Unique Treatments
Deep Trigger Point Injections
Pain often stems from deep muscle trigger points, not discs. These spots mimic nerve pain and cause headaches, neck, or back pain. Pressure on them triggers local or referred pain elsewhere.
Medial Branch Nerve Blocks
Deep trigger points cause pain mimicking nerve issues. Medial branch nerve blocks diagnose and relieve facet joint pain temporarily. Effective cases may proceed to radiofrequency ablation for longer relief.
Radiofrequency Ablation of Medial Branch Nerves
RFA uses heat to disable nerves causing facet joint pain. It’s minimally invasive and offers relief for 6+ months. Done outpatient for chronic neck or back pain.
Endoscopic Rhizotomy of Medial Branch Nerves
Minimally invasive procedure using heat to disrupt medial branch nerves causing facet joint pain. Small incision, quick recovery, long-lasting relief.
Spinal Cord Stimulators
Implanted device sending electrical pulses to block pain signals. Used for chronic pain like neuropathy and radiculopathy. Minimally invasive, adjustable, reduces opioid need. Includes trial before permanent implant.
