The patient process begins with a thorough patient evaluation, and a complete physical examination including any diagnostic tests that might be needed. Our staff will treat you with the most modern techniques in a compassionate manner. Your treatment plan may include a single therapy or a combination of numerous effective therapies. The Pain Solutions Treatment Center offers both conservative treatment as well as interventional procedures.  The following are some common treatments offered: 

• Epidural Injection - An outpatient/office procedure that involves placement of anti-inflammatory agents into the epidural space to reduce disc and nerve inflammation, producing relief.
• Therapeutic nerve blocks are outpatient/office procedures where local anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication injections are given near a specific nerve or group of nerves to relieve pain.
• Intercostal nerve block - An injection of a local anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication in the area between two ribs. An intercostal nerve block is performed for pain due to herpes zoster (commonly known as shingles), an acute viral infection that causes inflammation of the nerves that spread outward from the spine. It may also be performed for pain caused from a surgical incision in the chest area or to help determine the cause of your pain. (Diagnostic nerve block)
• Lumbar Sympathetic Block - An injection of local anesthetic around a group of nerves in your lower back. It may be done if you have complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), a disease involving a disturbance of circulation to the skin or neuropathic pain (pain caused by a disorder of the nervous system).
• Facet Nerve Block - An injection of anti-inflammatory and anesthetic medication in and around the facet joint area to reduce the swelling around the nerve. This is performed if your doctor suspects that your neck or lower back pain may be caused in part by the small facet joints of the spine (Facet joints are located on the side of your spine, away from the spinal cord.).
• Celiac Plexus Block - An injection of anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication around the group of nerves (celiac plexus) that affect the abdominal region. This is performed most commonly for the treatment of upper abdominal pain which can be due to cancer or chronic pancreatitis.
• Stellate Ganglion Block - An injection of anesthetic medication around the collection of nerves that affect the upper limb. This may be performed to decrease pain and increase the circulation and blood supply to the affected limb. A stellate ganglion may be performed for people who have circulation problems or the following nerve injuries: Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), Causalgia, and Herpes Zoster
