Killing her daughter. Im still not even certain as i stand here today about what happened. Nine years after kay cialys death, how casey feels about that shes responsible. Casey anthony in her own words for the first time, today, tuesday, march 7th, 2017. From nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and savannah guthrie. Live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to today on a tuesday morning. Im savannah guthrie, with willie geist, who has padded the crowd. The mascots tournament. March madness begins. Our top story, the grueling battle shaping up in washington, as House Republicans roll out their plan to repeal and replace obamacare. This, as the white house is dealing with questions over its new travel ban just unveiled. And the president s claim over the weekend, without evidence, that trump tower was wiretapped by president obama during the campaign. We have complete coverage of all of this. And were going to talk to the white houses budget director in a moment. First, lets start with nbcs hallie jackson. Hallie, good morning to you. Reporter good morning. That longawaited bill from House Republicans is finally here. That means the real fight finally begins. While the white house calls this bill an important step, democrats argue it doesnt protect the people who need it most. And even some more conservative republicans arent totally thrilled with at least one. Already calling this obamacare 2. 0. It will be congress highest profile battle. Wane the Health Coverage of americans in the balbalance, so of the highest stakes. Today starts the big sell. House republicans looking to convince the public and some of their own party to back the new bill to repeal and replace the Affordable Care act. Whats gone, the mandate or requirement that people get covered or else pay a fine. Who stays . Coverage for people with preexisting conditions. And for children remaining on their parents insurance until age 26. Whats changed . The new bill keeps Medicaid Expansion in place for lowincome americans. But only until 2020. It promotes continuous coverage by implementing a 30 premium on people who let their insurance lapse. And it allows for a system of tax credits to help people pay for insurance, based on age, not income. Credits that would be limited to exclude the wealthy. The price tag still isnt clear without an official cost estimate. Republican leaders say theyll pay for their plan, at least partly, with savings from repealing obamacare. Its important we make these changes. The programs arent sustainable the way they are. We have to restore power to the states. And the ability to take care of peopl people. Reporter whats next . The work to win over skeptical republicans. Like stripping federal funds from planned parenthood. A few gop deflections could mean trouble. Thats why rand paul is getting a personal pitch from the president. He didnt really tell me, its got to be this way or not. I think hes open to kidiscussi. He didnt say take it or leave it. Reporter with republicans in control of congress and the white house, its their best shot yet to make good on a years long promise to undo the Affordable Care act. But democrats, aiming to protect former president obamas signature policy, arent going down easily. We will fight tooth and the nail to make sure that people who have insurance under the Affordable Care act will maintain that insurance. Reporter a Senior Administration official tells me this morning, the white house is working on a plan to put some public pressure on the more hesitant republicans to try to get their support. As for timeline, the gop wants to move fast, aiming to have obamacare repealed and replaced by easter break. Hallie, thank you so much. Mick mulvaneny is the officer of director and budget. Good to have you with us, sir. Thank you for having me. Before we get too wonky and into the nitty gr ttygritty of policy, people are going whats the bottom line . How many fewer or more people will be covered under the new Health Care Plan youve unveiled . We started to get that question a lot. And the real answer is, compared to what . Compared to right now. Well, you cant even compare oba obamacare to right now. What everyone seems to want to ignore is the fact that obamacare is an unmitigated disaster. I live in one of the states, for example, South Carolina, where were down to unprovider under obamacare. If that provider leaves, my entire state loses coverage. Everyone wants to call it a death spiral. Democrats admit that the program is not working. I dont think its fair to want to compare what were proposing today to what obamacare might have been. You have to compare it to what oba obamacare is. And its a failure. Fair enough. Let me play for you something that the president himself said on 60 minutes about whether people will be covered. Take a look. Everybodys got to be covered. This is an unrepublican thing for me to say. A lot of things will say, the lower 25 cant afford private. Universal health care. Im going to take care of everybody. I dont care if it costs me votes or not. Ton insured person will be taken care of, how . I would make