Comprehensive treatments and procedures designed for lasting relief

A stepped approach pairs evidence-based treatments with advanced interventions when needed. We begin with conservative care and add targeted options if goals are unmet.

Evidence-based therapies include guided medications, behavioral health support, physical therapy, and patient education for neck and back issues.

Injection therapies cover epidural steroid injections, facet joint injections, genicular and other spinal or joint injections to reduce inflammation and restore function.

Nerve-targeted care uses medial branch blocks, selective nerve root blocks, stellate ganglion and sympathetic blocks to both diagnose and treat nerve sources.

Advanced interventions such as radiofrequency ablation and implantable neurostimulation offer longer-term relief when conservative steps fall short.

Headache and migraine care may use Botox injections and sphenopalatine approaches for recurrent attacks.

Complementary options—acupuncture, chiropractic, massotherapy, and spinal decompression—are integrated when they support goals.

Diagnostics and safety include EMG/NCV, manipulation under sedation, and structured post‑procedure recovery plans.

For details on how injections compare with other options, see our guide on facet joint versus epidural choices.

FAQ

What does "Find Pain Management Close to You" mean for my first visit?

It means fast access to a local clinic where a clinician evaluates your symptoms, reviews imaging or tests, and creates a personalized plan. Expect a focused history, physical exam, and a discussion of short- and long-term options such as medications, physical therapy, injections, or behavioral health support.

How do services stay personalized while offering many treatment options?

Clinics combine clinical guidelines with your goals and medical history. Practitioners tailor combinations of therapies—medication, targeted injections, physical therapy, and counseling—so the plan fits your lifestyle and recovery timeline rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

What happens during the first evaluation, and how is a treatment plan developed?

The provider takes a detailed history, performs an exam, and orders or reviews tests like X-ray or MRI. They diagnose the likely source of symptoms and outline a tailored plan that may include imaging-guided injections, rehabilitation, home exercises, and follow-up visits to track progress.

Can I get an appointment the same week and will you coordinate with my other doctors?

Many clinics offer same‑week scheduling for urgent concerns and actively coordinate with your primary care physician, surgeons, or neurologists. They obtain records and imaging, share treatment recommendations, and streamline referrals as needed.

How do insurance, referrals, and outpatient care work?

Administrative teams typically verify insurance benefits, explain copays, and guide you through referral requirements. Most procedures and visits are outpatient, with staff providing pre‑procedure instructions and arranging post‑procedure recovery support.

What evidence-based therapies are commonly offered?

Expect a mix of approaches: prescription and non-opioid medications, cognitive behavioral strategies, physical and occupational therapy, and patient education. These methods aim to improve function and reduce reliance on medications alone.

Which injection therapies are available for spine and joint issues?

Clinics often perform epidural steroid injections, facet joint injections, medial branch blocks, and targeted joint injections for knees or shoulders. These procedures use imaging guidance to deliver medication precisely where it helps most.

What nerve-targeted procedures do you provide?

Options include selective nerve root blocks, sympathetic and stellate ganglion blocks, and diagnostic nerve blocks to locate the source of radiating symptoms. These procedures can both diagnose and provide relief for nerve-related conditions.

When are advanced interventions like radiofrequency ablation or neurostimulation recommended?

Providers consider these when conservative measures and injection therapies provide temporary or partial relief. Radiofrequency ablation can disable pain-signaling nerves long-term, while neurostimulation (spinal cord stimulators) alters pain signaling for chronic, refractory conditions.

Do you treat headaches and migraines with procedures?

Yes. Services may include Botox injections for chronic migraine and targeted treatments such as sphenopalatine ganglion blocks. These are used alongside medication management and lifestyle interventions.

Are complementary treatments like acupuncture or chiropractic care available?

Many centers integrate complementary therapies—acupuncture, chiropractic adjustment, massage therapy, and spinal decompression—to enhance overall outcomes and help reduce medication use when appropriate.

What diagnostic support and safety measures do you provide?

Diagnostic tools include EMG/NCV testing for nerve function, imaging review, and monitored procedures with sterile technique. Teams give clear pre- and post-procedure instructions and offer recovery monitoring to reduce complications.

Which conditions are commonly treated at these clinics?

Teams manage low back and neck disorders, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, radiculopathy, chronic joint pain, neuropathies such as diabetic neuropathy, CRPS, phantom limb pain, and cancer-related discomfort.

How does the team-based care model benefit patients?

A coordinated team of fellowship-trained physicians, advanced practice providers, therapists, and behavioral health specialists creates comprehensive plans. This collaboration shortens time to treatment and improves outcomes through shared expertise.

What coordinated services help make care easier for patients?

Many clinics offer on-site therapy, pharmacy services, streamlined referrals, and care coordinators who manage appointments and paperwork. These conveniences reduce barriers to starting and continuing treatment.

How do clinics ensure a compassionate pre-procedure and recovery experience?

Providers give step-by-step guidance, discuss risks and expected recovery, and arrange follow-up contact. Staff offer practical tips for home care, pain control, and gradual return to activities.

Are there multiple locations and how do I schedule an appointment?

Most providers operate several outpatient sites to serve nearby communities. Call the clinic directly to request an appointment, check availability, and learn about telehealth or in-person options.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Bring photo ID, insurance card, a list of current medications, recent imaging or reports, and a summary of prior treatments. This helps the team build an effective, timely plan during your visit.
