Pain Injections

At Pain Care Physicians, we offer pain relief through a wide variety of injections for cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, shoulder, elbow, knee, hip, and ankle pain, as well as repetitive injuries.

Spinal Cord Stimulator Trials

Spinal cord stimulation (also called SCS) uses electrical impulses to travel and potentially block pain signals in various parts of the body including but not limited to the spine and extremities.

Electrodiagnostic Testing (NCV/EMG)

This is a test which measures the activity of your muscles and nerves. Part one is a nerve conduction study (NCV) that provides an electrical stimulus which can be measured to study the electrical conductivity of your nerves.  The second part is a needle electromyogram (EMG). It measures the electrical output of your muscles and provides critical data of how the muscles and nerves are working together.

PRP Injections

This is an injection of your body's own products (Blood and Platelets), which are isolated using a centrifuge device. There have been many publications in scientific literature suggesting that PRP may or could contribute to the healing process. One paper in particular suggested that cartilage in the knee can potentially be expanded with the use of PRP.

Other Services

Pain Care Physicians offers many other services which may be appropriate depending on your needs. These options will be discussed during your visit with us.

Electrodiagnostic Testing - NCV/EMG for Radiculopathy, Plexo

This outpatient diagnostic test is used to evaluate the health of muscles and the nerves, called motor neurons, which control the muscles. EMG is a valuable diagnostic device for determining the cause of muscle weakness and for identifying neurologic disorders.

Tips for the day of procedure:

  • Wear comfortable shorts and short sleeve t-shirt.
  • Leave jewelry at home.
  • If you take blood thinners, you may opt not to take them for 24 hours prior to procedure if it’s okay with the prescribing doctor. Expect some bruising.
  • You may take all your medications, eat, and drink as normal prior to procedure.
  • You may drive yourself to this procedure.

Lumbar Discography

Discography, also called discogram, is a diagnostic procedure used to determine if back pain is caused by one or more discs. The procedure involves pressurizing discs with an injection of sterile liquid to induce pain in the affected discs. Discography helps the specialist plan a course of treatment.

Sympathetic Blocks - Cervical, Thoracic, and Lumbar

This procedure is performed to relieve leg pain caused by complex regional pain syndromes, which may develop after an injury to a joint or limb. Usually a series of injections are needed to treat the problem.

Facet Injections / Medial Branch Blocks - Cervical, Thoracic

Each vertebra in the spine is connected to the vertebra above and below it by facet joints, which are located on both sides of the rear of the spine. A facet joint block can be both diagnostic and therapeutic for back or neck pain. A facet joint block injection can confirm whether the facet joints are indeed the source of pain and can help relieve the pain and inflammation.

Sacroiliac Joint Injections (SIJ Injections)

This injection procedure is performed to relieve pain caused by arthritis in the sacroiliac joint where the spine and hip bone meet. The steroid medication can reduce swelling and inflammation in the joint.

Routine Epidural Steroid Injections - Cervical, Thoracic, an

This injection procedure is performed to relieve pain caused by arthritis in the sacroiliac joint where the spine and hip bone meet. The steroid medication can reduce swelling and inflammation in the joint.

Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injections - Cervical, Thora

This injection procedure is performed to relieve low back and radiating leg pain. The steroid medication can reduce the swelling and inflammation caused by spinal conditions such as spinal stenosis, radiculopathy, sciatica and herniated discs.

Radiofrequency Thermal Coagulation (RFTC) - Cervical , Thora

This minimally-invasive procedure, also called radiofrequency (RF) rhizotomy, reduces or eliminates the pain of damaged facet joints by disrupting the medial branch nerves that carry the pain signals. This procedure is performed with local anesthetic.

Radiofrequency Thermal Coagulation (RFTC) - Cervical , Thora

Spinal cord stimulation (also called SCS) uses electrical impulses to relieve chronic pain of the back, arms and legs. It is believed that electrical pulses prevent pain signals from being received by the brain. SCS candidates include people who suffer from neuropathic pain and for whom conservative treatments have failed.
