Interventional Procedures
Minimally invasive treatments for targeted pain relief
Interventional spine procedures offer effective alternatives to surgery, providing targeted pain relief with minimal downtime. All procedures are performed using fluoroscopic or ultrasound guidance for maximum precision and safety.
These minimally invasive techniques allow us to deliver medication directly to the source of your pain or to interrupt pain signals, providing significant relief for many patients.
Our Procedures
Clear explanations of each procedure we offer
Epidural Injections
Anti-inflammatory medication delivered directly to the epidural space around the spinal cord and nerve roots.

Benefits: Reduces inflammation, significant pain relief, improved mobility
Facet Injections
Targets small joints in the back of the spine that can become inflamed and painful.
Benefits: Diagnostic and therapeutic, reduces inflammation, improves range of motion
Radiofrequency Ablation
Uses heat from radio waves to interrupt pain signals from specific nerves.
Benefits: Long-term relief (6-12 months), minimal recovery, reduced medication needs
Joint Injections
Medication delivered directly into affected joints for targeted relief.
Treats: Shoulder, hip, knee, and other joint conditions
Benefits: Immediate relief, improved function
Nerve Blocks
Anesthetic or anti-inflammatory medication injected near specific nerves to block pain signals.
Benefits: Diagnostic and therapeutic, identifies pain sources while providing relief
Guidance Technology
All procedures performed with advanced imaging guidance for maximum precision and safety.
Guidance: Fluoroscopic (real-time X-ray) and ultrasound imaging
Benefits: Precise needle placement, enhanced safety, reduced procedure time
