Back Pain can afflict anyone and everyone unfortunately: from those who regularly lift heavy items, to people picking up the grand children; those that regularly exercise and others who's work requires sitting at a desk for a long time..​if you, or someone you care about, are experiencing back pains, we offer examination of the problem and multiple solutions, from minimally invasive treatment to nerve ablation, medications, physical therapy, and more.  Sometime a combination of treatments may be most effective for you and provide comprehensive pain management to our patients.

​

Some of the techniques we use at Texas Pain Specialists included the following:

​

  • Epidural Steroid Injections - These can help relieve back, arm, neck, or leg pain that's caused by inflamed spinal nerves due to disc herniation or spinal stenosis.

  • Facet Joint / Medial Branch Injections - These can treat pain arising from facet joints in the spine.

  • SI Joint Injections - Sacroiliac joint injections / blocks used to either diagnose or treat low back pain or sciatica symptoms associated with sacroiliac joint dysfunction.

  • Radiofrequency Ablation / COOLIEF - A minimally invasive treatment option that targets the nerves that transmit pain signals; also, COOLIEF is FDA-cleared for treating osteoarthritis knee pain.

  • Trigger Point / Muscle Injections - To treat painful areas of muscle that have trigger points, or knots of muscle.

  • Discography / IDET - Discography is a diagnostic procedure done to identify disc problems, and intradiscal electrothermal therapy (IDET) is a complementary treatment for spinal disc - related chronic low back pain.

  • Biacuplasty - A medical procedure that applies heat to reduce chronic back pain that's caused by the intervertebral discs.

  • Kyphoplasty - Vertebral augmentation surgery which treats fractures in the vertebra of the backbone.

  • Vertiflex - The Vertiflex Procedure is a clinically proven, minimally invasive procedure that can offer lasting relief from back and leg pain associated with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS)
