Pain Management & Regenerative Medicine Services
Services We Offer:
Arthritis
Many conditions require specialized care that revolves around symptom management. Arthritis is one of the most common medical conditions that provoke chronic pain. We are proud to offer patients the variety of services they need to ensure their comfort can be improved.
Back and Spine Pain
Millions of Americans suffer from chronic back pain and are searching for ways to restore a better quality to their lives. Surgery is a last resort method of treating back pain, with most doctors opting to use conservative management protocols to help patients feel more comfortable. As a pain management facility, we offer a range of solutions that patients may find advantageous to their situation.
Epidural
The highest level of short-term pain relief. For patients going through an extremely painful experience above a level of 10 pain, we offer spinal cord epidurals. This is for patients that suffer an extreme injury and need immediate pain relief.
Facet Block
A cervical, thoracic or lumbar facet joint injection involves injecting a small amount of local anesthetic (numbing agent) and/or steroid medication, which can anesthetize the facet joints and block the pain. The pain relief from a facet joint injection is intended to help a patient better tolerate a physical therapy routine to rehabilitate his or her injury or back condition.
Hip Pain
We help people address the symptoms of hip pain using substances known to facilitate inflammation reduction and tissue regeneration.
Hyaluronic Acid Injections
Hyaluronic acid injection is used to treat knee pain caused by osteoarthritis (OA) in patients who have already been treated with pain relievers (e.g., acetaminophen) and other treatments that did not work well.
Joint Injections
A steroid injection is a minimally invasive procedure that can temporarily relieve pain caused by an inflamed joint. … A steroid injection includes both a corticosteroid (e.g., triamcinolone, methylprednisolone, dexamethasone) and an anesthetic numbing agent (e.g., lidocaine or Marcaine).
Knee Pain
Knee pain affects many people at some point. When pain from an injury is acute or becomes chronic, sensations such as a constant ache, sharp, shooting pain, or dull burning may present an obstacle for daily living. At the Art of Pain Management, we assist patients in promoting natural pain relief and tissue repair using innovative biological treatments.
Median Branch Nerve Block
A medial branch nerve block is a procedure in which an anesthetic is injected near small medial nerves connected to a specific facet joint. Typically several levels of the spine are injected in one procedure.
Meditation Program
Our minds race worried about all of life’s problems which causes anxiety. This anxiety can cause full body and / or acute pain that can be excruciating. Exercising your mind through one of our customized meditation programs will free your mind of life’s problems allowing your body to reach a state of pure relaxation.
Neck Pain
The spine is comprised of multiple segments of bones, discs, ligaments, and muscles. This chain extends from the tailbone to the base of the skull. The neck region is referred to as the cervical spine. This spinal segment supports the head while also protecting the nerves and spinal cord. With several facet joints, discs, vertebrae, and nerves all working together, the cervical spine may be prone to injury and deterioration due to poor posture. Damage to any one of these structures can lead to pain.
Occipital Nerve Block
An occipital nerve block is an injection of a steroid or other medication around the greater and lesser occipital nerves that are located on the back of the head just above the neck area to relieve headaches and migraines.
Onsite Urine Tox Screening and Confirmatory Testing
Employers have strict policies regarding their employees using illegal drugs. If you’re an employer and you suspect that one of your employees is engaging in illegal drug activities you can send them to us. We’ll perform a urine toxicity screening and provide you with same day guaranteed results.
Radiofrequency Ablation
Radiofrequency Ablation (or RFA) is a procedure used to reduce pain. An electrical current produced by a radio wave is used to heat/ or cool up a small area of nerve tissue, thereby decreasing pain signals from that specific area.
Sacroiliac Joint Injection
Sacroiliac (SI) joint injection—also called a sacroiliac joint block—is primarily used either to diagnose or treat low back pain and/or sciatica symptoms associated with sacroiliac joint dysfunction. The sacroiliac joints lie next to the spine and connect the sacrum with the hip on both sides.
Sciatic Nerve Block
Sciatic nerve block results in anesthesia of the entire lower limb below the knee (both motor and sensory blockade), with the exception of the skin on the medial leg and foot, which is innervated by the saphenous nerve. Both the transgluteal and subgluteal approaches provide motor blockade of the hamstring muscles.
Shoulder Pain
Whether resultant from an injury or caused by the age-related deterioration of cartilage tissue, shoulder pain needs to be treated. At the Art of Pain Management, we offer innovative solutions that rely on the body’s natural healing capacity.
Spinal Cord Stimulator
A spinal cord stimulator is an implanted device that sends low levels of electricity directly into the spinal cord to relieve pain. Spinal cord stimulation is used most often after nonsurgical pain treatment options have failed to provide sufficient relief.
Suprascapular Nerve Block
Suprascapular nerve block (SSNB) is a safe and effective method to treat pain in chronic diseases that affect the shoulder. The technique consists of injecting anesthetic in supraspinatus fossa of affected shoulder, with the patient sitting down and upper limbs pending beside the body.
Swimming Program
With our body’s being made up of 60% water we’re naturally drawn to it. Upon submerging yourself in the pool you reach an unparalleled level of relaxation. This is why swimming is such a therapeutic workout. It forces all of your muscles to work in unison while keeping your mind focused. We tailor swimming programs to suit your lifestyle and achieve optimal pain reduction.
Tai Chi Program
On the physical side, tai chi supports or improves balance, coordination, flexibility, muscle strength, and stamina. On the mental side, tai chi helps relieve stress, improves body awareness and, when done in a group setting, reduces social isolation. Following one of our customized programs can greatly reduce pain.
Trigger Point Injections
A trigger point injection is a procedure where a medication, usually a local anesthetic, is injected into the painful muscle to provide relief. The pain relief should be experienced not only in the affected muscle, but in the area of referred pain as well.
Workers' Compensation
At Art of Pain Management, it is our goal to not only improve a patient's physical and mental health, but also ensure their Workers' Compensation case is buttoned up on all levels.
