Conditions we treat

We diagnose the source, then treat it.

We specialize in diagnosing and treating a broad range of chronic and complex pain conditions through advanced, minimally invasive techniques — so you can regain function, improve quality of life, and get back to the activities you enjoy.

01

Lumbar Spine & Low Back Pain

Chronic back pain can affect every part of life. Whether caused by arthritis, disc herniation, or spinal stenosis, we specialize in pinpointing the pain generator and providing targeted treatments that relieve pain and restore mobility.

Common diagnoses

  • Chronic low back pain

  • Herniated or bulging disc
  • Sciatica / lumbar radiculopathy
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Facet joint pain
  • Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Post-laminectomy syndrome
  • Vertebral compression fractures
  • Neurogenic claudication

Common treatments

  • Lumbar epidural steroid injections for disc herniation and nerve irritation
  • Facet joint injections and medial branch blocks to confirm facet-mediated pain

04

Joint & Extremity Pain

Joint pain limits movement and function — whether due to injury, inflammation, or wear and tear. Our interventional treatments can reduce joint inflammation, restore mobility, and delay or prevent the need for surgery.

Common diagnoses

  • Shoulder pain (bursitis, arthritis, rotator cuff injury)
  • Elbow pain (tennis / golfer's elbow)
  • Wrist pain (carpal tunnel syndrome)
  • Hip arthritis or bursitis
  • Knee arthritis or meniscus degeneration
  • Ankle and foot pain (tarsal tunnel, plantar fasciitis)
  • Persistent post-joint-replacement pain

Common treatments

  • Image-guided joint injections (shoulder, hip, knee, ankle) for arthritis and bursitis
  • Viscosupplementation for knee osteoarthritis
  • Genicular nerve blocks and ablation for chronic knee pain
  • Peripheral nerve blocks for shoulder or hip pain syndromes
  • Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or biologic therapies where appropriate
  • Neuromodulation — spinal cord stimulator, dorsal root ganglion, peripheral nerve stimulator

06

Abdominal, Visceral & Pelvic Pain

Pelvic or abdominal pain can stem from nerve injury, surgery, or chronic conditions. Our minimally invasive techniques can reduce inflammation and nerve irritation to restore comfort and daily function.

Common diagnoses

  • Chronic pelvic pain syndrome
  • Endometriosis-related pain
  • Pudendal neuralgia
  • Testicular pain (orchialgia)
  • Chronic abdominal wall pain
  • Post-surgical pelvic or abdominal pain
  • Intercostal neuralgia
  • Post-cholecystectomy or hernia-repair pain

Common treatments

  • Hypogastric block or neurolysis for abdominal or pancreatic pain
  • Superior hypogastric plexus block for pelvic pain syndromes
  • Ganglion impar block for tailbone and perineal pain
  • Ilioinguinal, genitofemoral, or pudendal nerve blocks for nerve entrapment pain
  • Pelvic trigger point injections for muscular components of pain
  • Neuromodulation — spinal cord stimulator, dorsal root ganglion, peripheral nerve stimulator

Muscle, Soft Tissue & Functional Pain

Chronic muscle and soft tissue pain can develop from injury, poor posture, repetitive motion, or stress. These conditions often cause tightness, trigger points, or referred pain that interferes with daily activities. We identify the specific pain generators and address both the muscular and neurological components contributing to your discomfort.

Common diagnoses

  • Myofascial pain syndrome
  • Chronic muscle strain or spasm
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Trigger point and tension-related pain
  • Chronic postural pain
