Do I have to live with pain for the rest of my life?
Total Spine and Pain Care
For years, you've been wishing you could turn back time. Forget about running or dancing. You long to move, sit, relax, and simply get out of bed the way you used to - without persistent, excruciating pain in your lower back and spine, neck, head, and more.
The problem seems simple, but you've tried everything to resolve it. From medication to physical therapy, chiropractic to acupuncture, even surgery: nothing seems to work.
We've seen it all before, and we can help.
Pain is a slippery culprit. It's unpredictable and difficult to pinpoint. And it's astoundingly complex - seeping into unexpected places with tear-jerking intensity.
Whether your pain is the result of injury, trauma, illness, stress, or something else, we can liberate you. We see patients before or at the end of their rope - however long and arduous the rope. And we design a plan to reduce or eliminate pain.

Do you suffer from sciatica?
You might benefit from epidural steroids. We'll perform a full neurological evaluation to find out if you're a good candidate.
Do you have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome?
Spinal cord stimulation has performed remarkable results for patients who have "tried it all."
Have you been diagnosed with a vertebral compression fracture?
We've found kyphoplasty to both relieve this type of pain, while preserving the integrity of your spine.
Do you have neck pain and headaches?
Find out whether you're a candidate for effective, minimally invasive treatments such as Botox for dystonia-related neck pain and migraines, or radiofrequency for facet joint arthropathy.
Do you have low back pain?
Perhaps you have a muscle strain, which can be treated with trigger point injections. Perhaps you need radiofrequency nerve ablation. Both of these are minimally invasive outpatient procedures we can address in 1-2 visits.
Have you had multiple back operations and still suffer from pain?
Implantable therapies such as spinal cord stimulation could literally change your life.
Do you suffer from arthritis of the spine?
We perform radiofrequency treatments that can relieve and even eliminate your pain.
Do you suffer from the condition Spinal Stenosis?
Lumbar spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower part of your back. Stenosis, which means narrowing, can cause pressure on your spinal cord or the nerves that go from your spinal cord to your muscles
If all my tests are normal, why am I in so much pain?
Just because you are "undiagnosed" doesn't mean you are untreatable. Even without knowing the cause, we can target the source of your pain through accurate, image-guided procedures.
Will I have to take pain medications forever?
Not necessarily. Our goal is to reduce your medication while improving your quality of life.
Do I have to live with pain for the rest of my life?
No. We can identify the components of your pain, treat them, and keep them under control -- and allow you to restore your quality of life.
