Discography: Also called a discogram, this test helps your doctor find spinal discs that are causing pain.

Fluoroscopic spine injections: These injections use state-of-the-art X-ray-guidance to provide targeted spine therapies.

Injections: We offer all types of injections to reduce inflammation, including bursa, epidural, facet joint, myofascial trigger point, peripheral nerve, sacroiliac joint and shoulder, hip and knee injections.

Nerve blocks: We perform a variety of nerve blocks, including medial branch, occipital nerve, sphenopalatine ganglion and sympathetic nerve blocks.

Physical and occupational therapy: Our therapists help patients return to optimal functioning.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy: PRP harnesses the body’s own natural healing ability to accelerate healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints.

Radiofrequency ablation: This treatment uses a radiofrequency current to decrease pain signaling from a targeted area.

Spinal cord stimulation: Spinal cord stimulation involves implanting a device that sends electric impulses into the spinal cord to relieve pain.

Ultrasound-guided joint and nerve blocks: This treatment allows for precisely targeted injections for pain relief.