deals with existing hospitals. Who pays for it . The government is going to pay for it. Director, can you say this plan keeps that promise of the president to cover everybody . Universal health care. Sure. What people are getting here, is access to coverage of what they have knew. Were comparing it to obamacare. Obamacare made insurance affordable but care to actually impossible to afford. The deductibles were too high. Folks say they have coverage. But they couldnt get the medical care they needed when they get sick. We solve that by giving everyone access to health care they can actually afford. Can we just pause you right there . A lot of people said thats washington speak. Access to health care is not the same as health care. Are you saying definitively that what the president promised, universal health care, will be available to anybody under the new plan . Under obamacare, we forced people to have insurance. Thats easy when you put a mandate on it and they dont participate in the process. You take government and put them between people and their care. The program that we talked about today that the house rolled out last night, is a program that puts people in charge of their own courage. They can go out and get that access through the safety nets and the other things we are providing. I think its a dramatic increase and improvement over the system. The Congressional Budget Office has hnot had time to scoe this to tell us how much it will cost. Would you as a member of congress from South Carolina, cast a vote on something when you dont know what it costs . We will know what it costs before they vote on it. I dont think they can vote on it without the cbo number coming in. I think everybody thats looked at it knows this is going to save a dramatic amount of money. Once you remeal the mandate, you repeal the faxes and you repeal the penalties. The cbo score is going to be positive and helpful long term. White house budget director, mick mulvaneny. Thank you for your time on a busy morning. President trump is out with a new message about jobs and the economy, as he faces growing firestorms over the administrations new travel ban and the claim that thenpresident obama ordered the wiretapping of trump tower during the campaign. Peter alexander is at the white house for us. Reporter good morning to you. The white house appears to have learned some lessons from its failed rollout of the original traveled ban. The new ban being signed with less chaos or confusion. As for the president s claims of wiretapping by president obama, white house aides are refusing to reveal the source of the information. Even as republicans are insisting the president shares the information he claims to know. Overnight, President Trump releasing his first oncamera statement in four days, touting the economy. Were bringing back jobs. Reporter but ignoring his explosive claim that former president obama ordered the wiretapping of mr. Trumps phones, a charge made without proof. Senator john mccain demanding an explanation. The president of the United States should provide any evidence that he might have that would corroborate a charge of this seriousness. Reporter president obamas spokesman denies the allegation. Sean spicer is backing up his boss. Does the president believe that former president barack obama committed a felony . I think the tweets speak for themselves. Reporter but the white house has yet to identify the president s source. Reporte what is his source of this information . The explosive allegation against the past president . The president made it clear he wants the house and Senate Intelligence committees to look into the allegations. Reporter President Trumps claim bubbling up on conservative radio, with host mark levin. I assume obama knew something. Reporter the charges overshadowing the revamped travel ban. Protesters gathering outside of the White House Monday night, as democrats argue the latest executive order is new but far from improved. Its still a travel ban. Its still a refugee ban. It still makes us less safe. Reporter six weeks after President Trump signed his First Executive order in public, touting his travel ban as extreme vetting, mr. Trump signed the new order behind closed doors. Dispatching his cabinet secretaries to make his case. The American People can have high confidence were identifying ways to improve the vetting process. And thus, keep terrorists from entering our country. Reporter the new guidelines impose a 90day ban on travelers from six muslim countries. Removed from the original list, iraq. Green cardholders now exempt. Deleted a preference for religious minorities. It bars all refugees from entering for 120 days. But no longer singles out people from syria, formerly banned indefinitely. Despite the president s initial claim that during any delay, quote, the bad would rush into our country. Meanwhile, the secretary of housing and urban development, ben carson, is fending off criticism. After saying slaves were immigrants, in his first remarks to agency employees. There were other immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave hips and worked