Treatments
Alleviate Your Pain.
Chronic pain can limit your life. With accurate diagnosis and treatment. The severity of your pain and the frequency with which it occurs can be reduced. Everyone’s pain is different, and what reduces or relieves pain for one patient may not work for another. To provide patients with the best opportunity for pain relief, NY SPINE CARE offers wide variety treatment options, including procedures, surgeries, medications and behavioral therapy.
Common Types of Treatments for Pain Management
Treats radiating pain; deposit the medication, typically steroids in the epidural space of the spine.
+ Nerve root block injections
Target a specific spinal nerve and deposit medication around the nerve at the point where it exits the intervertebral foramen (bony opening between adjacent vertebrae).
+ Facet joint injections
Treat pain stemming from a specific facet joint.
Deposit medication around the medial branches of spinal nerves. The medial branch is a nerve that sends pain signals to the brain from an arthritic facet joint. An injection directed around the medial branch can relieve neck and lower back pain.
+ Sacroiliac (SI) joint injections
Treat pain originating from the SI joint, which connects the spine to the pelvis.
+ Radiofrequency ablation (RFA)
Treats pain by lesioning medial branch nerves of the facet joints.
*Pain relief from these injections may occur within a few hours or may take 1 to 2 weeks to take effect, such as in RFA. Initially, there may be some restriction of physical activity, following which, routine activities may be resumed. These treatment injections are commonly used in combination with physical therapy to strengthen the surrounding muscles and restore mobility.
