Services
Spinal Injections
Spinal injections deliver targeted pain relief by administering corticosteroids and anesthetics to inflamed nerve areas. This minimally invasive procedure reduces inflammation, confirms diagnostic findings, and provides long-term pain management for conditions like herniated discs and sciatica. Patients often experience significant symptom improvement within days following treatment.
Spinal Cord Stimulation
Spinal cord stimulation uses implanted devices to block pain signals through electrical impulses. This advanced treatment option delivers personalized pain relief for chronic back and neck pain sufferers who haven't responded to conventional therapies. The reversible procedure includes trial testing before permanent implantation to ensure effectiveness.
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy programs combine active exercises and passive treatments to restore mobility and strength. Certified therapists develop individualized plans incorporating biomechanics training, therapeutic exercises, and modalities like ultrasound and electrical stimulation to improve range of motion and functional abilities for daily activities.
HydroDiscectomy
HydroDiscectomy removes herniated disc material using high-speed water jets through a small incision. This outpatient procedure relieves nerve pressure causing back and leg pain without bone removal or general anesthesia, offering faster recovery compared to traditional surgery while preserving spinal stability.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments stimulate natural pain relief through strategic needle placement at specific body points. This complementary therapy helps manage chronic pain conditions by promoting endorphin production and improving energy flow (Qi) throughout the body's meridian system, often enhancing results from interventional treatments.