harder for less. Reporter last night, ben carson tried to clarify his comments on facebook. Writing in part, the slave narrative and immigrant narrative are two entirely different experiences. The slaves were sold into slavery by slave traders. The immigrants made the choice to come to america. The two experiences should never be intertwined nor forgotten. Savannah and willie . Peter alexander in the Briefing Room in the white house. Now, we move to Severe Weather hammering the midwest and the south overnight. Large hail and heavy rain. More strong storms are expected today. And al is on it. Good morning to you. Good morning, guys. Right now, we are tracking 300 tornadoes so far for the beginning of this year. Thats the most since we saw 2008s very rapid rate. This is trimble, kansas. You can see all of the damage thats been done. It has been very difficult. And theres been a lot of vivid lightning. Take a look, just north of kansas city. I mean, literally, cloudtoground lightning. Thats impressive stuff. And today, we have more of the same. In fact, we have severe thunderstorm watches, now, from louisiana on into arkansas. Parts of mississippi. And on into tennessee, where were watching this risk of Severe Weather today that continues. The squall line continues this morning. The main threat for damaging winds, but we cant rule out an isolated tornado or two. You see this line pushes from western new york and pennsylvania, all the way down to new orleans by late this afternoon, into tomorrow morning. And as it pushes through, well see the strong storms, a lot of rain, pushing in. Anywhere from one to three inches of rain with it. Sorry, didnt want to pardon. Hello. Thats a little too much of me that you want to see this early in the morning. The good news is, its a fast mover. Were watching the possibility of a little noreaster toward the end of the week. Oh, come on. Rollercoaster ride here. Well see you in a minute with the rest of the forecast. Also this morning, the u. S. Has started to delay an antimissile system in south korea in the wake of a provocative missile test by north korea. Youre looking at new video of that launch just released overnight. Nbcs Janis Mackey Frayer is in beijing for us. Good morning. Reporter good morning, willie. The tension continues to escalate here, with north korea touting its latest missile test, massive joint u. S. south korea military drills under way. And the u. S. Deploying forces to the region, against the threat of kim jongun. The first parts of a controversial u. S. Made Missile Defense system arrived in south korea. The terminal High Altitude Aerial Defense system, better known as t. H. A. A. D. Put in place to counter to threat by north korea. This video released from the state news agency overnight, claiming to thousand the latest missile test, the second since President Trump took office. Watching it and smiling, simiki jongun, who has warned of missiles capable of reaching the United States. North korea is the biggest security challenge facing President Trump. North korea says the latest barrage was practice to strike u. S. Military bases in japan. In a phone call, japans Prime Minister says President Trump told him the u. S. Was with japan 100 . But the t. H. A. A. D. System is opposed by china, with officials prepared to take what they call powerful measures, against any boost of u. S. Influence in asia. This will put strain on u. S. china relations. But the Trump Administration in reviewing north korea, its policy and the rising threat level, appears willing to accept a degree of friction in that relationship in order to satisfy its allies in the region. And of course, mitigate the threat. Willie and savannah, back to you. Now, disturbing video that led to the arrest and firing of a day care worker in pennsylvania. It shows a woman pushing a 4yearold girl down a flight of stairs. The incident was caught by a surveillance camera. And point of fact, that camera was installed just a half an hour before this incident took place on friday. Now, 52yearold sarah gable has been charged with assault, harassment, endangering the welfare of a child. The girl suffered a knee injury. She returned to the day care an monday and gable has been fired. A dramatic river rescue in arizona. You can see the man grabbing on to the landing skids of a helicopter. The man became stranded after heavy rain forced officials to release batter from upstream dams. The helicopter lifted the man to safety and put him down on the river bank. Believe it or not, he was not seriously injured. Lets turn back to al. You tell us about the noreaster . No. Thats a little ways away. When you say noreaster, our ears perk up. Were noreaster. Thats true. Before we get to that, lets look at whats going on around the country. You can see we have the risk of strong storms especially in the Lower Mississippi river valley. We continue to have the high fire danger in the central part of the country. Well look at that. And another big storm moving into the Pacific Northwest and the cascades with more snow for the sierra, as why do so many businesses rely on the u. S. Postal service .

