Pain Management Procedures

Pain management starts with understanding the source. Our physicians are continually staying up to date on leading research in the most advanced techniques to ensure we provide our patients with top medical care and the best options available.

Ultrasound technology is one of the leading modalities for identifying and treating pain related to injuries, including muscle tears, osteoarthritis, or any other abnormalities causing discomfort. By using ultrasound, we can avoid steroid injections and instead treat them therapeutically.

Benefits of Ultrasound-Guided Injections

• Spine Injection – Ultrasound technology allows for an accurate reading to identify if the pain is coming from the bone, disc, facet, joint, muscle, or connective tissue. Having this specific information gives our team the ability to create a treatment plan to reduce inflammation and pain, paving the way for healing.
• Tendon or Nerve Hydrodissection - Hydrodissection injections treat conditions such as rotator cuff pain, tears, frozen shoulder, and joint pain due to muscle or tendon strain. Hydrodissection injections use a combination of saline and anesthetic to separate tissue areas that might be the source of pain. This type of injection is also used to treat nerve entrapment like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
• Joint Pain – With today’s ultrasound technology, joint pain, and the surrounding structures can be precisely identified and accurately treated.
• Trigger Point Injections – If your pain and limited mobility result from muscular constriction and tightness, ultrasound technology enables us to see the exact area that is affected. We can then target the area with the ultrasound-guided injections allowing the physician to see the needle enter the body in real time for accurate, precise treatment.
• Scar Tissue Release – There is often a build-up of scar tissue due to surgical procedures, which can cause localized or widespread pain. Ultrasound technology releases the scar tissue and alleviates the pain.

Regenerative Spine or Joint Injections

If conventional treatments have not brought you relief, regenerative medicine is a viable option for you. These injections include:

• Prolotherapy – The latest in regenerative medicine, prolotherapy is a non-invasive treatment where a solution of dextrose and lidocaine is injected into damaged or weakened ligaments, muscle tissue, and tendons. By doing so, inflammation naturally occurs, in which your body then creates repair cells to repair and restore the area.
• PRP – We can treat common injuries such as torn tendons, muscles, and joint pain by reintroducing your body to concentrated platelets prepared from your blood.
