How we decide what to recommend
01
Diagnose first
Diagnostic blocks and imaging confirm the pain generator before any long-term treatment is offered.
02
Least invasive that works
We start with the option carrying the lowest risk and the strongest evidence for your specific diagnosis.
03
Trial before permanent
Neuromodulation is trialed temporarily so you know the benefit before anything is implanted.
04
Measure function
Success is measured in what you can do again — not only in a pain score.
