Pain Management

Pain is eliminated by restoring normal function. Treatment methods may include:

• *Fluoroscopy and ultrasound guided nerve blockade to make accurate diagnosis and restore function of injured nerve.

• *Radiofrequency nerve ablation under fluoroscopic or ultrasonic guidence to treat neurogenic inflammation.

• *Fluoroscopy and ultrasound guided peripheral joint injections.

• *Prolotherapy to improve blood supply and strengthen ligaments and muscle tendons.

• *Needling and infiltration taut muscle bands with local anesthetic to help elongate shortening muscles and restore their normal function.

• *Botox injections to relieve muscle spasms for a period of 3 to 6 months.

• ** Also Manual Medicine, Physical Therapy, and Acupuncture are organic parts of the rehabilitation process.
