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.
