Personalized Pain Management Services

Pain may come from an irritated nerve, inflamed joint, damaged disc, arthritis, or another underlying condition. Because similar symptoms can have different causes, an accurate diagnosis is essential.

Depending on your condition, treatment may help:

Reduce inflammation
Interrupt pain signals
Relieve pressure on spinal nerves
Improve mobility and function
Make daily activities and rehabilitation more comfortable

Our Pain Management Procedures

Nerve Blocks

Nerve Blocks
Nerve blocks are targeted injections placed near specific nerves to reduce pain signals. They may also help identify which nerve is causing symptoms.

Epidural Steroid Injections

Epidural Steroid Injections
Epidural steroid injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication near irritated spinal nerves. They are commonly used for conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica, and cervical or lumbar radiculopathy.

Radiofrequency Ablation

Radiofrequency Ablation Radiofrequency ablation uses controlled energy to reduce pain signals from selected nerves. It is often used for chronic neck or lower back pain caused by facet joints.

Major Joint Injections

Major Joint Injections
Major joint injections deliver medication directly into painful joints such as the shoulder, hip, or knee. They may reduce inflammation, improve movement, and relieve pain.

Medial Branch Blocks and Facet Joint Injections

Medial Branch Blocks and Facet Joint Injections
These injections target painful facet joints or the nerves that carry pain signals from them. They may also help determine whether radiofrequency ablation is appropriate.

Percutaneous Discectomy

Percutaneous Discectomy Percutaneous discectomy removes a small amount of disc material to reduce pressure on a nearby nerve. It may be used for certain contained herniated discs.

Rhizotomy

Rhizotomy
A rhizotomy interrupts selected nerve fibers that transmit chronic pain signals. It may be considered for persistent neck or back pain when the affected nerves have been identified.

Cervical or lumbar radiculopathy
Facet joint pain

A diagnosis does not automatically mean that a procedure is necessary. Recommendations are based on each patient’s evaluation and treatment history.

Neck and Lower Back Pain Treatment

Neck and lower back pain can result from irritated nerves, inflamed facet joints, disc problems, arthritis, spinal stenosis, or injury. Some symptoms remain localized, while others travel into the shoulders, arms, hips, or legs.

Depending on the cause, treatment may include epidural steroid injections, medial branch blocks, facet joint injections, radiofrequency ablation, or other targeted procedures. Our goal is to identify the source of the pain and recommend care that supports better movement, comfort, and function.

What to Expect

Your evaluation may include a review of your symptoms, medical history, previous treatments, physical function, and available imaging. When needed, diagnostic injections may be used to help isolate the source of pain.

After the evaluation, your provider will explain the findings and discuss appropriate options. Your plan may include an interventional procedure, medication management, rehabilitation, lifestyle recommendations, or a combination of treatments.
