Advanced Interventional Treatments

​

Facet Joint injections: This involves the Injection of numbing medication and a steroid into the facet joint, which is a small joint located between the vertebrae.

 

Sacroiliac joint injection involves the injection of a numbing medication and a steroid into the joint located between the sacrum and the ilium bones in the pelvis.

 

Trigger Point Injection: This involves injecting a numbing medication and a steroid into a trigger point, which is the knot of muscles that can cause pain and discomfort.

 

Botox For Migraines: This works by limiting muscle movements at the injection site and can be used to treat chronic neck and back pain. The results of treatment typically last up to six months.

 

Ketamine Infusion Injections: Ketamine is a painkiller and anesthetic with a fast action rate and low side effects.

 

Cervical Steroid Injection: The main goal of cervical epidural steroid injections is to help manage chronic pain caused by irritation and inflammation of the spinal nerve roots in your neck (the cervical region of your spine) due to certain conditions or injuries.

 

Medical Branch Nerve Block: The medial branch block procedure temporarily stops the nerves from communicating pain signals to the brain from the joints.

 

Ultrasound Guided Injections: Ultrasound machines allow us to see structures such as tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints in real time for a precise injection delivery. This allows us to safely inject structures that are otherwise difficult to examine and find into the body.

 

Epidural Steroid Injections: A combination of an anesthetic and cortisone steroid solution is injected into the epidural space. Steroids are anti-inflammatory medications that inflamed nerves absorb to decrease swelling and relieve pressure.

 

Medication Management​: While not a long-term solution, we understand the vital role prescription medication plays for some patients who suffer from chronic pain.

Nerve Block: These injections can be used where chronic pain exists, from the neck to the lower back.

 

Joint Immobilization: This technique restricts joint movement, wholly or partially, for a specific period of time and may include cast braces, splints, or slings.

 

Passive/ Active Stretching​: Stretching is extremely important for your body to recover from an injury as it has many proven benefits, including improving joint function as it loosens stiff muscles and other joint tissue, allowing you greater freedom of movement.

 

Tens Unit Therapy​ or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, is a back pain treatment that uses low-voltage electric current to relieve pain. TENS machines produce natural painkillers called endorphins.

These traditional therapies move away from prescription medication use and are performed at our pain management clinic in Houston, open Monday through Friday.

 

We also have a network of trusted healthcare providers whom we may recommend for the following treatments:

 

Acupuncture is a practical, drug-free way of treating pain symptoms and can also be used to prevent disease. Acupuncture can treat signs and symptoms and address the problem’s root cause.

 

Chiropractor: As one of the alternatives to pain-relieving drugs for lower, middle, and upper back pain, we may recommend heat, massage, and chiropractic treatment to help our patients with musculoskeletal-related pains.

 

Physical Therapy: If you have acute pain, we suggest physical therapy to help identify and promote healing and reduce stress in the injured area.

 

Laser Therapy: This can be used in the treatment of back pain, arthritis, muscle strains, fibromyalgia, bursitis, tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, neck and shoulder pain, plantar fasciitis, and golf elbow to provide relief.

 

Psychotherapy: The whole-body approach examines how pain impacts your daily activities, behaviors, thoughts, and emotions.

 

Massage Therapy: We rely on integrative health care approaches that can relieve pain; massage therapy is a safe and effective option.
