Disc biacuplasty is a medical procedure that applies heat to a specific portion of the disc, known as the annulus. This procedure blocks the nerves from sending pain. It is designed to reduce chronic back pain caused by the intervertebral discs, either by tears in the annulus of the disc or from contained disc herniations. It is a minimally invasive procedure which uses cooled radiofrequency to create a controlled heat lesion and is performed with needles under live imaging for accuracy.

Chronic back pain often results from excessive amounts of stress, degenerative bone conditions, or injuries to the back. Dr. Stephens can help you alleviate any degree of chronic back pain through effective pain management methods. 

Overwork, stress, or an injury that causes inflammation or damages certain structures can cause back pain. If not treated, the pain can become prolonged and worsen. Once your pain is brought under control, Dr. Stephens can begin to address the cause of the problem. He can incorporate physical therapy and exercise to improve blood flow to the area and reduce inflammation. It will also increase mobility and range of motion. 

What is the reason for my back pain? 

Stress can play a significant role in the severity of chronic back pain. It causes muscles to tighten, preventing them from getting the oxygen they need. When the muscles remain tense for long periods of time, they can become fatigued and sore. 

If stress is a common problem, it can eventually result in damage to both the tissues and the nerves in the area. Additionally, normal wear and tear can occur leading to degenerative disc disease. Dr. Stephens can help you to find ways to release the tension in the muscles through exercise, physical therapy and various procedures such as trigger point injections and nerve blocks.
