Common Procedures

Common Procedures

Our procedures are selected based on each patient’s condition, symptoms, physical examination, and diagnostic findings.

Ultrasound-Guided Trigger Point Injections

These injections are used to treat sensitive or contracted areas of muscle known as trigger points. Ultrasound guidance helps the physician visualize the surrounding anatomy and accurately guide the procedure.

Lumbar Medial Branch Block

A diagnostic and therapeutic procedure used to determine whether the lumbar facet joints may be contributing to a patient’s back pain.

Lumbar Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

Radiofrequency energy is used to interrupt pain signals from selected nerves associated with the lumbar facet joints.

Cervical Medial Branch Block

This procedure is used to determine whether specific facet joints in the cervical spine are contributing to neck pain.

Cervical Radiofrequency Ablation

Radiofrequency treatment may be used in selected patients to reduce pain signals transmitted by nerves associated with the cervical facet joints.

Sacroiliac Joint Injection

Medication is injected into the sacroiliac joint to help diagnose or treat pain originating from this area.

Lumbar Transforaminal Epidural Injection

Medication is delivered near a specific lumbar nerve root. This procedure may be used for certain cases of radiculopathy, herniated discs, or radiating leg pain.

Lumbar Facet Joint Injection

Medication is injected directly into the facet joints of the lumbar spine for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.

Caudal Epidural Injection

Medication is administered into the epidural space through the lower portion of the spinal canal. It may be used for certain types of lower back pain or radiating nerve pain.

Thoracic Medial Branch Block

A procedure used to evaluate whether the facet joints of the thoracic spine are contributing to a patient’s pain.

Thoracic Radiofrequency Ablation

Radiofrequency energy is applied to selected nerves in the thoracic region to reduce the transmission of certain pain signals.

Cervical Epidural Injection

Medication is administered into the epidural space of the cervical spine. The procedure may be performed at levels such as C6-C7 or C7-T1 when clinically appropriate.

Regenerative Medicine With Plasma

Plasma-based treatments, including platelet-derived therapies, may be considered for selected patients with certain musculoskeletal conditions to support the body’s natural healing processes.

Individualized Treatment

Not every treatment is appropriate for every patient. A medical evaluation is performed before recommending a procedure to determine the possible source of pain and to discuss available treatment options, potential benefits, risks, and expectations.
