Selective Spinal Nerve Root Injection is a targeted approach to pain management that involves the precise delivery of anti-inflammatory medications or anesthetics to the affected spinal nerve root. This procedure is commonly used to address conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and radiculopathy, which can lead to debilitating pain, numbness, and tingling sensations.
Facet joints are small, synovial joints that connect the vertebrae in your spine. Over time, these joints can become a source of pain due to arthritis, injury, or wear and tear. Facet Joint Injection and Block is a minimally invasive procedure that involves injecting a mixture of anti-inflammatory medications and anesthetics directly into the affected facet joint or its surrounding tissues. The goal is to alleviate pain and improve your mobility.
Lumbar Epidurals are a minimally invasive medical procedure designed to alleviate pain by targeting the epidural space in the lumbar region of the spine. This space houses the spinal cord and nerve roots. Through the careful administration of medications, including corticosteroids and local anesthetics, Lumbar Epidurals can effectively reduce inflammation, provide pain relief, and improve overall mobility.
Trigger points are tight knots of muscle fibers that can cause localized pain and referred pain to other areas of the body. Trigger Point Injections are a minimally invasive procedure that involves the direct injection of medications, such as anesthetics and steroids, into these painful muscle knots. By doing so, the muscle is relaxed, blood circulation is improved, and pain is alleviated.
Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty are minimally invasive medical procedures aimed at treating vertebral compression fractures, which often result from osteoporosis or trauma. These fractures can lead to severe pain and deformity. Both procedures involve the injection of bone cement into the fractured vertebra, stabilizing the bone and reducing pain.
Radiofrequency Facet Nerve Ablation, also known as Radiofrequency Neurotomy, is a minimally invasive medical procedure aimed at reducing pain originating from the facet joints in the spine. This procedure involves using heat generated from radiofrequency energy to interrupt the pain signals sent by the affected nerves, providing long-lasting pain relief.
Trigger points are tight knots of muscle fibers that can cause localized pain and referred pain to other areas of the body. Trigger Point Injections are a minimally invasive procedure that involves the direct injection of medications, such as anesthetics and steroids, into these painful muscle knots. By doing so, the muscle is relaxed, blood circulation is improved, and pain is alleviated.
Occipital Nerve Blocks are a minimally invasive medical procedure designed to alleviate pain by targeting the occipital nerves, which are located at the base of the skull. These nerves are often associated with conditions such as tension headaches, migraines, and occipital neuralgia. The procedure involves injecting medications, such as anesthetics and steroids, near the occipital nerves to provide pain relief.
Medication Management in pain management involves the use of various medications to effectively control and alleviate pain. These medications can include analgesics, anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants, nerve pain medications, and more. The goal of Medication Management is to create a customized treatment plan that combines medications to provide optimal pain relief while minimizing potential side effects.
Among the innovative treatments we offer, Percutaneous Lysis of Epidural Adhesions (also known as adhesiolysis) stands out as a potential solution for individuals experiencing Failed Back Syndrome (FBS) or persistent pain after back surgery. FBS can occur due to scar tissue formation (adhesions) around nerve roots or other structures in the epidural space. This procedure involves using specialized tools to break down or dissolve these adhesions, potentially providing relief from persistent pain.
Regional IV Block of Involved Extremity is a medical procedure designed to alleviate pain and discomfort in a specific limb or extremity by delivering pain-relieving medications directly to the affected area through an intravenous (IV) catheter. This technique allows for precise and targeted pain relief while minimizing the systemic effects of medications.
Transforaminal Epidural Injection is a medical procedure designed to alleviate pain by delivering anti-inflammatory medications directly to the affected nerves in the spinal area. This technique involves injecting medications into the foramen, a small opening in the spine through which nerves exit the spinal cord. The injection targets the area where nerves may be compressed or inflamed, providing relief from conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and radiculopathy.
Nerve Root Injections, also known as nerve blocks or nerve root blocks, are medical procedures designed to alleviate pain and discomfort caused by nerve irritation or inflammation. These injections target specific nerves that may be compressed, pinched, or inflamed due to conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or radiculopathy. The procedure involves injecting medications near the affected nerve root to provide pain relief and reduce inflammation.
