Epidural Steroid Injections
Epidural injections are a safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatment for neck pain, low back pain, buttock pain, leg pain or sciatica that has been around for decades. Your doctor will place a small amount of anti-inflammatory medication into the epidural space NEAR the spine. This will relieve swelling, inflammation and most importantly pain.
Facet Blocks
A facet block is an injection of local anesthetic (numbing medicine) into one or more of the small joints located along the side of each vertebrae on both sides of the spine. Multiple injections may be performed, depending upon how many joints are involved.
Radiofrequency
Radiofrequency is a nonsurgical, minimally invasive procedure that uses heat to reduce or stop the transmission of pain. Radiofrequency waves ablate, or “burn,” the nerve that is causing the pain, essentially eliminating the transmission of pain signals to the brain.
Spinal Cord Stimulation
Spinal cord stimulation uses a small device to deliver electrical pulses to the spinal cord, masking pain signals before they reach the brain. It helps people better manage their chronic pain and reduce their use of opioid medications.
Intrathecal Pump
An intrathecal pump is a small medical device that delivers pain relief medications directly to the spinal cord. Medications delivered here have a stronger and faster effect with fewer side effects than medications taken in pill form.
MILD
Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression (MILD) is a safe, minimally invasive, outpatient treatment that can help LSS patients stand longer and walk farther with less pain. Performed through a 5.1 mm treatment portal that requires no general anesthesia, no implants, and no stitches. MILD safely decompresses the spinal canal by removing small portions of lamina and hypertrophic ligamentum flavum leaving the structural stability of the spine intact.
Vertiflex
The Vertiflex Procedure is redefining the treatment of LSS for patients. It provides patients with a clinically proven, minimally invasive solution that is designed to deliver long-term relief from the leg and back pain associated with LSS. This level-one evidence-based procedure is supported by data from patients who reported successful outcomes up to five years.
