Services
Epidural Steroid Injections
Epidural steroid injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly to inflamed nerve areas, reducing chronic back and neck pain. This minimally invasive procedure targets conditions like herniated discs and spinal stenosis. Patients often experience significant pain relief, allowing increased mobility and reduced reliance on oral medications.
Radiofrequency Ablation
Radiofrequency ablation uses heat to disrupt pain signals from nerves, offering long-term relief for conditions like arthritis and nerve damage. This outpatient procedure typically provides pain reduction lasting 6-12 months. It's particularly effective for patients who responded well to diagnostic nerve blocks.
Spinal Cord Stimulation
Spinal cord stimulation involves implanting a device that sends electrical impulses to interrupt chronic pain signals. This advanced treatment is ideal for complex conditions like failed back surgery syndrome. Patients often report substantial pain reduction and improved functionality after conservative treatments fail.
Ketamine Infusion Therapy
Ketamine infusions deliver low-dose anesthesia intravenously to reset pain pathways in treatment-resistant conditions like CRPS and fibromyalgia. This innovative therapy offers rapid relief for severe chronic pain. Patients typically undergo a series of sessions with sustained benefits lasting weeks to months.
Vertebroplasty
Vertebroplasty stabilizes fractured vertebrae by injecting medical-grade cement, providing immediate pain relief and structural support. This procedure treats compression fractures from osteoporosis or trauma. Most patients experience significant pain reduction within hours and improved spinal stability.
