Selective Epidural Injections - This procedure places anti-inflammatory medication into the spine to decrease inflammation of the nerve roots. This treatment is used for spinal stenosis, disk herniation or degenerative disk disease.

Selective Nerve Root Blocks - These blocks are used to diagnose the specific source of nerve root pain and also for relief of low back pain and/or leg pain.

Facet Injections - These have a diagnostic benefit as well as therapeutic benefit. They can numb the source of pain and soothe the inflammation.

Caudal Adhesionolysis of Scar Tissue - This procedure alleviates pain by breaking up scar tissue to free entrapped nerves.

Atlanto-occipital and Atlanto-axial Joint injections - These injections are performed into the uppermost portion of the spine to treat and diagnose headaches and neck pain.

Nucleoplasty Percutaneous Disc Decompression - This procedure is used for herniated disks which have not responded to epidural injections. The size of the bulge in the disk is reduced, therefore relieving the pressure inside the disk and on the nerves, thus relieving the symptoms.

Trigger Point Injections/Botox Injections - These can be used to treat
extremely painful areas of muscle and are used to treat myofascial pain syndrome that does not respond to other treatment. Botox injections can be used to treat severe muscle spasms which are extremely painful.

Radiofrequency Neurotomy - A type of injection procedure in which a heat lesion is created on certain nerves with the goal of interrupting the pain signals to the brain, thus eliminating pain.

Sympathetic Blocks - Used in the treatment of reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD).

Discography - A procedure used to identify the painful disk. The physician pierces the disk and injects a contrast dye. An X-ray will show if the dye enters the surrounding tissue. This procedure provokes pain in an injured disk providing your physician with information needed for diagnosis disk

IDET (Intradiscal Electrothermal Annuloplasty) - This treatment is used for problems resulting from disks (discogenic pain). After discography is performed to pinpoint the painful disk, high heat is applied directly to the disk, therefore decreasing the pain by various mechanisms.

Spinal Cord Stimulators - Introduce low levels of electrical current to block the sensation of pain. This is used to treat failed back surgery syndrome or radiculopathy (sciatica or leg pain)

Intrathecal Pumps - Delivers pain medication directly into the intrathecal space around the spinal cord via a pump implanted during surgery. They are used primarily to treat chronic pain.