President trump released a statement overnight, praising exxon mobil for the companys plan to build refineries and plants along the gulf coast. I said were bringing back jobs. This is one big example of it. But whether its the pipelines or so many other things, including the fact that Car Companies are moving back to michigan, ohio, soon to be pennsylvania and lots of other places, were really doing well. Its worth noting exxon mobils growing the Gulf Initiative began with several investments in 2013. Now, to a bombshell interview released overnight. Casey anthony, the florida woman accused and acquitted in the 2008 killing of her own daughter, is speaking out for the very first time. Todays national correspondent, craig melvin has that. Reporter Casey Anthony believes that much of the world believes she killed her daughter, caylee. But in an interview with the Associated Press, she insists she does not know how the last hours of the toddlers life unfolded. Nine years after caylees death and six years after Casey Anthony was acquitted of her murder and other charges of harming her daughter, is breaking her silence in exclusive interviews with the Associated Press about her daughters death and the years since. Once labeled the most hated mom in america, anthony says she knows many people still think she killed caylee. Do your understanding, how do did she die . I dont know. You dont know. Something about drowning, possibly. Everyone has their theories. I dont know. So, your parents had her . My dad did. And the next thing you know, shes missing, right . How did it play . I did what i was told. I dont remember too much of what happened. Reporter caylee went missing in june 2008. But had been missing for a month before her grandmother contacted police. Casey anthony was eventually charged in her disappearance. Police later finding caylees remains in a wooded area near the familys home. Anthony says, the last time she saw kalecaylee, she believed th she was alive and she was going to be okay. Give me the situation of when things went wrong. When did things go wrong . All of a sudden like, where is caylee . Is that how it went . No. What i remember is, being in bed. My mom coming in, before she left for work. And saying goodbye to us. And then, waking up several hours later. Later in the morning . Later in the morning. Hour, two hours later. And not knowing where she was. Dont you wib you know what happened . Absolutely. Reporter anthony was found not guilty of first dpree degre murder many 2011. But was convicted of lying to police and served three years in prison. Anthony believes cas s caylee we an extraordinary preteen if she was alive. What would she be like . A total [ bleep ]. I would like to think she would be listening to classic rock and playing sports and not taking [ bleep ] from anybody. Reporter these days, anthony lives and works with patrick mckinna, the private detective that was the lead investigator on her defense team. She tries to live a normal life, staying under the radar. Adding. I dont give a [ bleep ] about what anybody thinks about me. I dont care about that. I never will. Im okay with myself. I sleep pretty good at night. Reporter in the interview, casey says she keeps her bedroom decorated with fphotos of cayle. Openly weeping when she showed off colorful, finger panlted artpoar artwork by her daughter. Nbc news has not seen the full transcripts of the interviews. Five interviews. Many of them were taped. Shes giving with the fellow named lee mckinna, who was the lead investigator, in the o. J. Simpson murder trial for the defense. We want to bring in msnbcs legal correspondent, ari melber. Good morning to you. Casey anthony took no responsibility for caylees death in this interview. If she had done that, if she said something about the lines, is there anything that can happen to her at this point, given shes opinion acquitted at trial . No. Shes in the clear because of doublejeopardy regarding the allegations of a physical crime. The only thing would be if she admitted to some new thing. But she was in trouble for false statements. Theres not a lot left. People think, why now . Why speak out now . And is there any risk, whether it be legal or otherwise . Perhaps she wants to turn a page. But this was a case that had so many questions, the first being why wait 31 days to report a missing child . And i dont know that, again, partial interviews as craig melvin emphasized. Another quote that jumped out in the a. P. Report was her saying there is still a lot she cannot explain. Its not as if after a trial full of questions shes given some new answer or something she didnt want to say on the stand. Its much more questions lingering. The judge had just spoken out, the trial judge had just given an opinion about this case recently. Yeah. The trial judge has spoken out. Thats probably inappropriate. Thats a person you want to stay impartial throughout the whole arc of it. These cases have become huge blockbuster points of discussion. As regular people keep an eye on them, sometimes the participants and the judges do, as well. This is a situation where, for folks who remember, the try unearthed all of the questions about why didnt you report . Why didnt you have good answers for what happened . Why did some physical evidence appear to suggest that someone who knew the child killed the child . But thats not always enough to bear the burden of proof, as you well know, savannah. The prosecution didnt ultimately have that smoking gunnel evidence of what really happened. They had a lot of questions of suspicious behavior. Suspicious behavior doesnt mean youre a murderer in the ice of the law. Absolutely. Ari, thank you very much. Lets get another check of the weather from al. Guys, were talking about wildfires. This one in hutchison, kansas. Holmes being threatened. Thousands of akers burning. We have wildfires going on right now, in not only kansas. But oklahoma, missouri, texas and down on into florida.

