Treatments

The full interventional toolkit, chosen for you

We offer advanced treatments designed to provide lasting relief and improve your quality of life. Every plan is tailored — the right procedure, at the right time, for the right diagnosis.

01 — Treatment

Epidural Steroid Injections

An epidural steroid injection delivers anti-inflammatory medication directly to the space around irritated spinal nerves — calming the inflammation that drives back pain, neck pain, and pain that radiates down an arm or leg.

What to expect

02 — Treatment

Radiofrequency Ablation

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) uses precisely delivered heat to quiet the small sensory nerves that transmit pain from arthritic joints in the spine, knees, and hips — often providing 6–24 months of relief.

What to expect

03 — Treatment

Spinal Cord Stimulation

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) uses gentle electrical impulses to interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain. You trial the therapy for a week before committing — if it doesn't help, nothing permanent has been done.

What to expect

04 — Treatment

Nerve Blocks

A nerve block places local anesthetic (often with anti-inflammatory medication) directly at the nerve carrying your pain — both to relieve it and to pinpoint its exact source.

What to expect

05 — Treatment

Trigger Point Injections

Trigger points are tight, irritable bands of muscle that refer pain across the neck, shoulders, and back. A precise injection releases the knot and breaks the pain cycle — often on the first visit.

What to expect

06 — Treatment

Intrathecal Drug Delivery

An intrathecal pump delivers micro-doses of medication directly into the spinal fluid — powerful relief at a fraction of the oral dose, without the systemic side effects of high-dose oral medication.
