Services
Ketamine Infusion Therapy
Ketamine therapy resets nerve pathways to treat chronic pain, depression, and PTSD. This intravenous treatment enhances neuroplasticity, offering rapid relief where traditional methods fail. Patients experience symptom improvement within 24 hours, with effects lasting weeks to months through repeated sessions.
Medical Marijuana
Pennsylvania-approved medical marijuana provides non-addictive pain relief with minimal psychoactive effects. Our program follows strict state regulations for treating chronic pain conditions using FDA-compliant formulations like oils and topical creams while prohibiting recreational forms.
Spinal Cord Stimulator
Implantable devices interrupt pain signals through electrical stimulation. The trial phase involves temporary leads for three-day home testing before permanent implantation. This advanced solution targets severe chronic pain unresponsive to conventional treatments.
Epidural Steroid Injection
Targeted injections deliver corticosteroids to reduce spinal inflammation. This procedure alleviates sciatica and back pain by addressing nerve compression. Multiple sessions may be administered for sustained relief of radicular pain symptoms.
Trigger Point Injection
Direct injections into muscle knots relieve localized pain and inflammation. This minimally invasive procedure treats myofascial pain syndromes by delivering medication directly to affected areas for immediate muscle relaxation.

Report
This office is a disgusting example of greed. I was referred here to be evaluated for a pain pump placement to help manage my pain since other options werent available. The doctor refused to listen to a word I said. He did not look into my condition and the benefits it would have with the pump. No. He turned around and told me We can offer you Ketamine infusions. They are $750 a month and youll need a driver. It isnt guaranteed to work and insurance is NOT accepted for this procedure. This office would rather give a disabled single mother a horse tranquilizer than something
