Patients are often unaware that many common medications can cause neuropathy. Medications known to cause neuropathy from “toxic effect”
Neuropathy is probably one of the biggest misunderstood areas of medicine. Partially because neuropathy does not fall under one medical speciality and partially because the term neuropathy encompasses many different illnesses.
Disc pain is one of the most common forms of back pain across the world. Disc Denervation is a pain procedure used to treat chronic disc related pain. Pain occurs when discs compress or irritate local spinal nerves. Disc denervation, in a sense, deactivates the irritate nerves and blocks the affected nerves from sending anymore messages of pain. This is accomplished when the messages are heated and destroyed with radiofrequency. The heat generated from the radiofrequency modifies certain nerve fibers and blocks the perception of pain that is received by the brain.
Discography is a diagnostic tool used to determine whether certain discs of the spine are the source of a patient’s neck or back pain. Most of the population experiences low back pain, at least, sometime during their lifetime. It is the fifth leading cause of medical visits and the leading cause of workplace-related disability.
