Beth Rifkin was kind enough to submit a response to the yoga post last week. I am amazed by the variety of thoughts and opinions about yoga and how it can effect a variety of health conditions.
The other portion of the video is a response to a question from Trisha in Arkansas about a procedure called radio frequency ablation, or RFA. RFA can be used to treat several painful conditions- but it is not for everyone. Typically, it seems to be most useful for radicular conditions (radiating pain along the length of a nerve)- although many of the physicians doing it will tell you it is useful beyond that relatively small group of pain sufferers. In any case, it seems to be a far less invasive alternative to all out back surgery. I will be posting an interview with a physician who does dozens of these procedures each week in the not too distant future.
Thanks for stopping by!
