Pain Management
Our pain management specialists diagnose and treat acute and chronic pain conditions using advanced interventional techniques. We develop personalized treatment plans combining medication management, physical therapy, and minimally invasive procedures to reduce pain and improve function. Our approach focuses on addressing root causes rather than just symptoms, helping patients avoid surgical interventions whenever possible.
Ketamine Infusions
We offer IV ketamine infusions for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and chronic pain management. This innovative therapy promotes neuroplasticity by forming new neural connections that can alter pain perception and mood regulation. While not FDA-approved for these indications, clinical research shows promising results for patients who haven't responded to traditional treatments.
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy services focus on restoring mobility, strength, and function through customized exercise programs and manual techniques. Licensed therapists work with patients recovering from injuries, surgeries, or chronic conditions to improve range of motion and prevent future complications. Treatment plans integrate with other pain management strategies for comprehensive care.
Acupuncture
Certified acupuncturists provide traditional Chinese medicine treatments to alleviate pain and promote healing. This non-invasive therapy stimulates specific body points to improve energy flow, reduce inflammation, and trigger natural pain-relief mechanisms. We incorporate acupuncture as part of multidisciplinary treatment plans for various musculoskeletal conditions.
Spinal Pain Treatment
Specialized care for spinal conditions including neck and back pain, herniated discs, and sciatica. We utilize diagnostic imaging, physical exams, and interventional procedures like epidural injections to identify and treat spinal pain sources. Treatment combines conservative therapies with targeted interventions to restore spinal function and reduce discomfort.
