Conditions We Treat
We treat a wide variety of common conditions, including acute and chronic neck pain, acute and chronic low back pain, post laminectomy syndrome, and sciatica. Our team of experts has the expertise and experience to diagnose and treat even the most complex cases. We take a holistic approach to patient care, focusing on the whole person, not just the condition.
Acute and Chronic Neck Pain: Neck pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including injury, degenerative conditions, and pinched nerves. Our team uses the latest diagnostic techniques to identify the root cause of your pain and create a customized treatment plan to alleviate your discomfort.
Acute and Chronic Low Back Pain: Back pain and discomfort is the most common reason patients seek pain specialists. Our team of experts has the expertise and experience to diagnose and treat even the most complex cases of low back pain. We use a combination of treatments, including physical therapy, medication, and minimally invasive procedures, to help our patients find relief.
Post Laminectomy Syndrome: Laminectomies relieve vertebral stress by safely removing a portion of the affected vertebrae. However, some patients may experience ongoing pain after the procedure. Our team of experts has the expertise and experience to diagnose and treat post laminectomy syndrome and help our patients find relief.
Sciatica: Sciatica is characterized by low back pain that may also be felt in the hips, buttocks, and down the back of the legs. Our team of experts has the expertise and experience to diagnose and treat sciatica using the latest techniques and treatments.
Treatments We Offer
We offer a wide variety of common treatments, including celiac plexus block, coordinated physical therapy, epidural steroid injection, and discography. Our team of experts has the expertise and experience to deliver these treatments safely and effectively, helping our patients find relief from their pain.
Celiac Plexus Block: The celiac plexus is a network of nerves that delivers sensation to the abdominal area. A celiac plexus block is a procedure that involves injecting medication near these nerves to alleviate pain.
Coordinated Physical Therapy: We use a multidisciplinary approach to pain management to give our patients the best combination of care. Coordinated physical therapy is a key component of our treatment plans, helping our patients regain strength, flexibility, and mobility.
Epidural Steroid Injection: The word "epidural" is common language that describes both an anatomical structure and the common procedure of placing a steroid injection in the epidural space. An epidural steroid injection can help alleviate pain by reducing inflammation in the affected area.
Discography: A discography is a non-surgical diagnostic procedure done to identify damaged intervertebral discs. This procedure can help our team of experts diagnose the root cause of your pain and create a customized treatment plan to alleviate your discomfort.
