Setting You Up for Success

We have learned over the years that while opioids are the mainstay of treatment for cancer pain, there are little to no randomized controlled trials revealing an improvement in functional outcomes or even pain scores with chronic opioid therapy in the non-cancer pain population. In fact, many articles suggest a "downward spiral" in chronic opioid pain patients, with actual worsening pain scores, higher opioid use, decreased functionality, and worsening psychiatric comorbidity in those chronic pain patients treated with opioid therapy. Because of this, we strive to provide proven alternatives to opioid medications. These may include non-opioid medications, physical therapy, pain coping skills training, and injections when appropriate.
The most common types of pain we treat include:

  • Back pain
  • Neck pain
  • Pain that radiates into shoulders and/or arms
  • Pain that radiates into hips and/or legs
  • Sciatica
  • Joint pain (knees, hips, shoulders, etc.)
  • Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
  • Some of the procedures we perform include:
  • Cervical Epidural Steroid Injections (ESI)
  • Cervical Medial Branch Blocks (MBB)
  • Cervical Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
  • Thoracic ESI
  • Lumbar ESI
  • Lumbar MBB
  • Lumbar RFA
  • Caudal ESI
  • Sacroiliac joint injections
  • Vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty
