Our Interventional Pain Management Services
Our Double Board-Certified pain management doctors are on the cutting edge of medical research for pain treatment and prevention.
Chronic Pain
Back Pain Treatment
Arthritis
Inflammation of the joints, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Nerve Pain
Resulting from nerve irritation or damage caused by conditions and injuries, including diabetes, shingles, and HIV, or from physical trauma, infections, or medications.
Our pain management specialists are pioneers in interventional pain management, consistently integrating the latest research into patient care.
Pain Management
Acute Pain
Acute pain is typically short-term and often results from injury, surgery, or a specific medical condition. It serves as a warning signal that something is wrong in the body and usually resolves as the underlying cause heals.
Chronic Pain
Chronic pain persists for longer periods, often beyond the expected time of healing. It can result from various conditions such as arthritis, nerve damage, or spinal disorders. Chronic pain can significantly impact daily activities and mental health.
Neuropathic Pain
Neuropathic pain arises from damage or dysfunction of the nervous system. Conditions like diabetic neuropathy, sciatica, and post-herpetic neuralgia are common causes. This type of pain can be sharp, burning, or shooting in nature
Joint Pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
Joint Pain
Osteoarthritis
The most common form of arthritis, osteoarthritis, occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of your bones wears down over time.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
An autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation in the joints, leading to painful swelling and potential joint deformity.
Bursitis
Inflammation of the bursae, the small sacs of fluid that cushion the bones, tendons, and muscles near your joints.
Back pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
Back Pain
Muscle Strain
Overuse, lifting heavy objects, or sudden movements can strain the muscles and ligaments in the back.
Herniated or Bulging Discs
Discs act as cushions between the vertebrae. When they become damaged, they can press on nerves, causing pain.
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis can affect the lower back, leading to pain and stiffness.
Automobile accidents can lead to a range of injuries, with spinal injuries being
among the most serious and complex.
Automobile Accidents
Whiplash
A common result of rear-end collisions, whiplash occurs when the neck is suddenly jolted back and forth, leading to strain and injury of the muscles, ligaments, and tendons in the neck.
Herniated Discs
The impact from an accident can cause the discs in your spine to herniate or rupture, resulting in severe pain, numbness, and weakness in the arms or legs.
Spinal Fractures
High-impact collisions can lead to fractures in the vertebrae, which may require immediate medical attention and possibly surgery.
Our Double Board-Certified physicians lead advancements in pain medicine to effectively manage and prevent chronic lower back pain.
Lower Back Pain
Lumbar Spine
Severe lower back pain can be debilitating, with many possible contributing factors.
Common Conditions
Herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, facet joint dysfunction, failed back surgery, and sacroiliac joint issues are all common culprits. Sometimes, the cause is a traumatic injury, while in other cases, it’s the gradual wear and tear of everyday life.
Our Procedures
Our pain management specialists use image-guided procedures to deliver targeted relief without major surgery. These techniques are designed to reduce pain at the source, whether it’s caused by inflammation, nerve irritation, or structural issues in the joints or spine.
- Spinal Cord Stimulation involves implanting a device that sends electrical pulses to the spinal cord to mask pain signals before they reach the brain. It is used for chronic nerve pain, including failed back surgery syndrome and complex regional pain syndrome. A trial period precedes permanent implantation to ensure effectiveness.
- Sacroiliac Joint Fusion is used for patients with chronic SI joint pain that has not improved with conservative treatments. The procedure involves placing implants across the SI joint to stabilize it and reduce pain. Our back pain doctor creates a small incision to do this, which often leads to improved mobility and function.
- Intracept Procedure targets chronic low back pain caused by degeneration in the vertebral endplates. It works by ablating the basivertebral nerve, which transmits pain from the spine.
- Kyphoplasty is used to stabilize compression fractures in the spine that are often caused by osteoporosis. The procedure restores vertebral height and relieves pressure with minimal downtime.
Our approach often includes interventional pain management, such as guided injections, radiofrequency ablation, or neuromodulation. These treatments are designed to reduce pain at its source, not simply cover it up. If ongoing pain is interfering with your sleep and daily life,
it’s time to do something about it.
Our chronic pain specialists also offer epidural steroid injections for cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine issues. These interlaminar or transforaminal treatments reduce inflammation and relieve radiating pain from disc herniations or nerve impingement. Sympathetic nerve blocks, trigger point injections, and intra-articular joint injections are also available to calm overactive nerves and treat localized musculoskeletal and joint pain.
Our Strategies to Manage Pain
Every patient’s wellness journey is unique. Our pain management clinics are focused on building strategies that not only reduce pain but also improve long-term function and quality of life. Our treatment plans combine multiple approaches that can be customized to meet the needs of our patients.
We start with a thorough evaluation to assess our patients’ needs and how chronic pain affects their movement, sleep, work, and quality of life. From there, we recommend a combination of interventional pain management techniques and non-invasive therapies. These can include physical therapy coordination, lifestyle guidance, and advanced procedures like nerve blocks and joint injections.
When appropriate, we provide medication management, but this is often not our first course of action. Our goal is to minimize reliance on medication by offering targeted, long-term pain relief strategies. We work closely with patients to provide long-term plans to prevent flare-ups and setbacks. Whether your pain is new or chronic, our care team will be there to walk you through what to expect. We can help you take back control of your health and wellness, one step at a time.

Client Testimonials
These are the only doctors that have ever taken my pain seriously. I spent 5 years undiagnosed and 9 years in excruciating pain. I didn't want to be alive anymore(im good now so dont worry) None of my previous doctors believed me and refused to even order me an MRI. They thought I was exaggerating because "youre too young to be in that much pain" or they accused me of wanting drugs. One doctor even told me I was just too fat and…

This is a new review after another good experience with these guys just yesterday.

Once again I am very pleased with the results. I've never had a bad experience with anyone who works here or any of their other locations. A specific nurse yesterday was very encouraging and helpful when I needed…
