We use minimally invasive interventional procedures for effective and immediate pain control. Some of these procedures also assist in diagnosing pain-causing diseases. These procedures include:

• Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty for vertebral fracture caused by osteoporosis, malignancy and pathologic fractures.
• Spinal cord stimulator implantation at cervical, thoracic and lumbar spines for neuropathic pain, radiculopathy, failed back pain syndrome, ischemic pain syndrome, neuropathy and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).
• Dorsal Root Ganglion spinal cord stimulator implantation to target specific nerves that could be causing neuropathic pain, causalgia and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)
• Intrathecal pump implantation for treating intractable pain.
• Discography (discograms) for diagnostic purposes at cervical, thoracic and lumbar spines.
• Radiofrequency ablation treatment for prolonged pain relief.
• Epidural steroid injections via interlaminar and transforaminal approaches at cervical, thoracic and lumbosacral spines.
• Selective spinal and peripheral nerve blocks for diagnosis of pain sources.
• Cervical, thoracic and lumbar facet injections and median branch nerve blocks.
• Various sympathetic nerve blocks for sympathetic meditated pain syndromes, including CRPS. Such as stellate ganglion block, lumbar sympathetic block and ganglion impar block.
• Sacroiliac joint injection and sacral nerve block for sacral pain.
• Automatic nerve blocks for visceral pain, such as upper and lower abdominal pain and pelvic pain.
• Trigger point injection and Botox injection for various muscular painful diseases.
• Peripheral nerve blocks and Botox injection for chronic headache.
• Peripheral joint injections for arthritis and painful joints using steroids and or hyaluronic acid.
• Regenerative medicine such as (PRP) platelet rich plasma and stem cell a form of regenerative medicine that harnesses and amplifies the natural growth factors found in our blood cells to help heal damaged tissue.
• Intracept is a minimally invasive procedure, that ablates basivertebral nerve, a specific nerve within the vertebra that causes chronic low back pain.
• MILD procedure a minimally invasive treatment option to remove excess ligament tissue and restore space in the spinal canal for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis.
• Vertiflex minimally invasive procedure for lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication.
• SI Fusion minimally invasive SI joint procedure to relieve sacroiliac joint pain.

We also use comprehensive medical management for all pain syndromes. We use a variety of pain medications, such as oral, topical and IV pain medications to manage pain-causing diseases. These include NSAIDs, opioids, muscle relaxants and anti-anxiety medications, neuropathic pain medications, antidepressants, sleep medications, and steroids.

We provide prompt in-patient services including a comprehensive exam and treatment of painful conditions at all local hospitals.
