If you have a pain condition, you know how it can affect everything from your mobility, to your mood and energy. Often, pain is a chronic problem.

Whereas acute pain is a short-lived, beneficial pain that alerts us to possible injury, chronic pain is persistent and harmful.

Upon arrival at one of our clinics, your pain doctor will meet you for your scheduled consultation. At this time, he or she will have the opportunity to talk with you about your overall health and your specific pain symptoms. After getting to know you and your pain better, your doctor will perform a physical examination with gentle and attentive bedside manner. He or she may even order some lab tests or imaging studies, such as an x-ray or MRI. With this information, your doctor will be able to diagnose your pain condition. He or she will then begin working with you on designing a treatment plan to best meet your needs. A wide array of treatment options are available, including those outlined below that only a pain specialist can offer.

Neck, Back, Shoulder, Hip and Knee Pain Treatments

• Epidural: Pain physicians administer еріdurаl, a combination of a corticosteroid injection and local anesthetic medication, to treat neck, low back, and leg pain.
• Steroid injection: Corticosteroid injections are delivered by a pain doctor into the facet joints of the spine of the neck or the back, the shoulder or knee joints, or the sacroiliac joints of the hip, to treat pain and swelling.
• Iovera: Pain physicians deliver this cold therapy, known as “cryotherapy,” to freeze peripheral nerves that cause joint pain. This freezing of the nerve deactivates it from feeling pain.
• Platelet Rich Plasma: Pain medicine specialists inject your own blood platelets and growth factors into painful, damaged tissue to accelerate the natural healing process.
• Trigger point injections: Pain medicine specialists inject a small needle containing saline, local anesthetic and possibly steroid, botox, or platelet rich plasma into painful “trigger points” to treat jaw, low back, pelvic, arm and leg pain. Trigger points feel like painful knots beneath the skin, and are associated with a condition known as myofascial pain syndrome.
• Nerve Block: Pain medicine specialists use ultrasound and a local anesthetic medication to block the cervical, lumbar, scapular, sacroiliac, or genicular nerves from feeling neck, back, shoulder, hip, or knee pain.
• Radiofrequency Ablation: Radiofrequency ablation of the cervical, lumbar, scapular, sacroiliac, or genicular nerves allows pain doctors to block and remove painful nerves. Additional cooling technology can be applied for a more effective treatment.
• MILD Procedure: MILD, or “Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression,” is a special procedure performed by pain physicians to treat lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). LSS is narrowing of the spinal canal that compresses the spinal cord and nerves of the lower back. With a very small lumbar incision and imaging guidance, small pieces of bone and excess tissue are removed to decrease nerve compression.
