Spinal Cord Stimulation
Spinal cord stimulation uses implanted devices to interrupt pain signals, offering relief for chronic back, neck, and neuropathic pain. Ideal for patients who have undergone multiple surgeries or failed traditional therapies, this minimally invasive treatment allows adjustable, personalized pain management. Clinical studies show significant improvement in mobility and reduced medication reliance for qualifying candidates.
Kyphoplasty
Kyphoplasty stabilizes fractured vertebrae using bone cement, restoring spinal integrity and alleviating pain from compression fractures. This outpatient procedure involves minimal recovery time and is particularly effective for osteoporotic or trauma-induced fractures. Patients often experience immediate pain relief and improved posture following the intervention.
Radiofrequency Neuroablation
Radiofrequency neuroablation targets pain-transmitting nerves with heat, providing long-term relief for conditions like facet joint arthritis. The procedure is precise, sparing surrounding tissues, and typically requires only 1-2 sessions. Patients report reduced inflammation and restored mobility without surgical risks.
Epidural Steroid Injections
Epidural steroid injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly to inflamed nerve roots, addressing sciatica and spinal arthritis. This targeted approach reduces swelling and pain, often complementing physical therapy. Effects may last weeks to months, offering a non-surgical alternative for managing chronic discomfort.
Trigger Point Injections
Trigger point injections relieve muscle strain pain by delivering medication directly into tense, painful knots. This quick, office-based procedure is effective for localized back or neck pain, providing rapid relief and improved range of motion without systemic side effects.
