TREATMENTS & PROCEDURES
Evidence-based interventional options
We believe in the academic approach to treating pain and emphasize evidence-based medicine — the treatments we offer are based on peer-reviewed studies and shown effective for the specific condition being treated.
Epidural Steroid Injections
Targeted steroid injections around irritated spinal nerves to reduce inflammation and relieve sciatica, back, and neck pain.
Facet Joint Injections
Fluoroscopy-guided injections to diagnose and treat facet-related neck and low-back pain — and to determine whether radiofrequency ablation is the next step.
Radiofrequency Ablation
Radiofrequency ablation uses heat to interrupt pain signals from facet joints, offering longer-lasting relief for chronic neck and back pain.
Spinal Cord Stimulation
Spinal cord stimulator trial and implantation for chronic back and leg pain when other treatments haven’t provided enough relief.
PRP Therapy
Platelet-rich plasma injections that use your own blood’s growth factors to support healing of injured joints and tissue.
Trigger Point Injections
Trigger point injections to release painful muscle knots and ease myofascial pain.
Nerve Blocks
Diagnostic and therapeutic nerve blocks, including medial branch blocks, to pinpoint and relieve pain sources.
Joint Injections
Image-guided injections into painful joints to reduce inflammation and improve function.
Ketamine Therapy
Low-dose IV ketamine infusions for CRPS, fibromyalgia, neuropathic pain, and treatment-resistant depression.
