Botox Injections prevent a muscle from spasming for a period of 3-6 months, thus alleviating pain. Conditions treated: Botox Injections are commonly recommended for patients with the following conditions: Chronic migraines Neck pain and spasms What […]
ELECTROMYOGRAPHY AND NERVE CONDUCTION STUDY (EMG/NCS)
Description: Electromyography (EMG) and Nerve Conduction Study (NCS) is the study of muscles and nerves. EMG measures how well your muscles respond to the signals coming from the brain. NCS measures how well signals from the brain travel throughout the nervous system and whether a nerve has been damaged. In combination, these two tests provide […]
TRIGGER POINT INJECTIONS
Description: Trigger Point Injections are designed to reduce pain associated with painful trigger points and tight and overworked muscles. Painful muscles can be present in various areas but are usually found in the neck, middle, and lower back. Frequently, more than one Trigger Point Injection is needed to achieve durable pain relief from muscle pain […]
SELECTIVE NERVE ROOT BLOCKS
Description: Selective Nerve Root Blocks involve the injection of anti-inflammatory and numbing medication around a specific nerve root (also called the spinal nerve) at the level of compression or irritation as it exists the spinal canal. Selective Nerve Root Blocks not only provide pain relief but also help guide further care. Based on the results […]
KYPHOPLASTY
Description: Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure to stop the pain caused by spinal compression fractures, which usually occur because of conditions such as osteoporosis and trauma. During the Kyphoplasty procedure, a small balloon is navigated into the fractured vertebra. Once in position, the balloon is inflated to create a void within the bone. The […]
PERIPHERAL NERVE STIMULATION (PNS)
Description: Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) represents one of the most advanced techniques in the field of Pain Management. PNS is used when nonsurgical and/or surgical options have failed to provide sufficient relief from shoulder, knee, ankle/foot, or groin pain. PNS requires two separate procedures, a “Trial” procedure and a “Permanent Implant” procedure. For the “Trial” […]
JOINT INJECTIONS
Description: Joint Injections are used to deliver a mixture of corticosteroid medication and a local anesthetic into painful joints. Local anesthetic provides immediate pain relief, while corticosteroid medication decreases inflammation within the joint. Occasionally, Joint Injections need to be repeated to achieve durable pain relief. Conditions Treated: Joint Injections are commonly recommended for patients with […]
KNEE “GEL” INJECTIONS
Description: Knee “Gel” Injections are appropriate for patients who didn’t get sufficient knee pain relief following two knee steroid injections. Knee “Gel” Injections provide immediate lubrication and cushioning of the knee joint, alleviate knee pain, and enhance the natural ability of the knee to move smoothly. These injections can be repeated every 6 months. Conditions […]
SACROILIAC JOINT INJECTIONS AND FUSION
Description: Sacroiliac Joint injections are minimally invasive, quick, and highly effective procedures used to alleviate pain caused by disease, wear down, or inflammation of the sacroiliac joints. This procedure involves the injection of a local anesthetic directly into the sacroiliac joint. If two sacroiliac joint injections are successful at temporarily alleviating pain, then a Sacroiliac […]
