3 things happen in aquatic therapy that traditional physical therapy can't offer.

1️⃣ Chest-high water holds up a large share of your weight, so a movement only asks a sore joint to carry a fraction of what it would on land.
2️⃣ The heat loosens muscles that have been braced against pain for months.
3️⃣The water pushes back in every direction, building strength with zero pounding or impact.

This combination is why some patients make progress in water when nothing else has worked for them.

Radiofrequency ablation uses controlled heat to reduce the pain signals from a selected nerve without touching the surrounding bone or muscle.

Relief can last several months, in some cases a year or longer. Because the treated nerves can regenerate over time, the procedure can be safely repeated when needed.

A sharp, shooting pain that starts in your lower back and runs down the back of one leg is a very common pain.

It's crucial to pin down the actual source, which most often is an irritated nerve root in the lower spine.

An interventional pain specialist can locate the main cause and match treatment to it, which tends to work better than treating the symptom alone.

Take the first step toward relief.

Failed back surgery syndrome symptoms take different forms from one person to the next.

Some feel a dull ache at the surgical site; others sharp, stabbing pain with movement.

Many notice pain traveling down one or both legs, along with new numbness, tingling, or weakness.

What stands out most to many patients is the timing: pain that returns after a stretch of real relief is one of the more telling signs.

Learn more details and how to get on the path to relief.

An epidural steroid injection is given to reduce inflammation around an aggravated nerve root when it is causing pain.

The medication is delivered directly to the irritated area in an outpatient setting using imaging for precision.

It works best as one part of a larger pain management plan, often creating the window that lets physical therapy and movement actually progress.

Can you sit through a meal or drive across town with no trouble, but then when you stand up and start walking, the aching begins in your legs within minutes?

If you sit back down does the pain ease? That stop-and-start pattern is a key indicator of spinal stenosis, where narrowing in the spine puts pressure on the nerves whenever you're upright.

Typically conservative care like targeted injections are given , or other options are explored well before an operation ever enters the picture.

Neck pain has a way of sneaking up after long hours on a phone or laptop.

The good news is that a few easy movements can loosen things up with nothing more than a minute of your time.

Slow chin tucks, gentle side-to-side turns, and easy shoulder rolls, repeated a couple times through the day, ease the tension that builds from looking down. Keep them slow and stop short of anything sharp. Get the full routine today.

Long flights and road trips can leave a body sore for days, especially if you already live with chronic pain. A little planning keeps a trip from costing you a week of recovery.

Get up and move every hour or two, pack a small pillow for lower-back support, stay hydrated, and keep medications in your carry-on rather than a checked bag. Book the aisle seat so standing is easy.

Before you leave Augusta, grab the full checklist.

It feels backward, but holding still often makes chronic pain worse. When you stop moving, muscles weaken and joints stiffen, and the pain digs in deeper.

Gentle, regular movement helps break that cycle. A simple stretching routine, done at an easy pace, keeps you loose and supports whatever medical care you're already doing.

Start small and stay consistent rather than pushing hard once a week. Our Augusta team broke down a simple routine you can build on.
