缓解疼痛的注射

Our board-certified anesthesiologists are skilled at delivering many types of injections. These procedures relieve pain, reduce inflammation and block overactive nerve signals. They work on the spine, inside the joints and on nerves all over the body. Injections also help your doctor diagnose pain by determining exactly where it’s coming from. These treatments are extremely effective and safe. 我们的医生提供:

• 神经: We inject numbing medication or anti-inflammatory medication directly into the source of pain. These procedures include epidural injections to relieve neck and back pain.

• 联合注射: We administer corticosteroid medication to relieve pain in joints throughout the body.
• 触发点注射: Trigger points are muscle knots that develop when the muscles can’t relax. These injections relieve muscle and tissue discomfort from fibromyalgia and myofascial pain.
• 肉毒杆菌注射®: These reduce pain from migraines and muscle spasticity by blocking the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract.

Kyphoplasty

Kyphoplasty is a procedure to treat compression fractures in the spine. Using a hollow needle, we inject a type of cement into damaged vertebra. This procedure stabilizes the fractured bone and relieves pain.

射频消融术

射频消融术, 也叫神经切断术或神经根切断术, targets specific nerves without damaging other tissues. We use radio waves and safe doses of electrical currents to destroy nerves that are causing pain.

植入泵

Our experts may recommend an implantable pump to treat severe back pain, 腹痛和肌肉痉挛. We insert a pump, which is about the size of a hockey puck, during surgery. The pump slowly releases a steady dose of pain medication into the fluid-filled area around the spinal cord, providing consistent relief from pain.

脊髓刺激

This technique helps people with chronic back pain or pain in the arms or legs. We insert a pulse generator under the skin that delivers a low-voltage current to the spine. The current blocks the feeling of pain. You adjust the current depending on your level of pain.
