Injection-Based Therapies We Offer

We offer a range of injection-based therapies designed to target pain at its source, reduce inflammation, relieve muscle tension, and improve mobility, including the following treatments available at our clinic:

1. Epidural Steroid Injections

Epidural steroid injections are commonly used to reduce inflammation and pain in the spine. This type of injection delivers medication directly into the epidural space around the spinal nerves. It can relieve pain caused by herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or nerve irritation.

Our pain management specialists uses advanced imaging techniques to guide the injection, allowing for accurate placement and maximum benefit. Patients often experience relief that helps them participate in physical therapy or daily activities more comfortably.

    2. Cervical Epidural Injections

    Our team uses cervical epidural injections to treat pain in the neck or pain that radiates into the arms. These injections target the cervical spine and surrounding nerves to reduce inflammation and discomfort.

    Neck pain can result from herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, or injuries. By reducing inflammation around the nerve roots, cervical epidural injections can provide significant relief and improve function.

    Our clinic monitors patients during and after the procedure to maintain safety and comfort.

    3. Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Injections

    Pain in the lower back and hips can sometimes originate from the sacroiliac joint. SI joint injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly into this joint to relieve pain and improve mobility. Our pain management doctors often recommends these injections for patients with chronic lower back pain, arthritis, or injury-related discomfort.

    Our team uses precise imaging guidance to accurately target the SI joint, helping patients experience effective relief and regain comfort in their daily lives.

    4. Lumbar Epidural Injections

    Lumbar epidural injections focus on the lower spine and are used to treat pain that radiates into the legs or buttocks. Conditions such as sciatica, spinal stenosis, or herniated discs often respond well to these treatments.

    By reducing inflammation around the affected nerves, lumbar epidural injections can improve mobility and reduce dependence on oral pain medications.

    Our specialists provides these injections with careful attention to technique and patient comfort, making the process as smooth and effective as possible.

    5. Trigger Point Injections

    Trigger point injections target tight, sensitive muscle knots known as trigger points that can cause localized pain or pain that radiates to other areas of the body. These injections help relax the affected muscle, reduce pain, and restore normal movement.

    We often use a local anesthetic such as lidocaine and, when appropriate, a small amount of steroid to help reduce inflammation. The procedure is performed in the office, and many patients experience relief soon after treatment.

    6. Trigger Point Therapy

    Trigger point therapy combines injections with complementary treatments such as stretching, massage techniques, and guided exercises to address both muscle tension and its underlying causes.

    By improving flexibility, circulation, and muscle function, trigger point therapy helps break the cycle of chronic pain and muscle spasms. This comprehensive approach can reduce flare-ups, support long-term recovery, and help patients return to their normal activities with greater comfort.
