DRG stimulation offers relief where other pain treatments fail, but how does it actually transform chronic pain? đź’«

For so many in our community, “chronic pain” isn’t just a symptom, it becomes an unwanted part of daily life. Trying countless medications, physical therapy, or even surgeries can leave you wondering, “Will anything ever change?”

That’s where DRG stimulation enters the story of hope. This advanced form of neuromodulation uses a spinal cord stimulator, which is a device carefully implanted under the skin between your vertebrae and the spinal cord. With a remote control, you (yes, you!) direct “electrical impulses” through the spine to disrupt those persistent pain signals.

Instead of pain, you may feel a gentle tingling, or simply relief, because DRG stimulation helps reframe how your brain interprets discomfort.

For those who have tried non-surgical pain treatments without success, DRG stimulation may offer a fresh start, especially if your journey includes:
- Ongoing post-surgical pain
- Chronic back pain or nerve pain
- Sacroiliac joint pain that just won’t let up

The road to relief is a careful, measured process. It often begins with a trial: a temporary device is implanted for about a week to see if it truly helps. If the results inspire hope, Dr. Weisbein gently places the long-term device under your skin using local anesthesia (you remain awake and may receive a sedative). Most patients head home the same day, though the area may be sore for a few days. Vigorous activities should be on pause for a couple of weeks.

DRG stimulation can improve sleep, boost quality of life, and may even reduce the need for pain medications. At Napa Valley Orthopaedic Medical Group, the approach is always boutique, holistic, and deeply personal.

Spinal neuropathy awareness is crucial because neuropathy affects 25%-30% of Americans with disruptive symptoms.

Too often, nerve pain is mistaken for muscle pain. Both can cause deep frustration. But understanding the difference can open the door to real solutions for chronic pain.

Neuropathy, also referred to as peripheral neuropathy, occurs when your peripheral nerves are damaged. These nerves branch out from the spinal cord, sending messages to every corner of the body. When nerves are affected, signals are misread or interrupted, leading to pain, tingling, weakness, or feeling like you’re wearing gloves or socks. Muscular pain, on the other hand, typically relates to strains, tightness, or soreness. Recognizing these differences empowers patients to seek the most effective care.

Common causes of spinal neuropathy include:
- Diabetes
- Autoimmune disorders (such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus)
- Infections (like Epstein-Barr virus and Lyme disease)
- Kidney disease
- Trauma

Symptoms depend on which nerves are affected. You might notice pain, numbness, tingling, loss of balance, weakness, or sensitivity to touch. Sometimes, it’s hard even to hold objects or keep your footing.

But here’s the good news. Personalized treatment plans at Napa Valley Orthopaedic Medical Group are designed to restore quality of life. Options may include:
- Medication
- Topical treatments
- Physical therapy
- Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)
- Nerve blocks
- Spinal cord stimulation

Everyone’s pain experience is different. That’s why Dr. Weisbein takes the time to understand your story and create a plan just for you. Relief is not one-size-fits-all, it’s personal and possible.

Spinal injections plus physical therapy may offer moderate pain relief and recovery for chronic spine issues, are you missing out?

Chronic pain can feel overwhelming. Many people try rest, medications, even years of uncomfortable symptoms, yet the pain lingers. Honored to stand alongside those searching for answers, Napa Valley Orthopaedic Medical Group is inspired to create new hope for patients with chronic low back pain or sacroiliac joint discomfort.

Spinal injections are medicines used to relieve chronic pain that doesn’t subside with conservative treatments. These injections deliver medication directly into the affected area of the spine, targeting specific nerves or inflamed tissue to reduce pain and inflammation.

Pairing spinal injections with physical therapy is a team approach. This combination is often recommended when medication, physical therapy, or lifestyle modifications have not relieved debilitating back or neck pain. Physical therapy helps strengthen and stretch tissues near your spine to reduce pain associated with spinal stenosis and prevent future injuries.

