Ketamine Infusions
delivery of an anesthetic drug intravenously to block the NMDA receptors to “reboot” pain receptors that are functioning abnormally in chronic pain syndromes. It is also used for depression.
Joint Injections
use a combination of numbing and steroid medication to relieve pain from an injury, arthritis, tendonitis, and more.
Interspinous Spacer (The Vertiflex Procedure with Superion)
is a minimally invasive treatment for lumbar spinal stenosis that results in decompression of the spinal nerves.
Facet Block/Medial Branch Nerve Block
is a diagnostic procedure to determine if a patient’s neck or back pain is coming from the facet joints or arthritis. It is used primarily to determine if a patient is a candidate for radiofrequency ablation, but it itself can also provide long-term relief. It involves injecting a numbing agent using an x-ray into or around the facet joints.
Epidural Steroid Injections
involves injection of a steroid medication using an x-ray around the spinal discs and nerves to reduce pain and inflammation while increasing function and mobility.
Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) Stimulation
is a form of neurostimulation for treating more focal areas of pain, such as the knees, ankles/feet, groin, or pelvis.
Basivertebral Nerve Ablation (The Intracept Procedure)
is a minimally invasive treatment for chronic low back pain due to degenerative disc disease that blocks pain signals coming from the disc and vertebrae.
