Spinal Fracture
Most people regard back pain as an unavoidable consequence of aging. But for roughly 700,000 men and women, the pain is a result of painful vertebral compression fractures.[2]
Vertebroplasty, a minimally invasive procedure, can quickly and effectively easy their pain.
Facet Joint Pain
A lifetime of walking, standing, lifting, and twisting causes significant back pain for nearly 80% of all adults.[8] For many, the facet joints are often the primary source of their suffering.[9][10][11] Radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that can provide lasting pain relief.[12]
