• Greater Trochanter
• Therapeutic
• Caudal
• Lumbar Sympathetic
• Transforaminal
• Celiac Plexus
• Stellate Ganglion
• Paravertebral Facet
• Sacroiliac
• Intercostal

Physical Therapy: the evaluation and treatment of physical disabilities designed to improve physical strength, range of motion and ability. Physical therapy is used in conjunction and to complement and enhance the pain management treatment plan.

TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation): An outpatient/office procedure where a small extractable device delivers electric impulses to nerve endings to stop pain.

Trigger Point Injections: Used to treat extremely painful and tender areas of muscle. A trigger point is a knot or tight band of muscle that forms when muscles fail to relax.

Platelet Rich Plasma Injections (PRP):
PRP has made Doctors Pain Clinic the go-to sports injury treatment center for high school and collegiate athletic programs from around the region.

MRI-Safe Spinal Cord Stimulator System: An outpatient procedure where a neurostimulaton system is surgically placed under the skin to send mild electrical impulses to the spinal cord or to a peripheral nerve. These electrical impulses are delivered through a lead (a special medical wire) that is also surgically implanted block pain receptors and bring relief to specific areas where pain is felt.

Intrathecal Drug Delivery System (Medicine Pump): An outpatient/inpatient surgical treatment. A catheter (thin flexible tube) is implanted in the intrathecal space of the spine and connected to a pump releasing medicine at a set rate. With delivery of medicine to receptors in the spinal cord, smaller amounts of medicine are needed to obtain relief from pain. Anti-spasm medications such as Baclofen, and pain medicine such as Dilaudid and morphine sulfate are delivered by the pump system.

Percutaneous Disc Decompression: Performed in surgery with the help of X-ray guidance, a discectomy probe removes disc tissue via a tiny puncture in the skin similar to a simple injection. Removal of disc tissue may relieve painful pressure on the surrounding nerves.

Discogram: An outpatient diagnostic X-ray test that attempts to replicate the patient's pain symptoms in order to pinpoint the pain source in the discs. Dye and an antibiotic mixture are injected into the disc enabling the physician to determine whether the disc is painful when the pressure is increased.

Radiofrequency Denervation: Radiofrequency current is used to heat a small volume of nerve tissue interrupting pain signals from that specific area to relieve pain.
