Spine and Regenerative Treatments

Spine and Regenerative Treatments implement epidural steroid injections are a common treatment for many forms of neck pain, back pain, arm pain, and leg pain. They have been used since the 1950s and are considered an invaluable component in the nonsurgical treatment of these types of pain. It is called an epidural injection because it involves carefully injecting a local anesthetic combined with steroids into the epidural space that surrounds the spinal cord and spinal nerve roots. The steroids in epidural injections have anti-inflammatory effects that suppress pain signals from inflamed spinal nerves, and injured spinal discs and improve function in the lower back, neck, arms, and legs. The steroids act by Inhibiting the release of chemical substances from discs, limiting the production of inflammatory mediators of pain, and reducing spontaneous nerve pain signals. The injections are safe and can be done three to four times per year.

RFA is a procedure that offers another option to treat painful facet joints. The procedure is carried out using electrical energy to cauterize or burn the small medial branch nerves that supply sensory input to the facet joints. At this point of our lives the medial branch nerves only provide sensory input, and many times only pain signals causing chronic neck and back pain. By burning or cauterizing the nerves, patients often experience significant reduction in chronic neck and back pain that can last for many months. The procedure is a safe and effective way to treat chronic neck and back pain, improve range of motion and quality of life.

Nerve blocks are a technique that can be used to block chronic pain signals which can reduce pain, and improve patient function and quality of life. Usually, a combination of local anesthetics is deposited around a nerve believed to be a source of pain which will temporarily block the nerve’s function and ability to produce pain signals. These nerve blocks can be performed repeatedly which often results in reduced pain, reduced frequency of pain reduced overall pain scores. This often allows patients to reduce the amount of analgesics required to manage chronic symptoms.
