Services
Spinal Cord Stimulation
Spinal cord stimulation uses electrical impulses to interrupt chronic pain signals from the back, arms, or legs. This advanced therapy is ideal for patients with neuropathic pain unresponsive to conservative treatments. Our practice offers cutting-edge options like Burst, HF10, and Wavewriter technologies for tailored pain relief.
Kyphoplasty
Kyphoplasty stabilizes vertebral compression fractures through minimally invasive balloon expansion and bone cement injection. This procedure restores spinal stability, reduces pain, and prevents further deformity. It is particularly effective for patients with osteoporotic or traumatic spinal fractures.
Epidural Steroid Injections
Epidural steroid injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication to reduce swelling and pain in the spinal nerves. We offer cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and caudal approaches to address radiculopathy, sciatica, and other nerve-related conditions with precision.
Facet Injections
Facet injections target inflamed spinal joints using anesthetic and steroid medication. This treatment alleviates chronic neck or back pain caused by arthritis, injury, or degenerative disc disease. We combine medial branch nerve blocks and rhizotomies for long-term relief.
Peripheral Nerve Blocks
Peripheral nerve blocks interrupt pain signals from specific nerves using targeted injections. This technique treats conditions like occipital neuralgia, shingles pain, and complex regional pain syndrome with rapid, localized relief.

Dr. Michels and his staff are fantastic. During my last visit I was seen virtually immediately! Dr. Michels read my chart, asked pertaint questions about my medical issues and after listening to me without interrupting me asked me additional questions for clarification. Afterwards he instructed his staff to make a MRI appointment for me ASAP. I received a call from his office with the results of the MRI and have a follow-up appointment with him to go over the MRI findings and discuss treatment options.

The care at this office seems remarkable and the staff is very courteous and accommodating. My experience was good. The only criticism I have is that they need more chairs in the lobby. There are only four. I had to stand up and fill out forms while I waited. This problem is easily solved.
