Our Services

Our services, tailored to the patient's specific condition and needs, form a comprehensive approach to managing and alleviating pain while enhancing overall well-being.

Patients should discuss their symptoms and diagnosis with their pain management doctor to determine the most suitable treatment options.

Diagnosis & Management

  • We thoroughly assess your pain, its underlying causes, and its impact on your daily life. This often involves a comprehensive medical history, physical examinations, and, in some cases, diagnostic tests like X-rays or MRI scans.

  • We ensure patients understand their conditions and treatment options, enabling them to participate in their care and make informed decisions actively.

  • Pain management doctors work closely with physical therapists to develop tailored exercise programs to improve strength, flexibility, and mobility, addressing the underlying causes of pain.

  • Physical modalities can alleviate pain through non-invasive techniques. These may include prescribing tools like TENS units, bracing, heat/ice therapy, traction devices, and more. These modalities are customized to address specific pain sources, aiming to enhance patients' pain relief, improve functional capabilities, and promote an overall improvement in their quality of life.

  • Diagnostic tests that assess nerve function and muscle response, aiding in the diagnosis of conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome or peripheral neuropathy.

  • Emphasis is placed on non-opioid medications, such as anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants, and nerve pain medications, to minimize side effects while effectively managing pain.

  • Independent Medical Examinations and Second Medical Opinions are unbiased medical evaluations conducted by a third-party physician to assess an individual's health or injury for legal or insurance purposes.

Injections

  • Injections of a local anesthetic or anti-inflammatory medication into specific muscle trigger points to alleviate muscle-related pain and discomfort, commonly used for myofascial pain syndrome.

  • Injections to relieve pain and inflammation in peripheral joints like the knee, shoulder, or hip are often used for osteoarthritis or bursitis.

  • These injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly into the epidural space around the spinal cord and nerves to reduce pain and inflammation caused by conditions like herniated discs, pinched nerves, or spinal stenosis.

  • These injections directly target the small joints in the spine, providing pain relief for individuals with facet joint arthritis or injury.

  • Injections targeting the sacroiliac joint, a common source of lower back pain, to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.

  • Nerve blocks involve the injection of a local anesthetic to target specific nerves or nerve clusters, providing temporary relief from pain.

  • An intradiscal injection therapy used to alleviate chronic back pain by delivering a biocompatible gel-like substance directly into spinal discs, aiming to restore disc structure and function while reducing pain and improving mobility.

  • Using an EMG machine, the physician can precisely guide the placement of a therapeutic injectate, such as anesthetic, steroid, Botox, or alcohol. This ensures accurate targeting of specific nerves or muscles to alleviate pain or address a medical condition.

  • A regenerative therapy that uses a concentrated solution of a patient's own blood platelets to promote healing and reduce inflammation in injured or damaged tissues.

  • Injecting a gel-like substance into the knee joint to provide lubrication and cushioning, helping to relieve pain and improve mobility in patients with osteoarthritis.

Procedures

  • A minimally invasive procedure that uses heat to destroy the nerves responsible for transmitting pain signals, offering longer-term relief for chronic pain conditions such as facet joint arthritis in the spine or arthritis of the knee.

  • A minimally invasive procedure to treat vertebral compression fractures by injecting a special cement mixture into the fractured vertebrae to restore height and relieve pain.

  • Vertiflex Interspinous DecompressionA procedure involving the implantation of a spacer device between the spinous processes to relieve symptoms of lumbar spinal stenosis and neurogenic claudication.

  • A programmable pump is implanted to deliver medication directly to the spinal cord, providing localized pain relief, often used for severe and intractable pain.

  • SCS involves implanting a device that sends electrical signals to the spinal cord, masking or interrupting pain signals. It's an effective treatment for neuropathic pain or failed back surgery syndrome.

  • A minimally invasive procedure aimed at stabilizing the sacroiliac joint using small incisions and implants to alleviate chronic lower back pain by reducing excessive motion.
