TREATMENTS FOR BACK CONDITIONS
Vertebroplasty / Kyphoplasty / Sacroplasty
BACK CONDITIONS it Treats
OTHER TREATED CONDITIONS
More About Vertebroplasty / Kyphoplasty / Sacroplasty
● Vertebroplasty: This technique involves inserting polymethylmethacrylate into the bone of the collapsed vertebra with the needle and syringe under the guidance of X-ray. This technique is performed to stabilize the fracture and prevent further collapse.
● Kyphoplasty: In this procedure, a large needle is introduced into the spine with a balloon called a bone tamp and inflated until it expands to the desired height. The space created is then filled with or injected with orthopaedic cement called polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA).
This procedure restores the height of the vertebrae and reduces the deformity.
● Sacroplasty: In this procedure, cement is introduced into the sacral bone at the base of the spine to treat a compression fracture. This procedure reduces pain and improves the stability of the sacrum, which is part of the pelvic structure.
Facet Injection

OTHER TREATED CONDITIONS
More About Intrathecal Pump Placement
This targeted approach allows for more precise dosing of drugs than traditional methods, and can provide lasting relief from chronic pain. Intrathecal Pump Placement also offers the added benefit of reducing opioid use, as well as reducing potential side effects associated with long-term medication use.
The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes about an hour to complete. Pain relief can vary depending on the severity of the condition being treated, but most people report significant improvements in their symptoms after a few weeks.

Additional Back Treatments
Peripheral Nerve Blocks
Peripheral nerve blocks are a type of pain relief solution used to block the transmission of pain signals from peripheral nerves. The procedure involves injecting an anesthetic or steroid medication around the affected nerve, providing immediate and long-lasting relief from chronic pain.
More about peripheral nerve blocks
Pain relief typically lasts between four to eight hours per injection, but may be prolonged depending on the type of medication used. Peripheral nerve blocks have been found to be safe and effective in treating chronic pain from many sources, including sports injuries, arthritis, sciatica, post-surgical pain, and fibromyalgia.
The procedure is minimally invasive and typically performed with local or general anesthesia.BACK CONDITIONS IT TREATS
OTHER TREATED CONDITIONS
PERIPHERAL NERVE STIMULATION TREATMENT
Peripheral Nerve Stimulation Treatment, or PNS, is a type of pain relief therapy that can be used to treat chronic pain conditions. This treatment involves stimulating the peripheral nerves in order to block the transmission of pain signals from reaching the brain. Pain solutions that use this technique have been found to be effective in reducing pain levels and improving quality of life for those suffering from chronic pain.
More about PERIPHERAL NERVE STIMULATION TREATMENT
The treatment process begins with an assessment of the patient's medical history and present condition in order to determine if PNS will be a suitable solution for their pain relief. Pain specialists may also use imaging technologies such as X-rays, MRI scans, or ultrasound to examine the affected area further.
Pain relief is achieved by applying a mild electrical current to the peripheral nerves, which creates an effect that prevents pain signals from reaching the brain.BACK CONDITIONS IT TREATS

Interspinous Spacer/Fusion
Interspinous Spacer/Fusion is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat chronic lower back pain. It’s designed to reduce pressure on the nerves in the spine. This procedure can provide lasting relief for those who suffer from debilitating pain due to degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and sciatica.
More about Interspinous Spacer/Fusion
It’s a viable option for those who have not responded to traditional pain relief solutions such as physical therapy and medications.
During the procedure, surgeons insert an interspinous spacer between two adjacent spinous processes of the spine. This device helps to keep the nerves in the spine from being compressed, thus providing relief from chronic pain. Additionally, the spacer can also provide stabilization which may be beneficial for those with unstable spinal segments.
The surgeon may choose to fuse certain vertebrae together using instrumentation such as rods and screws. This procedure is done when stabilization of the spine is needed in order to relieve pain.BACK CONDITIONS IT TREATS
MILD Procedure
The MILD Procedure is a safe, non-invasive procedure that provides lasting pain solutions. It uses an innovative technology called radiofrequency ablation (RFA) to target and treat damaged nerves in the body. The procedure is able to selectively block or reduce the nerve signals that transmit painful sensations, providing long lasting relief for chronic pain conditions.
More about MILD Procedure
This in turn allows patients to improve their daily quality of life. The procedure is minimally-invasive and typically takes less than an hour, with results lasting up to 18 months or longer. In addition, the MILD Procedure has a very low complication rate and no long-term side effects have been reported so far.
It is important to note that the MILD Procedure is not suitable for everyone and a physician should be consulted prior to undergoing this treatment. The procedure is also used in combination with other treatments such as physical therapy, medications and lifestyle changes to maximize pain relief.BACK CONDITIONS IT TREATS

Medial Branch Block
BACK CONDITIONS it Treats
OTHER TREATED CONDITIONS
Medial branch block is a type of pain solution used to reduce discomfort in the facet joints. It involves injecting anesthetic and/or steroid medications into the medial branches, which are nerves that transmit pain signals from the facet joints. The medication blocks the transmission of those pain signals, reducing or eliminating the patient’s discomfort.
This procedure is often used to diagnose certain pain syndromes and can be repeated and adjusted as necessary.
More About Medial Branch Block
Medial branch block is a safe, effective solution for patients who suffer from chronic facet joint pain. The procedure typically takes about 15 minutes and can provide relief for up to several months.
It is important to note that while this procedure may bring short-term relief, it is not a long-term solution for chronic pain. Patients who are considering this procedure should consult their doctor to determine if it is the best option for them.
Spine Myelogram (CT or MR based)
BACK CONDITIONS it Treats
A Spine Myelogram is a medical imaging procedure that provides specific information about the spinal cord, its surrounding structures and the space inside the vertebral column. It involves injecting contrast dye into the subarachnoid space to help visualize areas of compression or damage on imaging scans such as CT or MR.
Spine Myelogram is most commonly used to diagnose the cause of pain, such as a herniated disc or spinal tumor. The procedure can also be used to identify any narrowing of the spinal canal that may be causing pressure on the nerves.

Epidural Blood/Fibrin Glue Patch
BACK CONDITIONS it Treats
OTHER TREATED CONDITIONS
The Epidural Blood/Fibrin Glue Patch is a minimally invasive technique used to reduce pain in the spine. It involves the injection of a fibrin glue, made from autologous blood and thrombin, into an epidural space around nerve roots affected by spinal disorders such as herniated discs or degenerative disc disease.
This patch seals the epidural space, helping to reduce inflammation and protect nerve tissue from further damage. Pain relief is usually achieved quickly with minimal side effects and a shorter recovery time than traditional treatments.
More About Epidural Blood/Fibrin Glue Patch
This technique can be used in combination with other pain management solutions such as physical therapy or medications. The Epidural Blood/Fibrin Glue Patch is a promising option for those seeking relief from chronic spinal pain. It may be the perfect solution for those looking to reduce their pain and improve their quality of life.
