Advanced Interventional Pain Procedures
-
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
RFA uses radio waves to decrease the ability of the nerve to send pain signals to the brain.
-
Spinal Cord Stimulation, (SCS)
Spinal Cord Stimulation is an FDA approved treatment for a variety of pain problems including sciatic pain, lumbar spine pain, nerve injury pain and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.
-
Peripheral Nerve Stimulation, (PNS)
PNS is a relatively new treatment targeting specific nerves. It is a minimally invasive procedure in which a tiny electrical lead is placed near a nerve to provide stimulation to that nerve. It is FDA approved for treatment of cervical spine pain, low back pain, nerve pain and CRPS, to name a few conditions.
-
Platelet Rich Plasma, (PRP)
PRP therapy is a therapy using the body’s own cells to stimulate healing of musculoskeletal conditions. PRP may be used for knee conditions such as ligament injuries, and sprains. It has also shown promise in rotator cuff tears, plantar fasciitis, back and spine injuries, and tennis elbow.
