Whether you’re dealing with nerve-related discomfort, joint pain, migraines, or spinal issues, our comprehensive list of procedures is designed to meet your specific needs in a comfortable, outpatient setting.

Here’s a closer look at the wide range of procedures we offer. 

Injections: targeted pain relief where you need it most 

We offer a wide variety of injection therapies designed to reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and improve mobility. Common procedures include: 

Epidural steroid injections (ESIs)

These are used to relieve neck, back, or leg pain caused by herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or sciatica. 

Sacroiliac joint injections

This procedure targets lower back and pelvic pain caused by sacroiliac joint dysfunction.

Trigger point injections 

These injections treat painful muscle knots and help reduce referred pain in other areas. 

Lumbar transforaminal epidural steroid injections (TFESIs)

This treatment delivers targeted relief for nerve root inflammation and lumbar radiculopathy. 

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections 

Our PRP injections promote healing in joints, tendons, and soft tissues using your body’s own platelets. 

Botox for migraines or dystonia 

Botox is FDA-approved to prevent chronic migraines and reduce muscle spasms in dystonia. 

Intra-articular and ZilrettaⓇ knee injections

These injections reduce joint inflammation and provide long-lasting relief for knee arthritis.

Greater trochanteric bursa injections 

This procedure helps relieve hip pain from bursitis and tendon inflammation. 

Nerve blocks and radiofrequency ablation (RFA)

Nerve-related pain often requires precision treatments. Our team performs advanced nerve blocks and ablations to interrupt pain signals at the source. Procedures include: 

Medial branch blocks and RFA

These are used to diagnose and treat facet joint pain in the spine. 

Genicular nerve blocks and RFA

These procedures relieve chronic knee pain, especially from osteoarthritis. 

Lumbar sympathetic blocks 

This treatment helps reduce nerve-related pain in the legs, such as from chronic regional pain syndrome (CRPS). 

Intercostal nerve blocks 

These injections relieve pain in your chest or ribs caused by trauma or surgery. 

Stellate ganglion blocks 

This procedure targets nerve pain and certain autonomic dysfunctions in your neck. 

Cluneal, femoral cutaneous, and TAP blocks 

These blocks help relieve pain in the lower back, thighs, and abdominal wall. 

Sphenopalatine ganglion block

This noninvasive nasal procedure treats migraines and facial pain. 

Ganglion impar block 

This block relieves pain in the pelvic or perineal area caused by various conditions like cancer pain, prostatitis, or hemorrhoids. 

Stimulators and advanced pain management techniques

For our patients with chronic, treatment-resistant pain, we also offer implantable and temporary stimulation therapies that work by interrupting pain signals to your brain. Some of these options include: 

• Spinal cord stimulator (SCS)
• Peripheral nerve stimulator (Sprint System) 
• Kyphoplasty
• Intracept procedure

These interventions are particularly effective for individuals with complex pain syndromes or those seeking alternatives to major surgery.

At our ambulatory surgical center, we focus on:

• Minimally invasive procedures
