We have extensive in-house capabilities. Our team specializes in the following diagnostic and therapeutic procedures:

 

Conservative Therapy:

  • Physical therapy and occupational therapy
  • Psychological evaluation and management (e.g. biofeedback, coping mechanisms)
  • Use of noninvasive therapy (e.g. ice, heat, TENS, thermography)
  • Acupuncture

Medication Management:

  • Decrease patient’s use of narcotics
  • Improve patient’s ability to return to normal function and to return to work
  • Narcotic management of cancer and non-malignant pain

Minor Invasive Procedures:

  • Trigger point injections
  • Peripheral nerve blocks
  • Diagnostic procedures to determine the etiology of pain

Moderately Invasive Procedures:

  • Epidural nerve blocks
  • Stellate, ganglion, lumbar sympathetic, celiac plexus, hypogastric and impar ganglion block
  • Differential nerve blocks
  • Facet joint injections
  • Botulinum toxin injections
  • Isolated nerve root blocks

Major Invasive Procedures:

  • Radio-frequency ablation therapy
  • Neurolytic procedures
  • Referral to surgeons for placement of dorsal (spinal) column stimulators and generator placement of intrathecal catheters and implantable pumps for infusion
  • Reprogramming of dorsal column stimulators
  • Reprogramming and infusion of intrathecal infusion systems
