Treatment Options

What kind of pain treatment options do we use

Our goal is to create a program based upon listening to the patient that will result in real help and real healing. Our program utilizes physician-directed pain management and rehabilitation. Our multi-disciplinary treatment program utilizes pain blocks, medication management, and the latest pain management procedures along with physical and behavioral therapy to allow the patient to regain an enjoyable life.

Treatment options include:

Nerve Block Anesthesia which is injected near the inflamed nerve using fluoroscopy to decrease pain/inflamation.
Spinal Cord Stimulation SCS uses a small implanted device to generate tiny electrical pulses that replace the feeling of pain with a tingling or massaging sensation.
Implantable Drug Delivery System An implantable drug delivery system provides a way of delivering medication directly to your spinal cord, greatly reducing the amount of narcotics needed for pain relief.
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS or TeNS) is the popularized name for electrical stimulation produced by a portable stimulator and used to treat pain.
Injections An epidural steroid injection delivers steroids directly into the epidural space in the spine which reduces inflammation and pain.
Radiofrequency Neural Ablation This procedure is done by heating the nerve with an electrode placed near it to destroy the nerve.
Intrathecal Catheters The intrathecal catheter creates a pathway for medication flowing from a pump for delivery to the pain site.