The benefits of combining spinal injections with a structured physical therapy program can include:
- Targeted pain relief so you can start moving again
- Diagnostic information and therapeutic relief
- Improved strength, mobility, and stability to prevent future injuries
- A personal plan for mobility exercises, stretches, and recovery

Importantly, outcomes will vary based on diagnosis and chronicity. When spinal injections are paired with organized physical therapy, moderate pain relief is common for mild-to-moderate spine issues. However, the long-term effects after six months can be inconsistent. Results are not guaranteed, and injections may not be universally effective. That’s why a multimodal care team makes all the difference.

After a thorough review of your symptoms, medical history, and an exam, the right candidates are identified. Most people experience little to no downtime after an injection, with pain relief possible within a day or two. Mobility, stretching, and stability exercises (prescribed after injection) are designed to optimize your recovery and help you reclaim what matters most.

Spinal stenosis awareness starts with recognizing the narrowing of your spinal canal and symptoms you shouldn’t ignore.

Chronic pain changes how you move, how you rest, and how you show up for what matters most. It’s humbling to meet individuals who have spent months, sometimes years, searching for answers and support. At Napa Valley Orthopaedic Medical Group, it’s our privilege to stand with them, offering expertise and genuine compassion every step of the way.

Spinal stenosis is more common than you may think. It’s the narrowing of your spinal canal or space around your spinal cord. This pressure on spinal nerves can cause real obstacles in daily life. Common symptoms include:
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Numbness or tingling in your limbs
- Walking or balance problems
- Weakness
- Cramping in one or both of your legs

Every symptom tells a story. For some, it begins with a subtle ache that won’t go away. For others, it’s worrying numbness, cramping, or balance problems that seem to come from nowhere. People over 50, those with a history of trauma, and anyone with spinal deformities may have an even higher risk. The truth is, anyone can be affected.

Diagnosis starts with a conversation and a review of your medical history. We may recommend imaging, such as X-ray, MRI, or CT, to understand what’s happening and select the most effective treatment. Solutions might include physical therapy, steroid injections, decompression, or minimally invasive surgery, always guided by what will best support your life and goals.

Untreated spinal stenosis can become serious, even leading to complications like balance problems, incontinence, or paralysis. Early awareness and expert care can change that path. Together, we can find answers. We witness the power of knowledge and early action every single day.

Have you or a loved one experienced any of these symptoms? Which daily activities matter most to you when seeking pain relief? đź’¬

Intracept procedure offers a breakthrough, minimally invasive path to lasting relief for chronic low back pain sufferers.

Chronic pain has a way of reshaping lives, especially when every day feels limited by back pain that just won’t go away. At Napa Valley Orthopaedic Medical Group, our team witnesses patients’ stories of courage, people who have tried medications, injections, physical therapy, and still find themselves searching for real, sustainable relief. Honored to be part of your journey to reclaim what pain has taken.

The Intracept procedure (also known as basivertebral nerve ablation) stands out as an advanced option for individuals with certain types of chronic low back pain. Here’s what makes it unique:

- Minimally invasive treatment targeting the basivertebral nerve, a key source of vertebrogenic pain in the spine.
- Performed through a small incision in the lower back, using a guided cannula and radiofrequency heat to interrupt pain signals at their source.
- Implant-free. This means your spine’s natural structure is preserved, no hardware required!
- Supported by two Level I randomized controlled trials demonstrating durable improvements in pain and function after a single treatment (internet sources).
- FDA-cleared. Backed by multiple studies illustrating safety, effectiveness, and long-lasting results.

Is the Intracept procedure right for you? This approach is reserved for patients with specific types of chronic low back pain who have not found relief through medication, injections, or physical therapy. Most people appreciate that the procedure is outpatient and typically only takes 60 to 90 minutes under general anesthesia.

Afterwards, rest and avoid exercise for about 48 hours. While some mild soreness or bruising around the incision is common, most are back to daily routines quickly. 🌟

It’s about restoring hope. About offering new answers when other roads have ended. At Napa Valley Orthopaedic Medical Group, Dr. Weisbein leads with empathy, expertise, and a deep drive to help patients find the right path to relief.

02/05/2026

Sacroiliac joint pain can often be overlooked, yet understanding its dysfunction is vital for lasting spine and body stability.

For so many patients, chronic pain in the lower back, hips, or buttocks becomes a barrier to the life they love. It’s easy to assume this persistent discomfort comes from the spine alone, but the underlying cause may be sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction.

Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction refers to pain or discomfort arising from abnormalities or imbalances in the sacroiliac joint, which connects the sacrum (the triangular bone at the base of the spine) to the ilium (part of the pelvis). This joint is essential for stability and load transfer between the spine and the lower body.

When this joint is not functioning smoothly, even the simplest activities, like standing, walking, or climbing stairs, can become daunting. Diagnosing SI joint pain can be complex and typically involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests. Many people experience frustration when imaging results appear “normal,” yet pain lingers. That’s why expert evaluation matters.

Common causes of SI joint pain include:
- Trauma or injury
- Pregnancy and related changes
- Degenerative or inflammatory conditions
- Leg length differences
- Overuse/repetitive stress
- Muscle imbalances
- Sacroiliitis or structural abnormalities
- Stress fractures in the pelvis or sacrum

Signs of SI joint dysfunction might include lower back pain (often one-sided), buttock pain that can radiate down one leg, hip or groin aching, pain with standing from sitting, or discomfort when sitting on hard surfaces.

At Napa Valley Orthopaedic Medical Group, Dr. Jackie Weisbein and her team provide thoughtful, holistic care, helping patients rediscover what’s possible. Personalized solutions may include SI joint injections, or, depending upon severity and type, innovative treatment options such as SI-Bone iFuse INTRA and iFuse TORQ.

Vertebrogenic back pain is a chronic condition linked to vertebral endplate damage, are you overlooking this cause?

Chronic low back pain can weigh down every part of life. But not all back pain is the same. “Vertebrogenic low back pain” is a specific condition caused by damage to the vertebral endplates in the spine. It often hides in plain sight, making patients feel like hope is running out.

Who faces vertebrogenic back pain? Honored to care for people who describe:
- Deep, aching, or burning pain in the low back
- Pain that gets worse when bending forward, sitting for long periods, or staying active
- Sometimes even tingling, numbness, or weakness if a degenerative disc is present

It’s usually tied to wear and tear over time, but disc degeneration can play a role as well. If this sounds familiar, and the pain has lingered for six months or longer, even after trying rest, therapy, or medication, you’re not alone.

A crucial clue: An MRI may reveal “Modic changes” (signs of inflammation or damage in the bone next to your discs). Carefully matching symptoms and imaging gives patients a real answer, not just a label.

At Napa Valley Orthopaedic Medical Group, advanced options like the Intracept procedure (basivertebral nerve ablation) are changing the conversation. This minimally invasive procedure targets the basivertebral nerve inside the vertebra to interrupt pain signals, giving hope to those who feel stuck.

What to expect? A small incision and radiofrequency heat are used to treat the nerve. Afterward, patients may have mild soreness or swelling for a few days. Studies suggest meaningful relief is possible with the right care and attention to detail.

Careful patient selection, high-quality imaging, and support with rehab can make all the difference. Empowering patients is the mission.

Have you or someone you love felt stuck with low back pain that just won't get better? What questions do you have about new treatment options?

Fibromyalgia pain can intensify after a period of intense stress, could mind-body strategies be the missing link?

Stress and pain often travel together, making daily life feel overwhelming for so many living with fibromyalgia. This chronic pain disorder causes widespread pain and “tenderness to even the lightest touch,” often bringing fatigue, sleep problems, headaches, depression, anxiety, or even TMJ pain.

Science is moving forward. Thoughtful investigations reveal fibromyalgia may begin with a chemical imbalance in the brain. Genetics, infections, physical or emotional trauma, or a period of intense stress can all play a role.

For those thinking, “I’ve tried everything,” there is hope. Guidelines now recommend an integrative, tailored approach to managing fibromyalgia, focused not only on medication, but also education and psychological support. The research shows:

- Health education can reduce pain intensity and boost quality of life
- Nonpharmacological strategies and personalized care are recommended
- Psychological therapies can help break the pain-stress cycle

If your pain has lasted three months or longer, with no clear cause, it is important to seek an evaluation. At Napa Valley Orthopaedic Medical Group, the approach is holistic, patients receive personal care, lifestyle support, and encouragement every step of the way.

Empowerment happens when we bring science, compassion, and community together. You are not alone. ❤️
