3 Ways to Start the New Year Pain-Free
Jan 21, 2026
Maybe the entirety of your 2025 was marked by pain, or maybe you had something flare up later in the year — but then stick around. Regardless, if you’ve been dealing with persistent pain, finding relief probably ranks pretty high on your list of priorities for 2026.
We’re here to help. Our team at Anchor Spine and Joint specializes in treating chronic pain.
The treatment that’s most likely to work for you depends on your symptoms and what’s causing them. Visit us at any of our offices throughout Florida — in Tampa, Riverview, Pinellas Park, Odessa, or Lutz — so our team can make a personalized plan to help you move toward a pain-free 2026.
We tailor care recommendations to each patient, but these three resources often play a role: they’re highly effective at addressing pain.
By injecting treatment directly where your body needs it, we can address pain that comes from a broad range of causes.
If your pain comes from inflammation, for example, a steroid shot can bring that inflammation down, lessening your discomfort. We offer these targeted corticosteroid injections for joint pain and back pain.
But maybe your pain centers in your head. If you’ve been dealing with migraines, Botox® injections often help.
Sometimes, pain comes from an injury, or an underlying condition like arthritis. To support your body’s natural regenerative abilities, we also offer injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP). This uses growth factors found in the platelets of your own blood. PRP can be helpful for everything from tendon injuries to osteoarthritis.
Finally, we also offer nerve blocks, which inject numbing medication into the nerves responsible for your pain.
With radiofrequency ablation, we have a way to address a broad range of pain types, including:
During treatment, we use a specialized needle to send radiofrequency energy into the nerves sending pain signals. That stops those nerves from getting those pain signals back to your brain.
Many people get relief for months or years. If the pain returns, we can safely perform radiofrequency ablation again.
Alternatively, we might recommend interfering with the nerve’s signaling rather than destroying the nerve itself.
We can do that with an implanted stimulator that uses mild electrical signals to interrupt your body’s pain signaling.
Spinal cord stimulation is particularly effective for back and leg pain, including sciatica. We also offer peripheral nerve stimulation, which often works best for neck pain and migraines.
