Spoke at @lawdigras today and somehow got cross-examined about cartilage. If you missed it, here’s the short version: steroids are the rebound relationship, PRP is the one you settle down with. Thanks to NTL Events and The Simon Law Group for having me. by @akashbajajmd

Most people think a spine injection is simply about putting a needle into the right area.

It’s much more precise than that.

For many spine injections, I use live fluoroscopy (real-time X-ray) to:

• Confirm the exact anatomy
• Guide the needle to the intended target
• Use contrast to verify where the medication is going
• Improve precision and avoid critical structures

When you’re treating a specific nerve root or spinal structure, millimeters can matter.

The goal isn’t simply to “do an injection.” It’s to know exactly where you’re placing it and why. by @akashbajajmd

Most back pain is not an emergency.

But these 3 signs are your body telling you to skip the “let’s see if it gets better” approach:

🚩 Numbness in the groin/inner thighs
🚩 Loss of bladder or bowel control
🚩 Night pain that’s worsening + unexplained weight loss

If any of these sound familiar, don’t wait it out — get evaluated.

Save this so you know the difference between “rest it” and “go now.” 📌 by @akashbajajmd

It takes a team. 👊

Meet some of the people behind the scenes who help me perform spine injection procedures safely, efficiently, and with precision.

From getting the room ready to assisting during the procedure and taking care of patients before and after—great outcomes aren’t about one person. They’re about having a great team.

Grateful for the people who make it happen every day. by @akashbajajmd

Most people have the order backwards.

Lifestyle first.
Labs second.
Supplements third.

Your health isn’t hidden in a $70 bottle of capsules.

Which supplement do you think is the biggest scam? by @akashbajajmd

Chronic back pain can steal years from your life.

If you’ve been told to “just live with it,” there may be another option: Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA).

RFA is a minimally invasive procedure that uses heat generated by radio waves to interrupt pain signals from small nerves—most commonly those supplying the facet joints in the neck and low back.

The best part?

Many patients experience relief lasting 6 months to 2+ years, allowing them to get back to exercising, traveling, golfing, and simply enjoying life again.

RFA may be an option if you suffer from:

• Facet syndrome
• Chronic neck pain
• Chronic low back pain
• Arthritis of the spine
• Pain that improved after diagnostic nerve blocks

It’s not about masking pain. It’s about targeting the source.

Isn’t an epidural just an epidural?”

Not exactly.

One of the most common questions I get is the difference between a labor epidural and a pain epidural. While both involve the epidural space, they have very different goals.

• Labor Epidural: Typically placed in the midline and designed to provide pain relief over a broad area during childbirth.

• Pain Epidural: Performed under fluoroscopic (X-ray) guidance using contrast dye to precisely target one or two irritated nerve roots causing pain.

A labor epidural is about comfort during delivery.

A pain epidural is about precision.

If you’re suffering from sciatica, a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or radiating leg pain, the goal isn’t to numb everything—it’s to identify and treat the exact source of your symptoms.

Different techniques. Different objectives. Same mission: improving quality of life.

Your body already contains powerful healing cells. The question is: can we strategically use them to help treat pain?

Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) is an advanced regenerative medicine procedure that concentrates cells and signaling proteins from your own bone marrow before precisely delivering them to an injured or painful area using image guidance.

For the right patient, BMAC may help:
• Reduce pain
• Improve function
• Support the body’s natural healing response
• Delay or even avoid surgery in select cases

Like any treatment, success depends on proper diagnosis, careful patient selection, and precise technique. It isn’t a miracle treatment—but in appropriately selected patients, it can be a valuable part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

At Remedy Pain Solutions, we focus on evidence-informed regenerative therapies tailored to each individual rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

If you’re dealing with persistent joint, tendon, or ligament pain and want to explore alternatives to surgery or long-term medications, schedule a consultation to learn whether BMAC may be right for you. by @akashbajajmd

Low back pain isn’t always a “slipped disc.”

One of the most common causes I see is facet syndrome—arthritis or inflammation of the small joints in the back of the spine. It often causes pain that’s worse with standing, walking, twisting, or leaning backward.

The good news? Once we identify the source of the pain, there are several effective treatment options, from physical therapy and medications to targeted injections and, in the right patients, radiofrequency ablation for longer-lasting relief.

If you’ve had persistent low back pain that just won’t go away, getting the correct diagnosis is the first step.

Those stubborn knots in your neck, shoulders, or back may be more than just muscle tension.

Trigger points are tight bands of muscle that can cause pain, stiffness, headaches, and even pain that radiates to other areas of the body. Trigger point injections are a quick, minimally invasive treatment that can help relax these muscles, improve mobility, and reduce pain.

If you’ve been stretching, massaging, and trying to “work through it” without success, it may be time to identify the source of the problem.

The World Cup brings the world’s best athletes to LA — and a reminder that how you treat injuries matters as much as how you train. by @akashbajajmd

The fastest fix isn’t always the right fix. 🧵 listen to understand why corticosteroids — while useful — can become a trap when overused, and what we do differently at Remedy. #PainManagement #RegenerativeMedicine #SpineCare #BackPain #JointPain PRP IntegrativeMedicine RemedyPainSolutions by @akashbajajmd
