Key Procedures Performed on an Outpatient Basis
Our state-of-the-art outpatient facility is equipped to perform various advanced interventional pain management procedures. These treatments are designed to provide effective pain relief while allowing patients to return home the same day.
Epidural Steroid Injections: Often used for conditions like herniated discs and spinal stenosis, epidural steroid injections reduce inflammation and provide substantial pain relief.
Facet Joint Injections: These injections target the small joints in the spine to alleviate pain from arthritis or injury in the neck or lower back.
Spinal Cord Stimulation: This innovative technique uses electrical impulses to interrupt pain signals to the brain, providing relief from chronic pain conditions.
