We offer a full spectrum of pain management solutions, ranging from conservative, noninvasive therapies to advanced interventional procedures.
Noninvasive treatments
We often start with conservative measures to manage pain without surgery or injections. These treatments focus on rehabilitation and mental well-being.
- Comprehensive pain education: Understanding your condition is the first step toward recovery. We provide detailed education on chronic pain management strategies, helping you recognize triggers and adopt healthier lifestyle habits.
- Medication management: Our experts review and optimize your prescriptions to ensure safe pain relief. We focus on non-opioid alternatives and careful monitoring to minimize side effects while maximizing comfort.
- Neuropsychological testing: We assess cognitive function and emotional health to create a holistic treatment plan. This testing helps us understand how pain affects your focus and mental clarity.
- Biofeedback: This technique teaches you to control physiological functions, such as muscle tension and heart rate. It is an effective method for reducing stress-related pain and improving relaxation.
- Multidisciplinary treatments: We combine physical therapy, psychological support and medical management into one cohesive plan. This team-based approach addresses all aspects of your health for better long-term results.
Invasive treatments
For pain that persists despite conservative care, we offer advanced interventional procedures. These are performed by skilled specialists using precise imaging guidance.
- Diagnostic spinal procedures: We use targeted injections to identify the exact source of your discomfort. This ensures that subsequent treatments are directed at the correct nerve or joint.
- Selective facet block: We inject medication into the small joints of the spine to diagnose and treat arthritis-related back pain and neck pain.
- Sympathetic blockade: We block sympathetic nerves to treat complex regional pain syndrome and vascular pain. This procedure interrupts the pain signals sent by the autonomic nervous system.
- Selective diagnostic and therapeutic blockade: Our team targets specific nerves to provide immediate pain relief and diagnostic information. This helps us pinpoint the root cause of nerve pain.
- Differential spinal blockade: We use this procedure to distinguish between different types of pain mechanisms. It helps clarify whether pain is physical or centralized in the nervous system.
- Epidural steroids: These common injections deliver powerful anti-inflammatory medication directly to the spinal area. They are highly effective for sciatica relief and herniated disc pain.
- Epidural lysis of adhesions: Scar tissue can trap nerves and cause pain after back surgery. We use a catheter to dissolve this scar tissue, freeing the nerve and reducing pain.
- Sympathetic plexus and ganglion blockades: We perform celiac, hypogastric, and stellate ganglion blocks to treat abdominal, pelvic and upper body pain caused by nerve dysfunction.
- Neurolytic blocks: For severe, chronic pain, we apply agents that disrupt nerve pathways. This provides long-term relief for peripheral, central and sympathetic nerve pain.
- Intra-articular blocks: We inject medication directly into painful joints, such as the knee or hip. This reduces inflammation and improves mobility for arthritis patients.
- Continuous brachial plexus and epidural infusions: We use catheters to deliver continuous pain medication for severe acute pain or postoperative recovery. This ensures steady relief without systemic side effects.
- Spinal cord stimulator trial and implantation: This innovative device masks pain signals before they reach the brain. We perform a trial first to ensure it works for you before proceeding with implantation.
- Radiofrequency thermal coagulation: We use heat energy to disrupt nerve function safely. This provides long-lasting relief for facet joint pain and other chronic spinal conditions.
- Vertebroplasty for compression fractures: We inject medical-grade cement into fractured vertebrae. This stabilizes the bone, significantly reduces pain from osteoporosis, and restores mobility.
