What's My Speciality
Our team includes experienced and energetic people whose goal is to communicate well with our patients and provide the best care possible.
Stem Cell Treatment
Stem cell treatment is a medical procedure that uses stem cells to repair or replace damaged tissues. These cells can develop into various cell types, making them essential for regenerative medicine. It's used to treat conditions like spinal cord injuries, neurodegenerative diseases, certain cancers, and chronic conditions. Stem cells are typically harvested from the patient's bone marrow, fat tissue, or blood, then injected into the affected area. Potential risks include infection, immune rejection, and tumor formation, but the benefits can include tissue regeneration and improved function and quality of life.


Injections for Knee Pain
Injections for knee pain are treatments where medications are directly injected into the knee joint to alleviate pain and inflammation. Common types include corticosteroid injections, which reduce inflammation, and hyaluronic acid injections, which lubricate the joint to improve mobility. Other options include platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell injections, which aim to promote healing and tissue regeneration. These injections can provide significant relief for conditions like osteoarthritis and tendinitis, offering an alternative to oral medications or surgery.
Analgesic Discograms
Analgesic discograms are diagnostic procedures used to identify painful spinal discs. During the procedure, a contrast dye is injected into the discs of the spine, and the patient's pain response is observed. This helps pinpoint the exact source of back pain, aiding in the diagnosis of conditions like degenerative disc disease. The information gathered from a discogram can assist doctors in planning effective treatment strategies, such as surgery or targeted therapies.


Diagnostic Facet Injections
Diagnostic facet injections are used to determine if the facet joints in the spine are the source of a patient's back or neck pain. During the procedure, a small amount of anesthetic is injected into the facet joints or the surrounding nerves. If the patient experiences significant pain relief, it indicates that the facet joints are likely the cause of the pain. This information helps guide further treatment options, such as radiofrequency ablation or physical therapy.
Epidural Steroid Injections
Epidural steroid injections are used to alleviate pain and inflammation in the spine. These injections deliver a combination of corticosteroids and anesthetic directly into the epidural space around the spinal nerves. They are commonly used to treat conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and sciatica. The anti-inflammatory effects can provide significant pain relief and improve mobility, making these injections a valuable option for managing chronic back and leg pain.


Intra-articular Joint Injections
Intra-articular joint injections involve injecting medication directly into a joint to reduce pain and inflammation. These injections often contain corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid, or other therapeutic substances. They are commonly used to treat arthritis, bursitis, and other joint-related conditions. By targeting the affected joint, these injections can provide significant pain relief, improve mobility, and help patients manage chronic joint pain effectively.
Genicular Nerve Blocks
Genicular nerve blocks are used to relieve chronic knee pain by targeting the genicular nerves, which transmit pain signals from the knee. During the procedure, an anesthetic is injected near these nerves to block pain signals. This treatment is often used for patients with osteoarthritis or those who have persistent knee pain after surgery. The relief can help improve function and quality of life, and it may also be a precursor to more permanent treatments like radiofrequency ablation.


Medial Branch Nerve Blocks
Medial branch nerve blocks are used to diagnose and relieve pain originating from the facet joints in the spine. During the procedure, an anesthetic is injected near the medial branch nerves that supply the facet joints. If the injection provides significant pain relief, it confirms that the facet joints are the source of the pain. This information can guide further treatment options, such as radiofrequency ablation, and help manage chronic back pain more effectively.
Non-narcotic Medication Management
Non-narcotic medication management involves using medications that do not include narcotics to manage pain and other symptoms. These medications may include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), acetaminophen, and certain antidepressants or anticonvulsants used for pain relief. This approach aims to control pain while minimizing the risk of addiction and side effects associated with narcotic medications. It is often used as part of a comprehensive pain management plan, especially for chronic conditions.


Personal Injury Evaluation And Treatment
Personal injury evaluation and treatment involve assessing and managing injuries sustained from accidents or trauma. This process typically includes a thorough medical examination to diagnose injuries, such as soft tissue damage, fractures, or concussions. Treatment may involve a combination of physical therapy, medications, and other interventions to aid recovery and alleviate pain. The goal is to address immediate health concerns, manage symptoms effectively, and support long-term recovery and rehabilitation.
Spinal Cord Stimulator
A spinal cord stimulator procedure involves implanting a device to help manage chronic pain. During the procedure, electrodes are placed near the spinal cord and connected to a pulse generator, which sends electrical impulses to disrupt pain signals. This can reduce pain and improve function for conditions like failed back surgery syndrome. The procedure includes a trial phase to test effectiveness before permanent implantation, with ongoing adjustments to optimize pain relief.


Vertiflex Procedure
The Vertiflex Procedure is a minimally invasive treatment for lumbar spinal stenosis. It involves inserting the Superion Interspinous Spacer between the vertebrae to alleviate pressure on the spinal nerves. This spacer helps to maintain the proper spacing between vertebrae, reducing pain and improving mobility with less risk and recovery time compared to traditional surgery.
