Epidural Steroid Injection
Epidural steroid injections are minimally invasive medical procedures used to alleviate pain and inflammation in the spine. They involve the injection of corticosteroid medication directly into the epidural space around the spinal cord and nerves. These injections are commonly prescribed to provide relief from conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and radiculopathy, helping patients manage chronic back or neck pain.
Facet Injections and Rhizotomy
Facet injections diagnose and relieve spine facet joint pain caused by conditions like arthritis. A local anesthetic and corticosteroid are injected into the joint to reduce pain and inflammation, offering temporary relief. If effective, Rhizotomy follows, using heat radiofrequency to disrupt pain signal transmission for long-lasting relief.
Spinal Cord Stimulation
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a medical procedure that involves the implantation of a small device, often called a spinal cord stimulator, under the skin of the back. It delivers electrical pulses to the spinal cord, effectively blocking pain signals and providing relief for individuals with chronic pain conditions, such as neuropathy or failed back surgery syndrome. SCS can help improve pain management and enhance the quality of life for those who have not found relief through other treatments.
Sympathetic Block
Sympathetic blocks are specialized nerve block injections that target the sympathetic nervous system, aiming to reduce pain and swelling in affected areas. These blocks can diagnose or treat conditions like complex regional pain syndrome and vascular insufficiency, providing relief by interrupting the pain signals sent through the sympathetic nerves.
Joint Injections
Joint injections are medical procedures where medication is administered directly into a joint to alleviate pain and inflammation. Fluoroscopic injections involve the use of fluoroscopy—a type of medical imaging that shows a continuous X-ray image on a monitor—to guide the needle into the precise location, ensuring accuracy and maximizing therapeutic outcomes. We specialize in injections of all the joints in the body including Knee, Elbow, shoulder ankle, sacroiliac joint.
