Patients who have chronic back pain due to problems such as herniated discs, arthritis or spinal stenosis are surprised to discover the many non-surgical options are available to treat their pain.
A Pain Management specialist evaluates the patient, determines or confirms the source of pain and discusses treatment goals with the patient to determine the most appropriate treatment. For some patients, a prescription pain medication and physical therapy are enough to control the pain. But many patients also need to consider other options for pain management. Some of the latest treatments and technology that we offer for back pain include:
- Transforaminal epidural steroid injection
- Facet nerve blocks and radiofrequency ablation
- Intradiscal ablation procedures
- Tunneled epidural catheters for continuous infusions
- Spinal cord stimulator
- Minimally invasive disc decompression
- Intraspinal drug delivery
- Osteopathic manipulation
- Alternative medicine
