Back Pain
Our back pain treatment utilizes minimally invasive procedures like InSpan and FacetFuse to address spinal stenosis and instability. Using fluoroscopic guidance, we target nerve compression and joint degeneration while preserving mobility. Patients benefit from reduced recovery times compared to traditional surgery, with most returning home the same day.
Spinal Stenosis
For spinal stenosis, we offer MILD procedures removing excess ligament tissue and MINUTEMAN spacers to relieve nerve pressure. These 15-20 minute outpatient treatments create spinal canal space without muscle disruption. Over 80% of patients report significant pain reduction within weeks of treatment.
Cancer Pain
Our cancer pain management includes spinal infusion pumps delivering targeted medication and spinal cord stimulators modulating pain signals. These solutions address treatment-resistant pain while minimizing systemic side effects. We collaborate with oncology teams to ensure comprehensive patient care.
Shingles
Shingles pain treatment combines selective nerve root injections with antiviral therapy administered within two weeks of outbreak. Fluoroscopically guided steroid injections at the dorsal root ganglion can eliminate pain in 70% of cases when treated promptly.
Post-Surgical Pain
For post-surgical pain, we employ spinal cord stimulators and targeted nerve blocks to address scar tissue-related discomfort. These interventions often provide lasting relief where conventional treatments fail, helping patients regain mobility without narcotic dependence.
