During our interventional pain care, patients are given a
thorough evaluation to determine the source of their pain,
and medically-responsible treatment plans are tailored to
each patient. The type of treatment options recommended by
our interventional pain specialists is based on the
location, source, and severity of your pain. We first use
technologically advanced equipment to diagnose the source,
we then customize a goal-oriented treatment plan focused on
your timely and safe return to an active lifestyle.

Treatments Available:
Viscosupplementation
Viscosupplementation is a procedure that involves a live
x-ray guided injection of natural and synthetic gel-like
fluid into the knee joint. Also known as hyaluronates, they
work to
provide a higher level of viscosity within the knee. By
increasing the lubrication in the knee joint, this will
eliminate the friction from bone and cartilage thus
eliminating pain.
Research indicates that continued use of
viscosupplementation decreases knee pain and can slow down
the worsening of knee arthritis. The procedure is almost
always
covered by insurance and Medicare.
Regenerative PRP Growth Factor Injections
Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP is blood plasma with
concentrated platelets. The concentrated platelets found in
PRP contain huge reservoirs of bioactive proteins, including
growth factors that are vital to initiate and accelerate
tissue repair and regeneration. These bioactive proteins
initiate:
-
Connective tissue healing in bone
-
Tendon and ligament regeneration and repair
-
The development of new blood vessels
-
Stimulation of the wound healing process
It may take several weeks for PRP injections to begin
working. We recommend a series of 3 injections roughly 3-4
weeks apart. Though outcomes vary from patient to patient,
most patients feel significant improvement with long-lasting
results.
Trigger Point Injections
Trigger points are uncomfortable knots that form in the
muscles. These knots are felt beneath the skin and cause
radiating pain due to irritation of the surrounding nerves.
We offer the widest array of trigger point medications from
typical cortisone to alternatives such as plant extract
injections, sterile glucose-based solutions, and Botox.
Trigger point injections have been able to release years of
chronic pain with relief felt after just one injection and
often a complete resolution of pain after a limited series
of
injections, allowing the nervous system to re-train itself.
Trigger Point Injections can be combined with other
treatments based on your specific condition. Our medical
professionals will develop a treatment plan personalized to
you.
