Epidural Steroid Injections

Epidural Steroid Injections (ESI) are performed to place anti-inflammatory medication (steroids) and local anesthetic in the epidural space to target irritated nerves and relieve pain. They are most commonly performed for patients with spine pain and radiating pain in the arms or legs.

Facet Joint Injections & Radiofrequency Ablation

The facet joints are small joints on the back of your spine and are found in all levels from your neck to your lower back. Facet joint pain is usually due to arthritis or degeneration of the joints. It is typically described as an ache that stays along the spine and is worse with prolonged sitting, standing or driving.

Joint Injections For Knee, Hip, & Shoulders

If you have joint pain due to osteoarthritis, your physician may recommend joint injections as part of your treatment plan. Injections of steroids and local anesthetic can provide good, lasting relief from pain arising from any peripheral joint,; including the knees, hips, shoulders and elbows.

Sacroiliac (si) Joint Injections And Radiofrequency Ablation

The sacroiliac joint (SIJ) is formed where your pelvic bones join to the base of the spine, or sacrum. This joint can be a source of pain like any other joint, and it may cause hip, low-back or buttock pain.

Spinal Cord Stimulation

Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) is an advanced procedure that has evolved in clinical use since the late 1960’s. It involves the placement of programmable electrodes into the epidural space where they emit signals to the spinal cord to mask pain signals.

Trigger Point Injections

This procedure, which does not require X-ray or ultrasound guidance, is for the treatment of painful areas of muscle tension or spasms. Muscle spasms in the neck, low or middle back can be quite painful and may persist for weeks to months.

Peripheral Nerve Stimulator (PNS) Implant 

A peripheral nerve stimulator (PNS) implant is a medical device that delivers electrical impulses to peripheral nerves, which are nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. It is used to treat chronic pain conditions that have not responded to other treatments.
