Procedures
Epidural Steroid Injections
Epidural steroid injections are commonly used to treat radiating spine pain, including pain caused by herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and sciatica. By delivering anti-inflammatory medication near the affected nerve root, these injections can help reduce pain, numbness, and irritation in the neck, back, arms, or legs.
Spinal Injections
Spinal injections are used to target inflammation and pain in the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spine. They may help patients experiencing chronic back pain, neck pain, degenerative changes, or pain with movement that has not improved with rest, medications, or therapy alone.
Sympathetic Nerve Blocks
Sympathetic nerve blocks are used to interrupt pain signals traveling through the sympathetic nervous system. These procedures may be recommended for certain chronic pain conditions, nerve pain syndromes, or pain associated with changes in circulation, temperature, or sensitivity.
Joint Injections
Joint injections can be used to relieve pain and inflammation in areas such as the knee, shoulder, hip, or other painful joints. These treatments may include corticosteroid or other therapeutic injections and are often helpful for arthritis, overuse injuries, and joint irritation that limitsmobility.
Trigger Point Injections
Trigger point injections target tight, painful muscle knots that contribute to localized or referred pain. These injections may help relieve muscle tension, reduce discomfort, and improve movement when myofascial pain is limiting daily activity or training.
Peripheral Nerve Blocks
Peripheral nerve blocks deliver medication around a specific nerve to reduce pain coming from a focused region of the body. These treatments may be useful for nerve irritation, post-injury pain, or pain patterns that can be traced to a particular peripheral nerve.
Radiofrequency Ablation / Neuroablation
Radiofrequency ablation, also called neuroablation, uses targeted energy to disrupt pain signals from irritated nerves. It is often considered for patients with longer-standing pain who have responded well to diagnostic blocks and want a non-surgical option for more durable relief.
