Cervical, Thoracic and Lumbar Treatments
When back pain won’t go away, your doctor may include injections to ease your back pain and inflammation. These shots usually consist of a steroid and a local anesthetic.
Learn MoreCooled Radiofrequency Ablation
COOLIEF, also known as cooled radiofrequency is a minimally invasive, outpatient treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to heat the nerves and tissue to treat pain. Cooled radiofrequency can be used to treat the back, neck, sacroiliac joint in the spine as well as the hips and knees.
Learn MoreFacet Pain Interventional Procedures
Patients who have been diagnosed with spondylosis of the spine or arthritic changes of the spine leading to facet pain may benefit from interventional therapies.
Learn MoreIntercostal Nerve Blocks
The intercostal nerve is found between the ribs in the upper back. These nerves can become irritated or inflamed, often due to shingles (herpes zoster) leading to Postherpetic Neuralgia.
Learn MoreIntrathecal Pumps – Trial and Implant
An intrathecal pump is used to relieve chronic pain. The pump, placed under the skin of the abdomen, delivers a targeted dose of pain medication into the spinal cord blocking pain signals from being perceived by the brain.
Learn MorePeripheral Nerve Blocks
A peripheral nerve block is an anesthetic practice used in many surgical procedures. It is accomplished by injecting a local anesthetic near the nerve controlling sensation or movement to the area of the body requiring surgery.
Learn MoreSelective Nerve Root Blocks (SNRB)
A selective nerve root block (SNRB) is the injection of a local anesthetic along a specific nerve root. This procedure is used primarily to diagnose nerve root compression.
Learn MoreSpinal Cord Stimulation Trial
Spinal cord stimulation is a therapy that uses a small device to interfere with pain signals before they reach the brain. This pacemaker-like device—the spinal cord simulator or SCS—is implanted in the body and sends electrical pulses to the spinal cord.
Learn MoreSupartz Knee Injections
Supartz is used for treating knee pain in patients with osteoarthritis who have not received relief from other treatments. It is a hyaluronic acid derivative that works by increasing the effectiveness of the fluid within the knee joint to act as a lubricant and shock absorber.
Learn MoreSympathetic Ganglion Ablations
Sympathetic ganglion ablations involve using radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RFTC) to heat up, block, and destroy the sympathetic nerves. RFTC is a relatively safe way of delivering a longer-term, prolonged pain relief.
Learn MoreSympathetic Nerve Blocks
A sympathetic nerve block is an injection of a local anesthetic into the area in which these nerves coalesce, called the Sympathetic Ganglion. This blocks these nerves so that the sympathetic nervous system can no longer mediate the pain.
Learn MoreTrigger Point Injections
A trigger point injection is an outpatient procedure used to relieve pain by treating areas of muscle that contain trigger points (contracted knots of muscle that form when the muscles do not relax). Often these knots can be felt under the skin.
