Interventional Pain Management

Managing Pain, Enhancing Life

Pain shouldn’t control your life.

Our interventional pain specialists offer personalized treatments to help you manage and reduce pain, improving your quality of life.

Treatments We Offer

Rhizotomy

Rhizotomy or a radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to alleviate pain by selectively treating nerves transmitting specific pain signals.

This intervention is recommended for patients who had a positive response to a diagnostic injection but had short-term improvement from the diagnostic injection.

 

While many patients experience substantial pain relief, outcomes may vary.

 

Consult our specialists to determine if rhizotomy is appropriate for your condition.

Medication management

Medication management is essential to a comprehensive pain management plan, tailored to each patient’s specific needs and medical history.

When combined with other therapies, appropriate medications can significantly improve quality of life. It is critical to adhere strictly to the prescribed regimen for optimal results.

 

Discuss your medication options with our healthcare team to enhance your pain management strategy.

Diagnostic injections

Diagnostic injections are instrumental in accurately identifying the pain source and delivering precise treatment.

These injections can be utilized across various joints, including the shoulders, spine, hips, and knees, providing diagnostic confirmation and pain relief.

 

Ensure an accurate diagnosis—schedule a diagnostic injection with our experts.

Sacroiliac joint injections

Sacroiliac joint injections diagnose and treat pain originating from the sacroiliac joints, which connect the spine to the pelvis.

By administering anti-inflammatory agents directly into the joint, these injections can significantly alleviate discomfort in the lower back and surrounding areas.

 

Consult our specialists to determine if sacroiliac joint injections are suitable for you.

MILD Procedure

The MILD (Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression) procedure addresses lumbar spinal stenosis by removing excess ligament and bone tissue, thereby reducing nerve compression.

This minimally invasive intervention offers a significant improvement in pain and mobility for patients with spinal stenosis.

 

Explore the MILD procedure with our team to improve your spinal health.

Medial Branch Block

A medial branch block involves the targeted injection of anesthetic on specific medial branch nerves which innervate facet joints in the spine.

This procedure provides temporary pain relief which confirms the exact source of spinal pain allowing for a more focused and effective treatment plan.

 

Consult with us to assess if a medial branch block is the right approach for your condition.

Spinal Cord Stimulator

A spinal cord stimulator is an implanted device that emits electrical signals to disrupt pain transmission to the brain, providing significant relief for long-lasting pain sufferers.

This procedure is adjustable to patient needs and can be reversed if necessary, offering a customizable approach to pain management.

 

Discuss the potential benefits of a spinal cord stimulator with our specialists.

Carpal Tunnel Injections

Carpal tunnel injection provides targeted relief for wrist and hand pain by reducing inflammation and swelling around the median nerve.

This injection, which contains a combination of anesthetic and corticosteroid, is effective in relieving pain and enhancing function in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome.

Consider a carpal tunnel injection and schedule a consultation with our team.

Although every patient in situation is unique, often times a minimally invasive surgical approach may be available. At University Orthopedic Care, our surgeons utilize the most advanced approaches for numerous benefits:

  • The entire procedure is conducted through a small incision ranging from one and a half inches to a quarter inch.
  • MIS significantly decreases the amount of an anatomic disruption and cutting through tissues.
  • Recovery time with MIS is significantly shorter than that required for traditional exposure surgical methods.
