Back and Spine Pain

 

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)
