Conditions We Treat
Back Pain
Back pain can have causes that aren’t due to underlying disease. Examples include overuse such as working out or lifting too much, prolonged sitting and lying down, sleeping in an uncomfortable position, or wearing a poorly fitting backpack.
Cancer Pain
Pain is one of the most common symptoms in cancer patients. Pain can be caused by cancer, cancer treatment, or a combination of factors.
Degenerative Disc Disease
Degenerative disc disease (DDD) refers to symptoms of back or neck pain caused by wear-and-tear on a spinal disc. In some cases, DDD also causes weakness, numbness, and hot, shooting pains in the arms or legs (radicular pain). DDD typically consists of a low-level chronic pain with intermittent episodes of more severe pain.
Neck Pain
Neck pain can have causes that aren’t due to underlying disease. Examples include prolonged straining (looking up or down), sleeping in an uncomfortable position, stress, or wearing heavy necklaces.
Occipital Neuralgia
Occipital Neuralgia is a condition in which the occipital nerves, the nerves that run through the scalp, are injured or inflamed. This causes headaches that feel like severe piercing, throbbing or shock-like pain in the upper neck, back of the head or behind the ears.
Degenerative Joint Disease
Degenerative joint disease—also called osteoarthritis—is a condition characterized by stiff, painful joints. It’s caused by the wearing down of cartilage, which allows bones to rub against each other. People with degenerative joint disease often have joint stiffness, pain and swollen joints. It can become so debilitating that daily tasks become difficult.
Fibromyalgia
Hip Pain
Hip pain can have causes that aren’t due to underlying disease. Examples include trauma, lying on a side for a prolonged period, overuse, muscle stiffness, sitting in an awkward position, sprains, or strains.
Post Surgery Pain
After any surgery or procedure, most patients will experience some sort of post-surgical pain. Ideally, post-operative pain is anticipated, and your physician/surgeon should provide options to manage any post-operative, acute pain. Post-surgery pain is usually triggered by the incision wounds, burns due to grafting, damage or disruption of internal organs, nerve damage and/or tissue damage. Post-surgery pain should be temporary (only lasting 2 to 5 days), and medication is usually sufficient to effectively manage post-surgery pain.
Migraine & Headache
A migraine is much more than a bad headache. This neurological disease can cause debilitating throbbing pain that can leave you in bed for days! Movement, light, sound and other triggers may cause symptoms like pain, tiredness, nausea, visual disturbances, numbness and tingling, irritability, difficulty speaking, temporary loss of vision and many more.
Musculoskeletal Pain
Acute or chronic pain that affects bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons and even nerves is called musculoskeletal pain. This type of pain is also associated with musculoskeletal disorders.
Trigeminal Neuralgia
Trigeminal neuralgia is a condition characterized by pain coming from the trigeminal nerve, which starts near the top of the ear and splits in three, toward the eye, cheek and jaw. We have two trigeminal nerves for each side of our face, but trigeminal neuralgia pain most commonly affects only one side.
Interventional Pain Management
We use a variety of interventional procedures to treat pain. Guidance from X-ray or ultrasound imaging helps us deliver the therapy to the exact source of your pain. This works whether we’re using steroid injections or heat-based remedies. For the most part, we perform these minimally invasive procedures right in our offices. Our pain management specialists design a treatment plan especially to meet your individual needs. We strive to give you the most pain relief possible.
