We specialize in
INTERVENTIONAL
PAIN
Interventional pain management offers targeted treatments to relieve chronic neck and back pain. Our approach includes advanced procedures such as epidural steroid injections, facet joint injections, and radiofrequency ablation—minimally invasive techniques designed to reduce inflammation, interrupt pain signals, and improve mobility. These image-guided therapies provide effective relief for conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, and arthritis of the spine.
SPINE CARE
Your spine controls various parts of your body and plays an important role in your day to day functions. That’s why we specialize in spine care, offering services such as spinal cord stimulation, spinal stenosis, lumbar spine and cervical spine pain to get you the treatment you need.
Sports Medicine
From neck, back and spine pain, to knee, shoulder and hip injuries, we specialize in getting you back to peak performance through interventional therapy and state of the art procedures.
Back pain is a common issue that affects over 600 million people around the world — and this number is expected to jump beyond 843 million by 2050 — and while some causes are unavoidable, certain lifestyle habits can make it worse.
Spinal stenosis — a condition that happens when the spaces in your spinal column narrow and put pressure on your nerves — doesn’t develop overnight. It can happen slowly, which means your first symptoms may be subtle. Read on to learn four of them.
Walking might be the last thing on your mind if you have chronic knee pain. Many people wonder if walking makes the pain worse — but does it? Read on to learn if walking will make chronic knee pain worse.
