Precision First: How Image-Guided Diagnostics Solve Low Back Pain

Welcome to the Oklahoma Low Back Pain Today Patient-Centered Education Podcast, produced by the Spine and Joint Treatment Specialists at Elite Pain and Health and directed by Dr. Keely John Booth, MD. This episode explains how advanced image-guided diagnostics can pinpoint the true source of lumbar pain. We cover why surface exams can miss the culprit in the crowded anatomy of the spine and how tools like fluoroscopy, ultrasound, and diagnostic nerve/joint blocks act like a wiring camera to confirm the pain generator, guide targeted treatments, and often prevent unnecessary surgery. These are fast, minimally invasive outpatient procedures that provide precise answers and immediate feedback. For more information, visit epainhealth.com or call 405-444-7246.

From Pill Bottles to Precision: The Opportunity for Spinal Pain Pumps to Address Pain at the Source

Listeners learn who may benefit, how the short outpatient trial works before permanent implantation, what the implant and refill process involve, and the potential risks and rewards.

We cover who may benefit (degenerative disc disease, facet joint arthritis, chronic pain that hasn’t improved with conservative care), the three-step process (blood draw, centrifuge concentration, image-guided injection), expected recovery timeline and common post-procedure reactions, and how PRP differs from steroid shots or medications.

From Short Relief to Lasting Freedom: How Radiofrequency Ablation Stops Low Back Pain in Oklahoma

Welcome to the Oklahoma Low Back Pain Today Patient-Centered Education Podcast, directed by Dr. Keley John Booth of Elite Pain and Health. This episode explains how facet joint arthritis causes extension- and rotation-related low back pain and distinguishes short-term injection relief from a lasting solution. Hear how a medial branch nerve block serves as a diagnostic “test drive,” and how radiofrequency ablation (RFA) uses controlled heat to safely silence pain-carrying nerves, typically providing 6–12 months (or longer) of significant relief. The episode covers candidacy, the procedure and safety checks, recovery expectations, and repeatability. If you’ve experienced temporary relief that later returned, this episode shows how to turn that test into a long-term strategy to restore function, reduce medication use, and improve quality of life.
