TREATMENTS FOR MUSCLE AND JOINTS CONDITIONS


Spinal Biopsy

MUSCLE AND JOINTS CONDITIONS it Treats

● Back Pain



A biopsy is a diagnostic procedure to evaluate unusual growths or suspicious tissue in the body. The procedure involves removal of a piece of tissue or cells from the area of concern which are sent to a laboratory for microscopic examination. 
Spinal biopsy is performed to diagnose spinal tumors, an abnormal growth of uncontrolled tissues or cells in and around the spinal cord. The procedure is done under local anesthesia with the patient lying on his or her abdomen. A sample of tissue is removed by inserting a needle using imaging techniques through the skin and directly into the spinal cord. Intravenous (IV) pain and sedative medication also may be given.

Facet Injection

MUSCLE AND JOINTS CONDITIONS it Treats

● Back Pain● Spinal Arthritis● Neck Pain

OTHER TREATED CONDITIONS

● Interventional Headaches

Facet injection is a minimally invasive treatment that delivers pain-relieving medicine directly to the facet joints in the spine. The procedure involves inserting a needle into the joint and injecting anesthetic, steroidal medicine, or both into the tissue adjacent to the nerve root. 
Pain relief may be experienced immediately following the injection and can last for up to several months. This makes Facet injection an attractive and effective solution for those who suffer from chronic pain in the back and neck areas. 

  • More About Facet Injections

    The procedure is minimally invasive and can be done in a doctor's office or outpatient clinic. Potential side effects are rare and typically minor in nature. Pain relief from facet injection can help to improve mobility, reduce inflammation, and provide lasting relief from chronic pain conditions. 
    Facet injection offers an excellent solution for those seeking safe and effective pain relief.

Vertebroplasty / Kyphoplasty / Sacroplasty / Cementoplasty

MUSCLE AND JOINTS CONDITIONS IT TREATS

● Back Pain

OTHER TREATED CONDITIONS

● Osteoporosis● Vertebral Compression Fracture

Cementoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat pain in the bones, joints, and muscles. This procedure involves injecting a special type of cement into the affected area. The cement hardens and forms a support structure that helps to stabilize the bone and relieve pain.

  • More About Vertebroplasty / Kyphoplasty / Sacroplasty / Cementoplasty

    ● 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.

Radiofrequency Ablation

Radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive procedure used to reduce pain and improve mobility by delivering electrical energy through a needle-like electrode to precisely target specific nerves. This procedure can be used as a solution for chronic pain conditions such as lower back or neck pain, nerve damage, arthritis, and fibromyalgia.

By delivering a burst of electrical energy, the nerve is ablated or destroyed in the affected area. Pain signals from the nerves are no longer able to reach the brain and the sensation of pain is relieved. The results are usually long-term, with some patients reporting relief for up to several years after their treatment.

  • More About Radiofrequency Ablation

    RFA is a safe and effective procedure with minimal risk of side effects. The procedure is typically done under local anesthesia, so patients experience little to no pain or discomfort during treatment. Patients usually experience temporary relief within hours after the procedure and long-term relief within a few weeks.

Spinal Cord Stimulator

MUSCLE AND JOINTS CONDITIONS IT TREATS

● Neck Pain● Hip Pain● Knee Pain

A spinal cord stimulator (SCS) is a device used to treat chronic pain. It sends electrical signals to the brain, which can disrupt and reduce pain signals sent from the body. SCS may be an effective pain solution for those who have not responded well to other treatments, such as surgery or medications.
It is implanted through a small incision in the back and connected to electrodes that are placed near the spinal cord. SCS can be used to treat a variety of pain conditions, including chronic back or neck pain, nerve damage, failed back surgery syndrome, and even complex regional pain syndrome. 

  • More About Spinal Cord Stimulator

    The implantation of an SCS requires careful planning and attention to detail. Patients are typically evaluated by a team of doctors that includes an interventional pain management doctor, neurosurgeon, and neurologist. This process helps ensure that the patient is a good candidate for SCS and it will be successful in reducing their pain.

Sacroiliac Joint Fusion

MUSCLE AND JOINTS CONDITIONS IT TREATS

● Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

Sacroiliac Joint Fusion treatment is a spinal surgery that involves the fusion of the sacroiliac joint (SIJ), which is located in the lower back. This treatment helps to reduce pain caused by abnormal movements/instability at this joint. Generally, it's performed when more conservative treatment methods like physical therapy and medications have failed to provide relief.

In general, the treatment involves surgically connecting two bones in the lower back, which creates a permanent joint. The fused bones are held together with screws and/or rods for stability. This treatment can be done as an open surgery or a minimally invasive procedure. In some cases, a bone graft may also be used to help the fusion process.

  • More About Sacroiliac Joint Fusion

    Overall, Sacroiliac Joint Fusion treatment is effective in providing long-term pain relief for those suffering from instability and pain related to SI joint dysfunction. However, it's important to note that the procedure can cause some complications, such as infection or nerve damage. It's important to discuss all potential risks and benefits with your doctor before undergoing treatment.

    It's also important to follow all post-operative instructions closely in order to ensure a successful treatment outcome.

SI Joint Injection

MUSCLE AND JOINTS CONDITIONS IT TREATS

● Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

SI Joint injection is a treatment option for Sacroiliac joint pain, which is located in the lower back. It involves injecting a corticosteroid and anesthetic into the joint to reduce inflammation and decrease pain. The procedure can be done in an outpatient setting with local anesthesia and requires only a few minutes to complete. Afterward, the patient may experience some soreness in the area which usually resolves within a few days.

This treatment option can provide relief from pain for several months, but it does not necessarily cure the underlying cause of the condition. It is important to discuss all treatment options with your healthcare provider before making any decisions.

  • More About SI Joint Injection

    In some cases, SI joint injection may be combined with physical therapy or other treatments for best results. It is important to follow the treatment plan prescribed by your healthcare provider in order to ensure that the treatment is effective and safe.

    SI joint injections are generally considered safe and have few side effects. However, as with any treatment, there is a risk of allergic reaction or infection, so it's important to follow the instructions given by your healthcare provider.

Trigger Point Injections

MUSCLE AND JOINTS CONDITIONS IT TREATS

● Muscle & Joint Pain● Sprained & Pulled Muscles

Trigger Point Injections are a popular form of physical therapy used to provide pain relief. These injections utilize a specific concentration of anesthetics and corticosteroids which is injected into areas of the body that are experiencing muscle tenderness, tightness, or spasms caused by trigger points.

Trigger points are small knots in the fascia, a type of connective tissue, that can cause pain and dysfunction to other areas of the body. By injecting a solution into these trigger points, it helps to break up adhesions in the fascia while also reducing inflammation and relaxing muscle tension. This can provide much needed relief from chronic or acute pain that may be caused by various activities such as sports-related injuries, overuse syndromes, or degenerative joint and muscular diseases. 

  • More About Trigger Point Injections

    Pain solutions such as Trigger Point Injections may also be useful for treating chronic headaches, neck pain, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other musculoskeletal conditions. Ultimately, Trigger Point Injections provide an effective form of pain management to help individuals achieve their desired level of physical function and activity.
