Algology / Pain Treatment
Living with chronic pain can be debilitating. Our algology or pain treatment specialty is dedicated to diagnosing, managing, and treating various types of pain. This includes chronic headaches, nerve pain, and pain related to conditions like cancer or degenerative diseases. Using a multidisciplinary approach, we work to find the most effective, personalized treatment plan for each patient.
Our clinic offers the caudal epidural block, a type of pain management procedure. In this treatment, medication is injected into the caudal (lower) area of the epidural space in the spine, targeting nerve roots that are causing pain. This procedure can provide significant relief for various conditions, including lower back pain, sciatica, and conditions affecting the pelvis. Our goal is to alleviate pain and enhance the patient’s ability to engage in physical therapy and everyday activities.
Our clinic provides transforaminal injections as part of our comprehensive pain management services. This treatment involves injecting anti-inflammatory medication directly into the area around the spinal nerves that are causing pain, typically in the neck or lower back. By targeting the source of pain, transforaminal injections can provide significant relief, improve mobility, and facilitate participation in physical therapy. Our goal is to help patients return to their daily activities with minimal discomfort.
Our clinic offers radiofrequency thermocoagulation, a minimally invasive procedure used to alleviate chronic pain. This treatment involves using an electrical current produced by radio waves to heat up a small area of nerve tissue, thereby decreasing the pain signals from that specific area. Commonly used to treat conditions like chronic back pain and neck pain, it provides patients with a significant reduction in discomfort. Our goal is to help patients regain their quality of life and enhance their ability to participate in daily activities.
Our clinic provides facet joint blocks as part of our specialized pain management services. This procedure involves injecting a local anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication into one or more of the small joints located along the spine, known as facet joints. This can provide significant relief for patients suffering from conditions like arthritis or injury that cause back or neck pain. Our aim is to reduce pain, improve mobility, and help patients return to their normal activities.
Our clinic offers epiduroscopy, a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat pain originating in the spinal canal’s epidural space. Using a thin, flexible scope, our experts can directly visualize and treat areas of concern. This procedure is often used for conditions like chronic low back pain or sciatica, especially when other treatments have not been effective. Our aim is to accurately diagnose the source of pain, provide targeted treatment, and help patients regain their quality of life.
Our clinic provides percutaneous cryodenervation, a minimally invasive procedure used to treat chronic pain. This technique involves freezing the nerves that transmit pain signals to the brain, effectively numbing them and providing significant relief. It’s often used for conditions such as trigeminal neuralgia and other forms of neuropathic pain. Our goal is to target and treat the source of pain accurately, offering patients a path towards improved functionality and quality of life.
