Services
Epidural Steroid Injections
Targeted injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly to spinal nerve roots, reducing inflammation and pain. Ideal for sciatica, herniated discs, and post-surgery recovery. Patients often experience relief after the first session, with effects lasting weeks to months.
Radiofrequency Ablation
Minimally invasive procedure using heat to disable pain-transmitting nerves for lasting relief. Treats chronic back, neck, and joint pain with 70-80% success rates. Effects typically last 6-12 months, often eliminating the need for surgery.
Spinal Cord Stimulation
Advanced implantable device interrupts pain signals before reaching the brain using electrical impulses. Effective for complex regional pain syndrome and failed back surgery syndrome. Clinical studies show 50-70% pain reduction in appropriate candidates.
Joint Injections
Precision corticosteroid injections into affected joints provide rapid inflammation reduction for arthritis and sports injuries. Commonly administered in shoulders, knees, and hips with immediate mobility improvement reported by 85% of patients.
Medication Management
Comprehensive oversight of pain medications including non-opioid alternatives and controlled substance prescriptions. Individualized tapering plans help patients reduce dependency while maintaining quality of life through multimodal treatment approaches.

Report
Dr Christensen helped me a lot, but his staff always had trouble figuring out how much I was going to owe. I was supposed to schedule an injection, but now they said I'd have to pay my (tier 2)copay for a consult then another for the injection. If you can afford to see Dr. Christensen, I HIGHLY recommend him. If you can't, good luck. Hopefully I can find someone half as good as he is that I can afford, sometime very soon...

I was looking for a doctor to treat not just my symptoms but the cause of my discomfort. I found that in the care Im receiving from Dr. Christensen. His staff was professional and courteous. Dr. Christensen instructed me to reach out to him at any time as he plans to be around for the next 30 years! Love a sense of humor!

Couldn't walk for days, and as a nurse that's debilitating to a career. Dr. Christensen is very comforting and you need that when your discussing your future and the ability to walk. Great bedside manner and staff is very friendly and helpful. Have already told many other nurses and friends in general about him and his abilities.

I love Dr. Christensen. I was nervous about going to pain management for the first time because I didn't know what to expect. All of his staff made me feel comfortable and Dr. Christensen explained everything I needed. I've been back multiple times and if I could give multiple 5 stars I would. It's very easy to set up an appointment and my pain was addressed directly. When I needed another round of treatment, I was in within a couple of days. Thank you to this team!

Very comfortable and welcoming environment. Dr. Christensens staff is the best you will find anywhere. Ive honestly not met a group better. Whitney worked hard to get me in as soon as possible. Lucy and Alex were both part of the team that cared for me. And Dr. Christensen made me less anxious and gave me confidence in his abilities and plan for my pain management. Hes kind and funny as well. There was even a comfortable waiting area for my husband. Really positive experience. Many thanks to all!
