WHAT NEXT IF FACET JOINT INJECTIONS DON'T WORK?

Writer: Derek ParkerDerek Parker

Facet joint injections are commonly used to alleviate spinal pain, but they don't always provide lasting relief. If you're still experiencing pain after these injections, SoftWave Therapy presents an innovative alternative that not only targets pain relief but also promotes tissue healing, including the fascia— the connective tissue surrounding muscles and organs.


1. Reassessing Pain and Fascia Damage

Before proceeding with new treatments, it’s crucial to understand the exact source of pain. Misdiagnosis or overlooked issues, such as fascia tissue damage, could be the underlying cause of your continued discomfort. A detailed assessment, including diagnostic imaging and a physical evaluation, can help clarify whether SoftWave Therapy is suitable for you.


2. Introduction to SoftWave Therapy

SoftWave Therapy utilizes shockwave technology to send unfocused, low-energy acoustic waves deep into the tissues, stimulating the body’s natural healing mechanisms. This non-invasive treatment can reach deep layers of muscle and fascia, promoting regeneration and pain relief without the need for steroids or surgery.


3. Benefits for Facet Joint and Fascia Issues

SoftWave Therapy is particularly effective in treating conditions involving connective and soft tissues. For patients with facet joint pain complicated by fascia tissue damage, SoftWave can be transformative. It enhances blood circulation, reduces inflammation, and encourages the production of collagen, which is vital for strengthening the fascia and supporting the spine.


4. What to Expect from SoftWave Therapy

Treatment sessions typically last about 20 minutes and can significantly reduce pain and improve mobility. Patients often report feeling improvements after just a few sessions, with progressive benefits as the body’s healing processes are activated.


5. Integrating SoftWave Therapy with Other Treatments

While SoftWave Therapy can be highly effective on its own, integrating it with other treatments such as physical therapy or targeted exercise programs can enhance outcomes. Such integrations help in strengthening the musculature around the spine and improving overall spinal health, which is crucial for long-term relief.


6. Lifestyle Modifications to Support Treatment

In addition to SoftWave Therapy, making lifestyle changes such as adopting an anti-inflammatory diet, maintaining an appropriate weight, and engaging in regular, gentle exercise like yoga or swimming can further help manage and alleviate back pain.


7. Follow-Up and Monitoring Progress

Continuous monitoring of your progress with SoftWave Therapy is important. Regular follow-ups will help tweak treatments as needed, ensuring that the therapy is effectively addressing your pain and facilitating tissue healing.
