Pain Management & Palliative Care
Treatment Options for Pain Management:
- Epidural Steroid Injections – for radicular pain in the legs
- Epidural Steroid Injections – for radicular pain in the legs
- Intercostal Nerve Block
- Lumbar Sympathetic Ganglion Injections – used for complex regional pain syndrome in the legs
- Spinal Facet Joint Injections – performed for neck or lower back pain
- Celiac Plexus & Hypogastric plexus Blocks – performed for the treatment of abdominal pain, most often due to cancer or chronic pancreatitis
- Stellate Ganglion Block (Cervical Spine) – for certain pain syndrome affecting the upper extremities
- Trigger Point Injections – performed for myofascial pain, Spinal Cord Stimulation (Neuroaugmentation) – A surgically placed electronic device in the patient’s back that emits small amounts of electrical stimulation The electrical impulses act to alleviate pain
- Ganglion of Impar Block
- Trigeminal Rhizotomy – for facial pain
- Selective Nerve Root Injections – used to localize pain from a specific nerve in the spines
Our Advanced Therapies Of Pain Management
- Radiofrequency Ablation: the targeted heat destruction of a nerve to alleviate pain. These procedures are most commonly performed on paravertebral facet joint nerves (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, or sacral).
- Intrathecal Morphine Pump Implant: For management of severe intractable pain. Reduces the dose of Morphine drastically. The battery has a prolonged life. A patient can go anywhere in the world between refills once a month.
- Spinal Cord Stimulation (Neuroaugmentation): Based on Gate–control theory. A surgically placed electronic device in the patient’s back emits small amounts of electrical stimulation. The electrical impulses act to alleviate pain. For intractable neuropathic pain and peripheral vascular disease.
