Services
Sciatica Treatment
Our sciatica treatment targets nerve compression causing radiating pain, numbness, and tingling in the lower back and legs. Using advanced imaging and minimally invasive techniques like epidural steroid injections, we reduce inflammation and alleviate pressure on the sciatic nerve. Patients benefit from personalized care plans combining physical therapy and interventional procedures for long-term relief.
Arthritis Relief
We specialize in managing osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis through targeted interventions like viscosupplementation and platelet-rich plasma therapy. Our approach focuses on restoring joint function and reducing inflammation without surgery. Patients receive comprehensive care plans integrating lifestyle modifications and pain management strategies tailored to their specific condition.
Spinal Cord Stimulation
This implantable device delivers electrical impulses to interrupt pain signals in chronic conditions like failed back surgery syndrome. Our specialists conduct thorough evaluations to determine candidacy and provide trial stimulation before permanent placement. The therapy offers significant pain reduction for patients unresponsive to traditional treatments.
Botox Injections
We use FDA-approved Botox injections to treat chronic migraines, cervical dystonia, and myofascial pain by blocking nerve signals causing muscle contractions. The non-invasive procedure provides relief lasting up to three months, with effects typically noticeable within days. Patients receive precise dosing tailored to their pain patterns and muscle groups affected.
Radiofrequency Ablation
This procedure uses heat to disrupt pain signal transmission in targeted nerves, offering lasting relief for conditions like facet joint arthritis. Our specialists employ real-time imaging to ensure accurate electrode placement. Patients typically experience pain reduction lasting six months to a year, with repeat treatments available as needed.
