Endoscopic Rhizotomy

At Resolve Pain, we offer endoscopic rhizotomy, a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat chronic back pain by targeting the nerve roots that transmit pain signals from the spine. During this procedure, our doctors use a small endoscope to visualize the nerve roots, which are then severed or ablated to stop the pain signals. This approach helps to provide long-term relief from pain without the need for large incisions or extensive recovery time. Patients typically experience significant improvement in mobility and a reduction in pain symptoms following the procedure.

Spinal Cord Stimulation

At Resolve Pain, our doctors specialize in spinal cord stimulation (SCS), a technique that involves implanting a small device near the spinal cord to deliver electrical impulses that interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain. This method is particularly effective for chronic pain conditions that have not responded well to other treatments. The SCS system includes a pulse generator and electrodes, which are implanted under the skin. Patients can adjust the intensity of the stimulation using an external controller, allowing for personalized pain relief and improved quality of life.

Epidural Steroid Injections

During epidural steroid injection treatment, corticosteroids are delivered directly into the epidural space–the area surrounding one or more irritated spinal nerves.  This treatment option can offer powerful pain relief, reduce inflammation, and be used in combination with other treatment approaches to achieve lasting comfort and spine mobility.  

Facet Joint Injections

Our doctors at Resolve Pain offer facet joint injections, targeting specific joints in the spine that may be causing pain due to arthritis or injury. By injecting a combination of anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication directly into the affected facet joints, this procedure can both diagnose the source of the pain and provide immediate relief. Patients often experience a significant reduction in pain and improved range of motion, which can help them return to normal activities more quickly.

Radiofrequency Ablation

Resolve Pain provides radiofrequency ablation (RFA), a technique that uses heat generated by radio waves to disable nerves responsible for transmitting pain signals. This procedure is particularly effective for treating chronic back pain and other conditions that have not responded to conservative treatments. By precisely targeting the problematic nerves, RFA can provide long-lasting pain relief, allowing patients to enjoy a better quality of life with reduced reliance on pain medications.

Nerve Blocks

At Resolve Pain, we utilize nerve blocks, which involve injecting anesthetic medication near specific nerves to block pain signals and provide relief from acute pain episodes. This technique is commonly used for conditions such as severe back pain, post-surgical pain, or pain resulting from injuries. Nerve blocks can offer immediate pain relief and can be used as a diagnostic tool to identify the source of pain. The effects of a nerve block can last from several hours to several weeks, depending on the medication used.

Percutaneous Discectomy

Resolve Pain offers percutaneous discectomy, a minimally invasive procedure designed to remove or reduce herniated disc material that is pressing on nerves and causing pain. Using a small incision, a special tool is inserted to extract the problematic disc tissue. This procedure helps to alleviate pressure on the nerves, resulting in reduced pain and improved function. Percutaneous discectomy is an effective option for patients who have not found relief through conservative treatments.

Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty

At Resolve Pain, we perform vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty to stabilize fractured vertebrae and relieve pain caused by spinal compression fractures. In vertebroplasty, bone cement is injected into the fractured vertebra to provide stability and reduce pain. Kyphoplasty involves a similar process, but a balloon is first inserted and inflated to create space before the cement is injected. Both procedures can significantly reduce pain and improve mobility, allowing patients to resume daily activities more comfortably.

Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS)

Our team at Resolve Pain offers peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS), a technique similar to spinal cord stimulation, but it targets peripheral nerves outside the spinal cord to treat localized pain. A small device is implanted near the affected nerve, delivering electrical impulses that disrupt pain signals. PNS is particularly effective for chronic pain conditions that are confined to a specific area, such as post-surgical pain or nerve injuries. Patients can adjust the stimulation to achieve optimal pain relief, improving their overall quality of life.

Neuromodulation

At Resolve Pain, our doctors utilize neuromodulation techniques, including spinal cord stimulation and peripheral nerve stimulation, aimed at altering nerve activity to manage pain. These techniques involve the use of electrical impulses to modulate nerve signals, providing relief for chronic pain conditions. Neuromodulation is particularly useful for patients who have not found sufficient relief from other treatments, offering a customizable and minimally invasive option to improve pain management and enhance daily functioning.

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) Therapy

At Resolve Pain, we offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, an innovative treatment that uses the patient’s own blood to promote healing and alleviate pain. PRP therapy involves drawing a small amount of blood from the patient, which is then processed to concentrate the platelets. These platelets contain growth factors that aid in tissue repair and regeneration. The concentrated PRP is then injected directly into the affected area to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. This treatment is effective for a variety of conditions, including joint pain, tendon injuries, and chronic soft tissue pain. Patients often experience reduced pain and improved function following PRP therapy, with minimal risk of side effects.

Regenerative Medicine

At Resolve Pain, we specialize in regenerative medicine, a cutting-edge approach that focuses on repairing and regenerating damaged tissues to alleviate pain and restore function. This field includes treatments such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy and Stem Cell Therapy. By harnessing the body’s natural healing capabilities, regenerative medicine aims to address the underlying causes of pain, rather than just managing symptoms. This approach can be particularly effective for conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, and muscle injuries, providing patients with long-term relief and improved quality of life.

Stem Cell Therapy

Resolve Pain offers stem cell therapy, a revolutionary treatment that uses the body’s own stem cells to promote healing and reduce pain. Stem cells have the unique ability to develop into different types of cells, aiding in the repair and regeneration of damaged tissues. During this procedure, stem cells are harvested from the patient’s bone marrow or fat tissue and then injected into the affected area. This therapy is effective for treating various conditions, including joint pain, spinal disc injuries, and soft tissue damage. Patients often experience significant improvements in pain and function, with the benefits of a minimally invasive procedure.

Functional Pain Management

At Resolve Pain, we practice functional pain management, which focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of chronic pain. Rather than just treating symptoms, our doctors take a holistic approach that involves an in-depth exploration of physical, mental, and emotional factors contributing to discomfort. By understanding these underlying issues, we can develop comprehensive, personalized treatment plans that aim to improve overall well-being and restore functionality, providing patients with long-term relief and a better quality of life.

Integrative Pain Management

Our integrative pain management approach at Resolve Pain combines conventional medical treatments with complementary therapies to provide a comprehensive pain relief strategy. This method includes a variety of techniques such as physical therapy, acupuncture, massage, and mindfulness practices, alongside traditional medical interventions. By integrating these diverse therapies, our doctors can address multiple aspects of pain, tailoring treatment plans to the unique needs of each patient. This holistic approach aims to enhance the effectiveness of pain management, improve overall health, and support long-term recovery.

Non-Opioid Pain Treatment

At Resolve Pain, we are committed to providing effective pain relief without the use of opioids. Our non-opioid pain treatments include a variety of methods such as physical therapy, nerve blocks, regenerative medicine, and integrative pain management. By using these alternatives, we can help manage pain effectively while minimizing the risks associated with opioid use, ensuring our patients receive safe and sustainable pain relief.

Acupuncture

At Resolve Pain, we provide acupuncture, an ancient practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate healing and alleviate pain. Acupuncture can be effective for treating various conditions, including chronic pain, migraines, and arthritis. By integrating acupuncture into our pain management strategies, we offer a natural and holistic approach to pain relief.
