Pain Management
Pain Management
Chronic pain can make even the simplest tasks hard to endure. We are dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of pain, including musculoskeletal, neurological, and cancer-related pain. Interventional pain management addresses pain directly from the source rather than relying solely on prescription pain medication. Patients can be treated with many different procedures – all minimally invasive and performed with X-ray and/or ultrasound guidance. Treatments include long-lasting nerve blocks, radiofrequency, and spinal cord stimulators.
We also have expertise in regenerative medicine techniques, including stem cell therapy (SCT) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections. These leading-edge technologies involve injecting damaged tissue with a patient’s own stem cells or plasma. While the new cells adapt to their environment, they repair damage in the process. Many of these techniques offer relief for patients with chronic pain who have not responded to traditional treatment. Our goal is to return our patients to their everyday activities quickly, decrease their need for medication, and improve their overall quality of life.
