PROCEDURES:

Diagnostic and therapeutic facet joint blocks and epidural injections for neck and low back pain and radiculopathy, arthrocentesis, corticosteroid injections, peripheral nerve blocks, cyst aspiration, regenerative therapies.

SOME OF THE CONDITIONS TREATED:

Spondylosis, myofascial pain syndrome, Morton's neuroma, metatarsalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, osteoarthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, radiculitis, fibromyalgia, joint pain and stiffness.

Interventional regenerative modalities for painful musculoskeletal pathologies are effective treatment options for chronic pain originating from joint and myoligamentous tissue.  Many of these injuries occur after forces lead to failure of connective tissue, which results in poorly healed tissue or tissue that is more susceptible to injury.  For example, ruptured or strained ligaments, tendons, fasciae, fractures, or discs result from tissue that did not properly heal.  If left untreated, pathology due to post-traumatic and overuse injuries may lead to posttraumatic changes in the intervertebral disc, ligaments, tendons, aponeuroses, fasciae, sacroiliac, and zygapophyseal (facet) joint capsular ligaments.  These changes may linger indefinitely.  If left untreated, this may lead to progression of degenerative changes, loss of function, deconditioning, and perpetuation of disability and chronic pain.

The coexistence of physical and chemical methods is well denostrated in the contemporary paractice of dermatology and plastic surgery, weher chemical and laser-induced facial peels are used for regernation and rejuvenation by chemo- and theramomodulation of the skin collagen.  Regenrative Injection Therapy (RIT) is also known as prolotherapy. The injection techniques are advocated by the American Academy of Pain management, American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians, International Spinal Injection Society, and the International Associateion for the Study of Pain.
