Our Comprehensive Pain Management Procedures
At STEMMEE Surgery Center, we specialize in a variety of pain management procedures to target specific areas of discomfort, including the neck, back, joints, and more. Some of our most commonly performed procedures include:
Epidural Steroid Injections (ESI)
Epidural steroid injections are used to alleviate pain and inflammation in the spine by delivering a corticosteroid and anesthetic directly into the epidural space. This procedure is effective for conditions like sciatica, spinal stenosis, and herniated discs.
Facet Joint Injections
This treatment targets the small joints in the spine that often contribute to neck and back pain. By injecting a steroid and anesthetic directly into the facet joint, we can reduce inflammation and relieve pain, improving mobility and function.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
Radiofrequency ablation uses controlled heat to target specific nerves that are responsible for sending pain signals. This procedure can provide long-term relief for chronic pain conditions, including arthritis and nerve pain, particularly in the spine, neck, and joints.
Nerve Blocks
Nerve blocks are injections that contain an anesthetic to interrupt pain signals along targeted nerves. Commonly used for migraines, lower back pain, and pain associated with joint conditions, nerve blocks can help patients experience immediate and substantial pain relief.
Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS)
Spinal cord stimulation involves implanting a small device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord, effectively blocking pain signals from reaching the brain. SCS is an effective option for patients with chronic pain who have not responded well to other treatments.
Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty
For patients suffering from spinal fractures due to osteoporosis or injury, kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty are minimally invasive procedures that involve stabilizing the fracture with bone cement. These procedures can significantly reduce pain and improve spine stability.
Regenerative Medicine Techniques
Stemmee Surgery Center offers regenerative medicine treatments, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and stem cell injections, to promote healing and reduce pain naturally. These therapies are beneficial for joint pain, sports injuries, and tissue damage, allowing patients to recover with minimal downtime.
Joint Injections (Knee, Shoulder, Hip)
Our specialists perform targeted joint injections for areas commonly affected by arthritis and injury, including the knee, shoulder, and hip. By delivering anti-inflammatory medication directly into the joint, patients can experience relief from pain and stiffness.
Conditions We Treat
Our pain management procedures effectively treat a range of conditions, including:
- Arthritis and joint pain
- Sciatica and lower back pain
- Neck pain and spinal stenosis
- Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)
- Nerve pain and neuropathy
- Degenerative disc disease
- Migraines and chronic headaches
Platelet- Rich Plasma Injection
Platelet rich plasma therapy (PRP injection) can help injured joints and other problems. It uses parts of your own blood to reduce pain and speed up healing. PRP may help if you have: meniscus tears in your knee. Rotator cuff tears in your shoulder. Plantar fasciitis in your foot. And injuries in your spine, hip or elbow.
Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression
Stemmee Surgery Center offers regenerative medicine treatments, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and stem cell injections, to promote healing and reduce pain naturally. These therapies are beneficial for joint pain, sports injuries, and tissue damage, allowing patients to recover with minimal downtime.
Surgical Neurotomy/Rhizotomy
Surgical neurotomy, also known as rhizotomy, is a minimally invasive procedure that offers a promising solution for individuals dealing with chronic pain. This technique works by targeting and disrupting the specific nerves responsible for transmitting pain signals to the brain. For those who have not found relief from other pain management methods, neurotomy can offer significant and long-lasting relief by interrupting the pain pathway while preserving the other essential functions of the nerve.
Peripheral Nerve Stimulation
Peripheral nerve stimulation is a therapeutic technique that offers an alternative to spinal cord stimulation by targeting specific peripheral nerves rather than the spinal cord. This method is designed to manage chronic pain that is localized in areas like the arms, legs, or other parts of the body.
