Nerve blocks offer a significant method for managing pain by delivering medication directly to the nerve suspected of causing pain and interrupting pain signals before they reach the brain, acting as a pause on chronic discomfort. This technique opens the door to non-surgical treatment options, allowing for a collaborative approach to long-term relief between patients and their pain management doctors. It underscores a commitment to compassionate and professional patient care, prioritizing well-being and guiding individuals back to their preferred lifestyle.

Spinal cord stimulation involves the delicate placement of a tiny wire beneath the skin—a minimally invasive procedure aimed at amplifying your comfort. The wire, connected to a power source, emits gentle electrical impulses to your spinal cord or specific nerves. This method is finely tuned for one goal: to prevent pain signals from reaching your brain, offering you relief from chronic pain.

Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) is a minimally invasive pain management method. The Sprint PNS System uses a thin wire, called a "lead", attached to a small wearable device to deliver gentle electrical pulses to specific nerves. Using a small needle in an outpatient procedure, the lead is inserted into the treated area to deliver electrical signals to specific nerves, producing a mild tingling to block pain.

At the heart of our practice lies a commitment to compassionate, patient-focused care, and this is evident in our MILD (Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression) procedure. Designed to treat lumbar spinal stenosis, MILD strategically alleviates nerve pressure, restoring harmony to the spinal canal with minimal damage to surrounding tissues.

Conducted as an outpatient procedure, patients often experience immediate symptom relief and can return to the comfort of their homes the same day. As a less invasive yet effective alternative to traditional surgical treatments, MILD significantly reduces the risk of complications, eliminating the need for general anesthesia, implants, or stitches. Trust our commitment to caring, patient-centered healthcare that revolves around your well-being and excellent orthopedic experiences.

Compassionate care drives us to introduce the Intracept procedure, a minimally invasive treatment devised specifically to tackle chronic low back pain rooted in degenerative disc disease. This innovative approach focuses on the basivertebral nerve, a suspected chronic pain generator for many patients. Using specialized equipment under X-ray guidance, we skillfully ablate this nerve within the spinal vertebral body.

While initial discomfort post-procedure is anticipated, patients report substantial pain relief within weeks, progressively improving over months. The Intracept procedure is an optimal solution for patients seeking relief beyond conservative treatments but wanting to sidestep major surgery, all while maintaining the integrity of your spine’s structure.

The Minuteman® is a device designed for minimally-invasive fusion and stabilization of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine areas. It connects to the back part of the spine's spinous processes, is not connected to the neck, is held in place with fixation plates, and is meant to hold bone graft material inside.

This device offers spinal segment stabilization and immobilization. Its threaded core post ensures precise positioning, and its variety of sizes guarantees a better fit for each patient’s individual anatomy.

Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to treat vertebral compression fractures. By stabilizing the fractured vertebrae, it not only alleviates pain but also restores the spine's natural height.

The procedure employs specialized balloons to create space, which is then filled with bone cement for stabilization. This method is particularly beneficial for patients suffering from painful vertebral compression fractures, offering them relief and improved posture.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a key treatment for chronic pain, especially when it comes from arthritis in the spine or joint pain that has not responded to other treatments like steroid injections. In RFA, specialists place special needles near the problem nerves and use radio waves to heat the area. This heat blocks the pain signals temporarily, providing relief. During the procedure, the physician use fluoroscopy to make sure they put the needles in exactly the right place. RFA offers new hope for people with ongoing pain, helping them regain comfort and function in their daily lives.

Genicular nerve ablation procedure is a breakthrough technique that offers a minimally invasive, effective solution for individuals grappling with the chronic pain of knee osteoarthritis. Our top priority is your comfort, so we utilize advanced technology to target and disrupt pain signals from the knee joint, resulting in significant discomfort reduction and enhanced mobility.

Under our care, patients can anticipate not only improved joint function but also an excellent healthcare experience and superior quality of life. With shorter recovery times than traditional surgeries, Genicular nerve ablation is a testament to our dedication to providing compassionate, patient-focused care.

Epidural steroid injections involve the careful injection of a steroid medication into the epidural space in the spine, an area that encompasses the spinal cord and nerves. The primary aim is to alleviate pain and inflammation that may be causing discomfort or limiting mobility. By delivering the medication directly to the source of the pain, it can provide targeted relief and help you return to your daily activities with less discomfort.

Facet joint injections are a proven, effective treatment to help manage pain and inflammation in your spine. This procedure involves the careful administration of a steroid medication directly into the facet joints, which are the small joints located between each set of vertebrae in your spine. This targeted approach can provide significant relief from pain, helping you on your journey toward improved wellness and a more comfortable daily life.

Sacroiliac joint injections are a valuable treatment specifically designed to alleviate pain and inflammation in the sacroiliac joints located in your lower back. During this procedure, we precisely administer a steroid medication into the affected joint, targeting the root cause of your lower back pain. This focused approach can significantly ease your pain, improve mobility, and enhance your overall quality of life.