Good morning. Reporter good morning. This piece of equipment may be familiar to momstobe, or people that have just guinn birth, savannah. But remarkably, the ultrasounds also work on orcas. And we can see amazing images of a soontobe born calf. Takara got pregnant before seaworld decided it would end its breeding program. So, her birth in captivity will be the very last. There we go. Reporter takara the killer whale. Getting an ultrasound. Shes gained 600 pounds during her pregnancy.

Probably the aoror to. And this shows the calfs jaw line. Thats really clear. And shes moving around. Or he. Or he. Reporter but with that excitement here at seaworld, also a realization. Not everyone likes the idea of animals in captivity. Documents like blackfish bringing the issue into the spotlight. In general, our society is perceiving animals differently. Theyre not just animals anymore. Theyre also individual living beings. And people are more respectful for the nature around us, which is a great thing. What do you think of all this . Reporter julie has spent about two decades are orcas at seaworld, and more than seven years with takra. Youre excited. Very excited. Reporter and people who say this is interesting, they think it might be a little sad to think that a newborn will be here instead of out in the wild. You would say . Dont be sad. This is historic. Its amazing. It will be magical. And were going to do everything we can to make sure that were going to take care of this cough as well as the rest of the whales here at seaworld. Reporter the Animal Rights group, peta, says in part, theres no reason to keep this new baby in a tank for decades, when she and her mother could spend a new life together in a seaside sanctuary. Seaworld says there are no sanctuaries, only the open ocean. To do that would be really a death sentence. Reporter a death sentence because newborning learn to hunt and survive at her mothers said. And in this case, takara has never been in the wild. It would be irresponsible to think that we can take animals that have been under human care, have been in this environment for their entire lives and release them responsibly. Reporter so, for all those momstobe at home, who might feel a little uncomfortable, an or orcas gestation period, 18 months. A long time.

Al voted leopard, too. You know who will take them both, the honey badger. Always bet on honey badger. I love the honey badger video, more than reasonable. Now, you saw that same snake but it had emojis on its skin. Like this python. He has smiley emojis. Apparently this is real. You made this up. I didnt. A python breeder took eight years to come up with the unique pattern. He didnt. They tell me this is real. They said, of course, the snake is extremely real. You think . And could be sold for 4,500. But the breeder is choosing to keep this little masterpiece to himself. They say its real. How . Didnt do that well in biology. The first one came out with the poo e moerj emoji. Why the smiley face . I would have had the wine glass. I think its a white python that somebody drew on. They assured me it is real. A false story tomorrow. How about pop start.

Now, the podcast, missing Richard Simmons is trying to find out why. Exercising was never by thing. Reporter the podcast creator says after 40 years of teaching exercise classes, simmons suddenly stopped with no warning or explanation. On february 15th, 2014, Richard Simmons doesnt show up to class. And he didnt just stop showing up. He stopped communicating altogether. Reporter totally out of character, he says. For a guy who loved being around people. But last march, simmons spoke to savannah by phone and denied anything was wrong. Its all the people that are worrying about me, i want to tell them that i love them, with my whole heart and soul. And that, not to worry. Richards fine.

