In the U.S., chronic pain is the most common symptom leading patients to their physicians, according to Dr. Sara Nashi, a TriHealth physician who specializes in pain management, in this podcast episode of Getting Health Care Right.
“Actually, 25% of the population will have back pain in a given year, and up to 80% of the population will have low back pain during their lifetime,” Nashi says.
In the episode, Nashi’s patient, Brenda White, shares her challenges with back pain in recent years and how she was able to overcome those challenges with Nashi’s help — and with a new therapy called a basivertebral nerve ablation.
Listen to their discussion with Jamie Smith, publisher of the Cincinnati Business Courier, to learn about:
- Various treatments White tested to address her pain.
- When a patient is a candidate for basivertebral nerve ablation — and how it differs from other pain treatment procedures.
- White’s life now that she is living without pain and without opioid medication.
- Advice for people who are suffering from back issues.
