Trigger point injections are a type of pain management that is focused directly on relieving knots and stiffness in muscles. A tiny needle is used to target the knots, causing the muscle to twitch. The damaged muscles are naturally stimulated by this twitching, which helps them relax.
Soft tissue injections can help with acute pain. No matter if overuse or an accident caused your soft tissue pain, these injections inject anti-inflammatory medicine into the afflicted region to reduce swelling, and in some instances remove excess fluid, from the tendon, ligaments, skin, or muscle.
For people suffering from a facet joint injury, radiofrequency denervation is a fantastic alternative for pain management. An X-Ray is used to direct a needle to the infected joint's nerve, allowing us to relieve the pain you're suffering. RFD, radiofrequency neurotomy, and radiofrequency rhizotomy are all terms used to describe this treatment.
Medial branch block injections are intended to alleviate acute back pain to the greatest extent feasible. A powerful local anesthetic is injected into the nerve connecting to the small bony projections linking one vertebra to the next. These joints aid in the management of spine movement and give additional support and stability to the vertebrae.
For those that suffer from acute pain in the lower back, Caudal Epidural Steroid Injections are often recommended for relief. A local anesthetic and an effective, long-lasting steroid are administered at the base of the spine, providing lasting pain relief for over a period of several months.
We also provide a wide variety of treatments aimed toward relieving acute pain in the lower back. Lumbar epidural steroid injections, lumbar sympathetic blocks, and lumbar transforaminal epidural steroid injections, as well as lumbar, thoracic, and cervical radiofrequency neurotomy all allow us to reduce the recurrence of pain and any associated inflammation.
Injury to or overuse of the joints can be the cause of much acute pain in this area, but when this injection is administered close to the affected joint–along with a local anesthetic and, in some cases, a fast-acting steroid–it can provide lasting relief.
If you have pain, numbness, or tingling in your neck, shoulder, or arms that could be occurring because of a pinched nerve, Cervical Epidural Steroid Injections are an effective pain management solution. This injection is a mixture of both a local anesthetic and steroid, and it is administered into the base of your neck around the spinal cord.
Our trained team of medical professionals take their responsibility and the high-quality services seriously. They can also help you manage your medication regimen, allowing you to have the peace of mind you need to live a pain-free life.

Sometimes an imaging test is required to evaluate back pain. This is known as a Discography, and it helps us determine if abnormal disks in your spine are the cause of your acute back pain. The images are made by using a special dye with an antibiotic that helps us locate the pain’s exact source
Cervical Transforaminal Steroid Injections have an anti-inflammatory medicine that is administered into the epidural space much like a Cervical Epidural Steroid Inject. The difference, however, is how this particular injection is administered. Transforaminal injections are injected in the side from where the nerve exists the spine or as near to the source of the inflammation as possible.
