Their focus is on diagnosing the origin of the patient's pain to meet the optimum goal of eliminating pain or, at a minimum, enhancing the patient's ability to manage his or her pain and function more effectively in every day living.

The Primary procedures performed in the facility are termed interventional or minimally invasive pain management procedures. These include some of the latest techniques for addressing spine pain such as:

• Vertebroplasty
• Nucleoplasty
• Epidural and facet injections
• Selective nerve root blocks
• Provocative discography
• Intradiscal Electrothermal Therapy (IDET)
• Radiofrequency neuroablation
• Sympathetic nerve blocks
• Neuroma and trigger point injections

With the help of fluoroscopic guidance, our physician's success rate is greatly enhanced with the above procedures. Additionally, the physicians are continually attending educational sessions, networking with other colleagues and researching clinical trials to stay abreast of the latest techniques in their field.
