Procedures
Our pain medicine specialists offer a variety of procedures, including:
Basivertebral nerve ablation
This minimally invasive treatment can help relieve chronic lower back pain caused by intervertebral disc and vertebral endplate degeneration. This is an option after trying medications, physical therapy, weight control and other noninvasive therapies. The physician uses radiofrequency energy to destroy the nerve causing the pain, which stops pain signals from reaching your brain.
Radiofrequency ablation
This minimally invasive outpatient procedure, sometimes called radiofrequency neurotomy, can treat various areas of pain, including neck, back, buttocks, knee and hip. The physician uses electrical energy to create a lesion on a specifically targeted nerve causing the pain, which blocks or interrupts the signals sent to your brain.
Spinal cord stimulation
This nerve stimulation device can help reduce chronic pain and reliance on medications. The physician implants stimulation wires and a small generator under the skin, similar to a pacemaker. The generator delivers mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord to reduce the pain signals that travel through the spinal cord to the brain.
