Brief Answer:
Coolief injections can help!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Coolief injections use cooled radio frequency to control pain. Reports show that it has been pretty effective at controlling pain. Because it acts by directly acting on nerves that relay pain, it should be able to act as well in your back pain. I recommend you give it a try and act on the initial response. If promising, continue and if not, do not.

I hope this helps and guides. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
