Procedures
Medical Branch Blocks
A medial branch block is a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure that involves injecting a local anesthetic near the medial branch nerves, which are small nerves that supply the facet joints in the spine.
Radiofrequency Ablations
(Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar, and Knee)
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive medical procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to destroy or numb nerve tissue and relieve chronic pain.
SI Joint Fusions
SI joint fusion is a surgical procedure that involves fusing the two bones of the SI joint, located at the bottom of the spine where it meets the pelvis. This procedure is typically performed to relieve chronic pain and instability in the SI joint.
Sacroiliac Joint Injections
A sacroiliac joint injection is an injection of local anesthetic and a steroid medication into the sacroiliac joint.
Transforaminal Epidural
Steroid Injections
(Cervical, Thoracic, and Lumbar)
A transforaminal epidural steroid injection involves injecting pain-relieving corticosteroid medications directly into your epidural space.
Facet Joint Injections
(Cervical, Thoracic, and Lumbar)
Facet joint injections are a medical procedure used to treat chronic pain in the neck (cervical spine) or lower back (lumbar spine). They involve injecting a mixture of anesthetic and steroid medication into the facet joints, which are small joints located between the vertebrae.
Genicular Nerve Blocks
(Superior Medial, Superior Lateral, and Inferior Medial)
Genicular nerve blocks are a type of nerve block that provide pain relief for knee pain. They involve injecting a local anesthetic into the genicular nerves, which are branches of the sciatic nerve that supply sensation to the knee joint.
Occipital Nerve Blocks
Occipital nerve blocks are a medical procedure that involves injecting a mixture of local anesthetic and steroid medication around the occipital nerves, which run from the back of the neck to the back of the head. This procedure is used to relieve pain, inflammation, and numbness in the occipital region.
Intrathecal Pump Implants
An intrathecal pump implant is a surgical procedure that delivers pain medication directly into the fluid surrounding the spinal cord (intrathecal space). This method can provide effective pain relief for chronic conditions that have not responded to other treatments.
