, legs, back and neck;
• Your back becomes stiff and immobile (when you have difficulty bending, straightening, or twisting);
• a feeling of heaviness and numbness in the neck has set in, accompanied by a severe headache;
• reddening of the skin on the back and 'high fever' in that part of the body;
• swelling or swelling in the back or spine;
• often numbness in the lower back;
• if there is an injury to the spine that comes to light occasionally or requires regular evaluation.

What the vertebrologist needs to know about the patient

If it is an old injury or spinal problem that has already been examined by other specialists, you should bring all old documents with you when you come to a spinal neurologist for an appointment or for an initial examination. This may include excerpts from medical records or medical facilities, X-rays or MRI scans, reports, certificates and treatment recommendations from other doctors.

When you see the doctor about new symptoms or concerns, be sure to talk about anything:

1. Have you ever had a back injury, if so, when and under what circumstances?
2. What particular sensations or pain are bothering you at the moment?
3. Have there been previous diagnoses related to spinal injuries or abnormalities. If so, when, by which specialists, what treatment was prescribed and what the patient did himself.
4. Are there other chronic diseases or conditions that have gotten worse? If so, what treatment was prescribed and administered, including medication used.

If you are concerned about one or more of the symptoms, you should not put off seeing a doctor
If you do not go to a specialist on time, this can lead to irreversible processes.

Main differences between a neurologist and an acetabrologist

The two disciplines are similar, but it is part of the neurologist's job to assess not only the condition of the spine, but also the relationship between identified disorders and diseases of the nervous system. In addition, the doctor must be familiar with detailed examination techniques for other neurological diseases of different etiologies.

The vertebrologist specializes only in pathologies that affect one area of the spine. He must find out the cause of the disease. With a holistic approach to the therapeutic program, the doctor will normalize the movements of the spine and its segments.

When should you see a doctor?

Consultation with a spinal doctor is necessary for migraine, memory loss, dizziness, tardive dyskinesia, numbness in the limbs and prophylactic for the prevention of spinal problems.

In addition, an appointment with a spinal surgeon should be made if the following musculoskeletal problems are present

• hyperkyphosis (stooping);
• scoliosis (curvature of the spine);
• lumbodynia (low back pain);
• sciatica (damage to the sciatic nerve);
• Hyperlordosis (excessive curvature of the spine in the lumbar or cervical region);
• the presence of pain in the neck or chest area;
• cramps in the calf muscles;
• Pain in knees and feet.

The spinal doctor also supports patients in the development of individual rehabilitation measures to restore mobility after operations, endoprostheses, injuries and age-related diseases.

What a spine doctor treats

The specialist deals with spinal anomalies associated with the nervous system, trauma, degenerative-dystrophic processes and other causative factors.

Common problems diagnosed by a vertebrologist include.

• intervertebral fractures
• deformity of the spine
• protrusion
• scoliosis
• myositis
• Dystonia at the vet
• chronic pain in the lower back, neck or chest
• neuralgia

All diseases related to the spine and the surrounding anatomical structures fall within the field of activity of the specialist.

What is a visit to a spine doctor like?

The doctor carefully interviews the patient about their symptoms and asks about their medical history in order to identify risk factors for various diseases. If findings from other specialists and test results are available, they should be presented to the orthopedist. The specialist also conducts an examination that includes palpation of the problem area and functional tests. Instrumental examinations and laboratory tests such as MRIs, CT scans, and X-rays are used to make an accurate diagnosis. Based on the findings, the doctor creates a treatment plan. Physiotherapy, massage and physical therapy are effective treatment methods.

The main focus of the CMRT clinics is the diagnosis and treatment of spinal diseases. An experienced spinal doctor in Moscow will advise you, order the necessary examinations, make a diagnosis and establish a non-surgical treatment plan, taking into account current clinical guidelines.