He plays a British Military tracker hired for an expedition to a mysterious uncharted island. You have no idea how dangerous this is. I want fivetimes this. Plus, a bonus if we make it back. If . Pay him. I mean, i think mr. Conrad should be fairly compensated. Heres to porofit in peacetime. You came here looking for a tracker. Who or what am i tracking . Tom hiddleston good morning. Youre mysterious in this role. Youre like a mercenary tracker person. Is that how they described the role when you got it . Yeah. How do you feel about playing a mercenary tracker person . They pitched to me the adventure, basically, in the oldfashioned classic type. Somebody whos kind of more comfortable in the jungle environment. And John Goodmans character hires me to lead this group through the jungle, in an undiscovered island. And hes cynical and worldweary. But what he finds on the island, the clues in the title of the movie. Im glad you said that. Samuel l. Action was here. Kong skull island. When they say go to skull island, what suggests that may not go well . My character is not told its called skull island. And nobody said anything about kong. You signed on before there was a real script, you got to kind of be involved with the producers and the director. Yes. And developing who your character would be. Yeah. I love that element of the Creative Process of just developing the story. And so, we found information about the British Special forces who were serving in indonesia in the late 60s. And thought it would be interesting because sam jackson plays an american colonel, if the ground expedition leader was british s. A. S. There i am. Shouting at this guy. Looking study, i might add. You trained with some former British Special forces officers. Also, a navy s. E. A. L. Thats right. What do they have you doing . Thats not going like going to the treadmill to buff up. Theyre serious. They put me through the special forces paces. Just a lot of pushing and pulling and lifting. Its hard. You know . They are incredibly, highlytrained people. I felt it was, you know, my duty to make some small strides towards that, even though im nowhere near the fitness or the discipline of a professional soldier. You had a big year. You won the golden globe. I read a g. Q. Profile about you. And it asked about the relationship with taylor swift. I thought you gave thoughtful answers. And what it was like to go through all that and to be in the public eye in that way. It must have been kind of disconcerting. Well, yeah. Its you know, i i make a clear distinction between my work, which i absolutely dedicate myself to, which is for the public. I really believe in that relationship between an actor and the audience. There is no you cant call yourself an actor without the audience. And my private life is private. Makes sense. One of the things i read about you, they give you a big stack of clips, is that you love to dance. And i thought, i love to dance, too. But i would not call myself a good dancer. Theres a difference. Yeah. Do you have a signature move or anything . No. Just all organized, disorganized flailing, from a misspent youth in the 90s. Me, too. Have you ever tried the side clap . Its very popular. Maybe i will try that. I never had any skills in that department. Its something i enjoy. Me, too. I enjoyed our conversation. Kong skull island is getting good reviews. It hits theaters on friday.

Everybody knows that alicia is a talented singer and song writer. If i had to turn around and battle adam, once it was time for you to choose, he would have put his hands in the praying position he does. And put his head down. Please, pick me. Pick me. That was good. She got his move down. She sings like that and shes a ventriloquist. Alicia, great to see you. Thank you. Great to be here. This is your Second Season on the show with carson and the gang. What did you learn that makes you a better coach in season two . I think i understand the audience. I understand what everybody is looking for. And song choice is important. I learned that. And i have to help to show them how to be the authentic selves. How to find it amongst the madness. Theres a lot to do in a little bit of time. And when that shines through, you really get something special. We lowered the audition age down to 13. This season, youre seeing really young people get on these teams. When you were 13, you were classically trained. Already incredible. What is it like to turn your chair around and see young kids doing such great work . Its crazy. Its really hard. One of the most incredible things about the show, obviously, is you are only listening to this persons bias anything. When you turn around and see a 13yearold, youre like, you just sang like that . You cant believe it. Its a big testament of how much talent is in the world and how much better people we all get better over time. If youre 13 sounding like that, what are you going to sound like at 18 . Its crazy. When your back is to the stage and we see your face looking at us and the performer up there, what are you listening for, exactly . What do you want to hear for your team . I want to feel. Im looking for the feeling. If it gives me the feeling like its doing something to me, i know it will do something to other people. The season 12, the big story line is blake and gwen and their relationship. What is emerging, not just the blake and adam bromance. But you and gwen, almost a girl crush. We love each other more than blake and gwen love each other. Whats it like with gwen . Its amazing. Shes a friend of mine for a lot of years. Its real cool to be is some place with your friends. We love what we do. We love having this opportunity and show ourselves and give other people the chance to show themselves. You know, we definitely have a connection. And you can tell, its real. Its real. And it feels so good. So much fun. I cant even tell you how much fun it is. Thats why im back for number two. Of course. We talked to other coaches over the years on the voice, who said this show has changed me a little bit. Its done something for me. If im usher, its introduced me to blakes audience. And theres a crossover. And you say, your personality. What has the first and Second Season meant to you . Its true. I feel really blessed to show the full spectrum of who i am as a woman, a person, a human being. I dont think you get a chance to see everybody in their fullness all the time.

