Unmasking Arachnoiditis: Dr. Alfred Bonati's Innovative Approach
I think it's a misdiagnosis, a failure of a back surgery and a finding in radiology that makes the mistake. So it's not the doctor doesn't know, it's the doctors following the rules of his knowledge.
Imagine living with chronic pain that no medication can relieve, only to find out it’s due to a misdiagnosed condition. In this episode of 'American Medicine Today', Dr. Alfred Bonati and co-host Kimberly Bermel shine a light on Arachnoiditis, a rare and often misunderstood spinal cord condition. Dr. Bonati explains that Arachnoiditis stems from various inflammatory processes in the spine, leading to nerve clumping and severe pain.
However, he argues that many cases labeled as Arachnoiditis are actually the result of failed back surgeries, misinterpreted by radiology. Rather than masking the pain with medication, Dr. Bonati advocates for pinpointing the specific nerve causing the pain and addressing it directly. The patented Bonati Spine Procedures aim to alleviate this pain by reducing inflammation and creating more space for the nerves. This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling with chronic back pain or seeking alternatives to conventional treatments.
