Epidural Steroid Injection

An Epidural Steroid Injection is a minimally invasive treatment used to relieve back, neck, and nerve pain by reducing inflammation around the spinal nerves. The medication is precisely injected into the epidural space to help ease pain that may radiate into the arms or legs. This procedure can improve mobility and comfort, allowing patients to better participate in daily activities and physical therapy.

SI Joint Injection

An SI Joint Injection is a targeted, minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and relieve pain originating from the sacroiliac joint. Anti-inflammatory medication is injected directly into the joint to reduce inflammation and improve lower back, hip, or leg pain. This treatment can help restore mobility and provide lasting relief when conservative therapies are ineffective.

Facet Joint Injections

Facet joint injections offer an opportunity to provide long term relief to the rising number of people experiencing pain due to arthritic changes in the facet joints. Facet joint syndrome is very common in patients over 60 year of age. It is also frequently seen in people who sustain trauma such as those involved in motor vehicle accidents.

Radiofrequency ablation is used independently or in combination with other pain management procedures to ensure prolonged pain relief. It helps minimize pain in the cervical and lumbar spine if you have a positive response to either medial branch blocks or facet injections. It is a minimally invasive procedure that is typically, accepted by most insurance companies as a way to manage painful conditions.

Trigger Point Injections

Trigger Point Injections are a minimally invasive treatment used to relieve muscle pain caused by tight knots or trigger points.

This procedure can provide quick relief, restore mobility, and help reduce chronic muscle discomfort.

Perineural Injection Therapy

Perineural Injection Therapy (PIT) was developed by New Zealander Dr. John Lyftogt. It is a safe and effective treatment for painful conditions arising from the musculoskeletal system.

This type of pain is typically due to an injured and non-healing sensory nerve causing pain, inflammation and delayed healing.
