Show Notes

Welcome to season 2 of The Daily Diagnosis. We are excited for a new year of great podcasts!

For the first episode of the season Parker, April, and Scott sat down to interview Dr. Tim Houden, pain management specialist at Utah Spine Care – Ogden Clinic. 

Dr. Houden is very experienced and a leader in pain management in the state. We got to know his background and also learned about specific pain treatments used in his practice, specifically radiofrequency ablation (or RFA). Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a procedure used to reduce pain in the back, neck and other parts of the body. It can even be used to reduce headaches.
