Pain Management

We treat all types of pain. If your condition isn’t listed, we have specialists who can help. Conditions treated include:

• Back pain
• Chronic pain that does not respond to conservative pain relief measures
• Hip pain
• Knee pain
• Myofascial pain syndrome—pain radiates from one or more trigger points in your muscles stimulated with or without pressure
• Pain that can’t be relieved with surgery
• Pain that demands an increasing need for opioid medications
• Pain that follows an injury
• Post-surgery pain

Botox Injections. Treats chronic back pain, neck pain or migraine headaches.

Epidural or Spinal Injection with Opioids or Steroids. Delivers opioids or steroids directly into the epidural space located between the vertebral canal and the spinal cord.

Facet Injections. A small amount of anesthetic or steroid medication is injected into your spine to relieve pain. It is intended to help you better tolerate physical therapy.

Nerve Root Injections. Treats pain caused by spinal cord inflammation and helps diagnose the source of the pain.

Trigger Point Injections. Relieves muscle pain especially in your arms, legs, lower back and neck.

Epiduroscopy. A minimally invasive technique used as a pain-relief tool for chronic back pain. It can also be used to diagnose the exact place your pain originates.

Nucleoplasty. A minimally invasive procedure developed to treat patients with mildly herniated discs.

Percutaneous Electrothermal Disc Treatment. A minimally invasive treatment for low back pain caused by a disc.

Radiofrequency Ablation for Headaches. A minimally invasive procedure that uses heat energy to reduce the pain signal from your nerve to your brain.

Radiofrequency Lesioning. A minimally invasive procedure that disrupts nerve signals and relieves pain in your back.

Nerve blocks are a type of injected anesthesia to help reduce inflammation and prevent pain signals from reaching the brain. Nerve blocks can be nonsurgical or surgical.

All Forms of Nerve and Facet Blocks. Treats pain that comes from facet-joint arthritis. Also used as diagnostic tests to find out the source of your back pain.

Intercostal Nerve Block. This treatment helps relieve pain in the chest area caused by shingles.

Baclofen Pump. Baclofen is a muscle relaxant. It can be used with a pump that is implanted under the skin of the abdomen with a catheter to your spine to relieve pain.

Implantable Narcotic Pump. Narcotics are used to relieve pain in certain circumstances. The pump is inserted in your abdomen with a catheter that delivers the narcotic to your spinal fluid with a narcotic pump.

Brain and Spine Treatments

Cryoneurolysis and Cryoablation. Cryoneurolysis uses extreme cold to treat a peripheral nerve. This treatment lasts for weeks or months. Cryoablation freezes nerves to block pain.

Manometric Discography. This is a test to confirm whether the pain originates in your spine.

Peripheral Neurolysis. A peripheral nerve can become trapped by scarring, which makes it painful. Peripheral neurolysis removes the scar tissue.

Spinal Cord Stimulation. This implanted device sends low levels of electricity directly to your spinal cord to relieve pain.

Cancer Treatments

Interventional Pain Treatment for Cancer. These treatments interfere with the pain signal in your body’s nervous system.

Neurolytic Blocks. A type of nerve block used for patients who have various types of cancer.
