Interventional Pain Procedures
Radio Frequency Ablation
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA), or radiofrequency neurotomy, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses radio waves to generate heat, selectively damaging nerve tissue. This process interrupts pain signals sent to the brain, providing relief for individuals with chronic pain, particularly in the neck, lower back, and arthritic joints like knees and shoulders. Many patients experience significant and lasting pain relief, improving their quality of life.
Fluoroscopy and Ultrasound Steroid Injection
Steroid injections are a helpful treatment to reduce pain and inflammation in the affected body part. They work by delivering medication directly to the affected area using ultrasound or fluoroscopy, providing relief and improving mobility. This treatment is often used for conditions like bursitis, tendinitis, and arthritis, and can be a key part of a comprehensive care plan that includes physical therapy and other therapies to promote healing and comfort.
Ultrasound Guided Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Injection
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment involves injecting a concentrated form of your own blood platelets into the affected area such as tendons, muscles and joints. These platelets release growth factors that can help reduce inflammation and promote healing.
