Less Common Services:
Celiac Plexus Block
The celiac plexus is a small bundle of nerves that carries sympathetic nerve signals from the abdomen.
Discography
Discography is a diagnostic procedure in which x-ray dye is injected under gentle pressure into the discs of the spine.
Epidural Blood Patch
An epidural blood patch is an injection of your blood into the epidural space. The injection of a freshly drawn sample of your own blood into the epidural space “plugs the leak” and the headache goes away.
Epidural Steroid Block
An epidural steroid injection is an injection of an anti-inflammatory steroid into the epidural space.
Facet Joint Injection
The facet joints, also known as the zygapophysial joints, are part of the bony framework of the spine. A facet joint injection is an injection of an anti-inflammatory steroid.
Intercostal Nerve Block
An intercostal nerve block is a block of the nerves that lie underneath the lower edge of each rib.
Lumbar Sympathetic Block
Lumbar sympathetic nerves are a small bundle of nerves that carries sympathetic nerve signals from the lower extremities.
Medial Branch Block
Medial branch nerves supply sensation to the facet joints. Facet joints are part of the bony framework of the spine.
Other Joint Injections
The medicine used in a joint injection is a mixture of local anesthetic and steroid. The medicine reduces inflammation and pain.
Radiofrequency Lesioning
Radiofrequency lesioning is a procedure in which special needles are used to create lesions along selected nerves. The procedure disrupts nerve conduction, reducing pain, and related symptoms.
Sacroiliac Joint Injection
The sacroiliac is a joint located between the tailbone ("sacrum") and pelvic bone ("ileum"). Thus, the name "sacroiliac" joint comes from the two bones that make up the joint.
Selective Nerve Root Block
Along the spine, there are several "holes" or "foramina" through which nerve roots emerge. If these foramina are partially closed from bulging disks, bone spurs, misalignment of vertebrae, etc., the nerve root can also be pinched. This typically causes a shooting or radiating pain along that nerve root.
Spinal Cord Stimulation
Spinal cord stimulation is offered to patients with chronic and severe neuropathic pain. It is for patients who have not responded to other treatment modalities.
Stellate Ganglion Block
The "stellate ganglion" is a small bundle of nerves that carries "sympathetic" nerve signals from the upper extremities. Injuries to the upper extremities can cause a burning pain called complex regional pain syndrome or reflex sympathetic dystrophy.
Vertebroplasty
Many people experience a compression fracture of the vertebra, one of the bones in the spine. Fractures can be due to osteoporosis, traumatic injury, or cancer. These fractures can be painful and progression of the fracture can affect other functions of the body, like good posture or proper breathing.
