PAIN MANAGEMENT

As there are a myriad of potential causes of back and neck pain, our Pain Management practice utilizes a comprehensive approach to elucidate the cause of an individual’s pain. We incorporate all aspects of a patient’s medical background and history with the latest in diagnostic testing to determine what the primary and possible secondary etiologies of an individual’s pain may be. We develop a focused step-by-step treatment plan to then address those specific diagnoses that incorporate medication treatment with physical therapy and minimally invasive procedures. Throughout the diagnosis, treatment, and recovery, our goal is to maintain the focus on the needs of the individual seeking treatment with the belief that our therapies are being done with them, not to them.

In addition to medication and physical therapy one of the core elements of treatment we utilize is a variety of interventional injection therapies. These treatments are outpatient therapies – many of which take 15-30 minutes to perform and can be done in a procedure room located in the office. These treatment are based around the idea that giving a focused amount of medication directly to the site where the pain may be coming from in the neck or back may alleviate the pain an individual experiences. There are a variety of such treatments based on the different sources of pain in the neck and back almost all of which are done under X-ray guidance to ensure medication is delivered to a very focused location. Our physicians have been specialty trained in the latest medical science has to offer with regards to such therapies at some of the top teaching Hospitals in the Country.
