Services
Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injection
This procedure delivers corticosteroids into the lumbar epidural space to reduce inflammation and alleviate lower back/leg pain caused by herniated discs or spinal stenosis. Using fluoroscopic guidance ensures precise medication placement near affected nerve roots. Patients typically resume normal activities the same day with minimal discomfort.
Cervical Epidural Steroid Injection
Targeting neck pain from herniated discs or degenerative conditions, this injection reduces nerve root inflammation using image-guided precision. The outpatient procedure requires no incisions and allows immediate post-procedure mobility with local anesthesia.
Stem Cell Therapy
Utilizing autologous adult stem cells from bone marrow, this regenerative treatment promotes tissue repair for spine and joint conditions. The minimally invasive procedure concentrates stem cells then injects them into damaged areas to stimulate natural healing processes over several weeks.
Radiofrequency Neurotomy
This technique uses heat to disrupt pain signal transmission in specific nerves causing chronic back or neck pain. Guided needle placement ensures targeted treatment of facet joint nerves, providing longer-term relief than conventional injections.
Spinal Cord Stimulator Implant
A minimally invasive implant delivers electrical impulses to interrupt chronic pain signals before they reach the brain. This reversible treatment option undergoes trial testing before permanent placement, offering adjustable pain control for complex cases.
