Pain management procedures

Our pain management doctors address chronic and short-term pain with a range of procedures, including:

  • Epidural steroid injection: An epidural steroid injection involves injecting steroids into the neck or low back. Sometimes, a local anesthetic is injected with the steroid. These injections may be used for spine care to treat herniated discs.
  • Epidural steroid injection: An epidural steroid injection involves injecting steroids into the neck or low back. Sometimes, a local anesthetic is injected with the steroid. These injections may be used for spine care to treat herniated discs.
  • Kyphoplasty: This procedure treats vertebral compression fractures (VCF) of the spine using a balloon and then injecting cement into the fractured vertebra.
  • Nerve and facet blocks: This therapy uses a local anesthetic and a small dose of steroid to perform a nerve block for specific areas of the body. The nerve block can also be used to diagnose which neural pathway is causing chronic pain.
  • Radiofrequency ablation: This treatment blocks pain messages to the brain, using radiofrequency energy to heat nerves, nerve endings and other tissues. Radiofrequency energy is a form of electromagnetic energy similar to a microwave.
  • Other medication injections: Our pain doctors routinely perform sacroiliac joint injections, sympathetic nerve blocks, transforaminal steroid injections, trigger point injections, facet injections and other joint injections to help our patients manage pain.

Your pain management team may encompass specialists from other areas of our hospital. For example, our primary care, spine care and physical therapy and rehabilitation programs often play a vital part in pain management for our patients.