Now, to a condition that affects millions of people of all ages. 250,000 adults say they suffer from lower back pain. Some folks are exploring alternative treatments. Well look at one womans journ fi for relief. For the past year and a half, geraldines active lifestyle has been put on hold because of intense lower back pain. Its a spasm in my spine. I literally yelp out in pain whatev wherever i am. Sometimes i have to go home and lay on the floor. Reporter after trying pain medication and physical chairperson, geraldine was offered an alternative plan by dr. Charles kim. Back pain is very common. Back pain makes us human. Roughly 85 of all people will have one episode of a serious back pain episode in their lifetimes. Reporter for geraldine, he suggested a career called radio frequency a blags. Its a Heating Energy to target and then to burn nerves. Cutting off the nerve, reduces the pain signals, from the joint to the brain. Reporter during the procedure, dr. Kim probed for six different nerves to burn. Do you feel anything down your leg, okay . Reporter and moments after standing up, geraldine is already feeling a difference. I have no pain in my back. None . This whole band here, no pain whatsoever. You did great. Thank you very much. After the procedure, takes folks one to two weeks to get the full effect. Insurance will cover the portion of the procedure. But exact reimbursements may vary. I feel like we have people at home that want relief. We have natalie aszar. Shes here to tell us about this procedure. I have never heard of this. Radio frequency oblasian. Who is the ideal candidate . A for a person who has arthritis in their neck or low back thats causing pain or spasm. May have pain that radiates down. The ideal candidate is someone who has that pain but its more focussed in that area. It doesnt necessarily work for the radiating pain. Its someone who has tried and failed conservative theres a limit how much conservative intervention can help. We want people to do massage and yoga and physical therapy. Maybe somebody has a cont contraindication or cant tolerate pain medicines. Thats the person this is for. And whats great about this is that, we like this in medicine anytime you can treat something locally without having an affect on the rest of the body. Theyre heating up a nerve to the point where theyre killing the nerve. The nerve regenerates. Typically the effect lasts from 6 months to 12 months. Its not a forever procedure. What is the success rate . According to dr. Kim, who is doing this procedure. He sees about half to threequarters of his patients have partial or complete relief. Thats huge. Its important to mention that were doing this segment on the heels of new recommendations from the American College of physicians who released guidelines about the management of back pain. And their whole premise and idea is to focus on conservative measures first. The yoga. To do all of that stuff. But for some people, that either, again, has a limit to how much it works or they dont tolerate, you know, the conservative management sometimes or the pain medicine. Without being personal. You suffer from back pain. I do. Would you try this . I manage my back pain, stoically. I take an antiinflammatory periodically. I know what exacerbates it and avoid those maneuvers. If it was hindering me and i wasnt able to engage in the physical activity i enjoy doing it, i would consider doing this. I work with dr. Kim. I could ask for the procedure. Its still a procedure. It requires a bit of sedation. Theres a risk potentially for some soreness or infection, et cetera. I think overall, in terms of procedure, its less invasive than surgery. So many people suffer from it. Good to see you. Thanks so much. Still ahead im doing weather. I have to do weather. I forgot. Im sorry. I was so fascinated by the back surgery. Its true.
