Epidural Steroid Injections are performed for injuries or pain arising from the discs of the spine. These injections involve placing a single needle into an area of the spine known as the epidural space. Once proper position of the needle is confirmed by use of a dye, then a steroid medication is injected through the needle. This medication bathes the adjacent disc(s) and reduces inflammation surrounding these discs resulting in a reduction of pain signals from these areas. This procedure can be performed in the neck, mid back and low back.

Spinal joints and the associated capsules that surround each joint can often be an area of pain that is missed by health care practitioners. It is a common source of spinal pain especially following trauma. The use of our proprietary regenerative medicine technique has been a major advancement in the treatment of these injuries. We have helped thousands of patients suffering from ongoing pain with the use of our regenerative treatments. Multiple needles are placed within the injured facet joint capsules of the neck or low back and the regenerative product is injected. It generally requires 5 to 7 days for these regenerative treatments to begin to work after which the patient’s pain levels generally diminish significantly.
Sacroiliac Injections
Epidural Steroid Injection
Sacroiliac Injections
The sacroiliac joint is where the lower bone of the spine called the sacrum meets the “hip bone” known as the ilium and is held together by strong fibrous ligaments. Injury to these ligaments of the sacroiliac joint can often result in pain of the buttock that often travels down the leg of the affected side. Injection within the joint of
The sacroiliac joint is where the lower bone of the spine called the sacrum meets the “hip bone” known as the ilium and is held together by strong fibrous ligaments. Injury to these ligaments of the sacroiliac joint can often result in pain of the buttock that often travels down the leg of the affected side. Injection within the joint of either a steroid preparation of PRP/ CRP can provide significant relief of this pain.
Medial Branch Blocks
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
Medial Branch Blocks ( MBB ) are primarily used to diagnose injury to the facet joints of the neck or low back. A local anesthetic is injected onto the medial branch nerve that supplies the affected spinal facet joints numbing that nerve for a period of time. MBB’s can be used to assist your doctor in determining if radiofrequency ablati
Medial Branch Blocks ( MBB ) are primarily used to diagnose injury to the facet joints of the neck or low back. A local anesthetic is injected onto the medial branch nerve that supplies the affected spinal facet joints numbing that nerve for a period of time. MBB’s can be used to assist your doctor in determining if radiofrequency ablation of the nerve may provide longer relief of a patient’s facet pain.

Radiofrequency ablation, also called rhizotomy, is a nonsurgical, minimally invasive procedure that uses heat to reduce or stop the transmission of pain. Radiofrequency waves ablate, or “burn,” the small medial branch nerves that are signaling the pain, essentially eliminating the transmission of pain signals to the brain. It does not “f
Radiofrequency ablation, also called rhizotomy, is a nonsurgical, minimally invasive procedure that uses heat to reduce or stop the transmission of pain. Radiofrequency waves ablate, or “burn,” the small medial branch nerves that are signaling the pain, essentially eliminating the transmission of pain signals to the brain. It does not “fix” the injury but is useful in providing 6 to 12 months of pain relief of spinal joint pain of the neck or low back.
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgeries
Posterior and Anterior Disc Decompression
Posterior and Anterior Disc Decompression
Posterior and Anterior Disc Decompression
This minimally invasive surgery allows patients with smaller herniations of the neck or low back to obtain relief of neck or back pain with very minimal trauma to the spine by using a small tube placed within the herniated disc. Once the disc is accessed, a device and/ or a grasper is then placed inside the disc to remove, shrink and ab
This minimally invasive surgery allows patients with smaller herniations of the neck or low back to obtain relief of neck or back pain with very minimal trauma to the spine by using a small tube placed within the herniated disc. Once the disc is accessed, a device and/ or a grasper is then placed inside the disc to remove, shrink and ablate the disc material providing the opportunity for the herniated disc to withdraw over time and painful symptoms to resolve. This surgery is performed through a ¼ inch incision with quick recovery of less than a week and certain lifting and bending restrictions for approximately 4 to 6 weeks.
Kyphoplasty

Posterior and Anterior Disc Decompression
This minimally-invasive procedure repairs a vertebral compression fracture. It helps restore the spine's natural shape. Some patients experience rapid pain relief after the procedure.

This minimally-invasive procedure repairs a vertebral compression fracture. It helps restore the spine's natural shape. Some patients experience rapid pain relief after the procedure. Before the procedure, you are anesthetized. The physician guides a needle through the skin of your back and into your fractured vertebra. A special x-ray device called a "fluoroscope" helps the physician position the needle. A balloon device is placed through the needle and into the vertebral body. The physician carefully inflates this balloon to expand the fractured bone. When the balloon is deflated, it leaves a cavity in the middle of the vertebral body. The balloon is removed. For some patients, more than one needle and balloon may be used. The physician injects bone cement through the needle. The cement fills the cavity. It hardens inside the vertebral body, stabilizing the fracture. When the procedure is complete, the needle is removed. The opening in your skin is closed. Your doctor will give you instructions to aid your recovery.
