    • Epidural Steroid Injections: Targeted relief for inflammation in the lumbar, thoracic, or cervical spine.

    • Medial Branch Blocks: Diagnostic injections to identify specific sources of spinal joint pain.

    • Radiofrequency Ablation (Rhizotomy): Using thermal energy to interrupt pain signals from the facet joints.

    • Kyphoplasty: A minimally invasive procedure to treat painful vertebral compression fractures.

    • Basivertebral Nerve Ablation (BVNA): A specialized treatment for chronic vertebrogenic low back pain.

    • Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS): Implantable technology that replaces chronic pain signals with soothing sensations or silent relief.

    • Peripheral Nerve Stimulator (PNS): Minimally invasive technology that targets specific nerves outside the spinal cord to interrupt pain signals at the source.

    • Ultrasound Guided Joint Injections: Targeted therapy for shoulders, hips, knees, and other peripheral joints.

    • Ultrasound Guided Nerve Blocks: real-time ultrasound imaging to locate a specific nerve or group of nerves to reduce or stop pain.

    • Sacroiliac Joint Injection: fluoroscopic-guided procedure that delivers anti-inflammatory medication into the SI joint to help relieve lower back, buttock, or hip pain.

    • Occipital Nerve Blocks: Relief for chronic migraines and tension-based headaches.

    • Genicular Nerve Block and Ablation: minimally invasive procedure that uses heat to disrupt pain-signaling nerves around the knee to provide long-lasting knee pain relief.

    • Sympathetic Blocks: Used for complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and circulatory-related pain.

    • Stellate Ganglion Nerve Block: An ultrasound-guided procedure that targets nerves involved in the body’s fight-or-flight response in order to reduce symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and chronic stress.

    • Medication Management: A comprehensive, balanced approach to pharmaceutical support when necessary.

    • Cancer Pain Management: Specialized interventions to improve quality of life during oncology treatment.

    • Post-Laminectomy Syndrome: Persistent pain following a previous back surgery (also known as Failed Back Surgery Syndrome).

    • Osteoarthritis: Chronic joint pain in the knees, hips, or shoulders.

    • Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Dysfunction: Pain in the lower back and buttocks caused by the connection between the spine and pelvis.

    • Facet Joint Arthropathy: Specific localized pain when leaning backward or twisting the spine.

    • Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy: Burning, tingling, or numbness in the feet or hands.

    • Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS): High-intensity, chronic pain usually affecting a limb after an injury.

    • Occipital Neuralgia: Severe headaches originating from the base of the skull.

    • Post-Herpetic Neuralgia: Lingering nerve pain following a shingles outbreak.

    • Piriformis Syndrome: Image-guided procedure that delivers medication around the piriformis muscle to reduce inflammation and relieve sciatic-type pain caused by piriformis syndrome.

    • Vertebrogenic Pain: Chronic low back pain specifically linked to the vertebral endplates.

    • Cancer-Related Pain: Targeted relief for pain caused by tumors or oncology treatments.

    • Compression Fractures: Sudden, sharp back pain often related to osteoporosis.

Why choose us?

  • Minimally Invasive: Most procedures are performed in-office or at an outpatient center with little to no downtime.

  • Image-Guided Accuracy: We use real-time fluoroscopy (X-ray) to ensure every treatment is delivered with sub-millimeter precision.

  • Reduced Dependency: Our focus is on treating the cause, which often reduces or eliminates the need for long-term pain medications.
