Radiofrequency is Superior to Laser

Palm Beach Spine & Diagnostic Institute offers Radiofrequency alternatives to Laser Surgery with superior outcomes

It is estimated that 1 in 10 people suffer from neck or back pain. They often languish from a never-ending assortment of throbbing hurts that jeopardizes their quality of life. Eight in 10 Americans, between the ages of 20 and 45, have suffered from some form of back pain.

And while there is a seemingly limitless array of temporary remedies, ranging from physical therapy to anti-inflammatory medication, science now introduces enduring hope for people living with pain.

"We’re a relatively new field. Very few people know and understand what we are doing," says Dr. Lawrence Gorfine of Palm Beach Spine & Diagnostic Institute. Dr. Gorfine and Dr. Douglas MacLear, both Board Certified in Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine and are achieving remarkable success with highly specific modern and minimally invasive procedures. Their pioneering techniques eliminate pain at its source by isolating and treating the true cause of the pain. Their breakthrough processes accurately identify the source of the problem and utilize Radiofrequency (RF), rather than Laser to eliminate the pain.

"What is especially attractive about these procedures is that surgical openings are not needed as they are for Laser procedures. Less tissue burning, complications and pain occurs with Radiofrequency," said Dr. MacLear. "The patient’s pain is eliminated without the need of a surgical incision and the placement of a large tube and fiber optic devices into the patient. This allows the person to quickly return to a normal level of activity. We avoid major surgery. The patient is in and out in 2 hours. We treat all patients suffering back and neck pain. Some people are over 55 years of age with degenerative changes in their spine and suffering from spinal stenosis. However, Palm Beach Spine & Diagnostic Institute is especially well known for the treatment of accident victims, including sports injuries, motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall and work-related injuries of both the young and old occurring on the job."
