The precise causes of pain due to an injury can be complex. That’s why MD4You offers access to a full array of interventional pain management treatment options based on the unique needs of each patient. For optimal patient outcomes, every procedure is supported by a full continuum of care—pre-procedural care, anesthesia and postprocedural services.
A doctor injects a mixture of steroids and numbing medicine into the space around the spinal cord. The steroids help reduce swelling and inflammation, while the numbing medicine provides immediate relief from pain.
A doctor injects a combination of a steroid and a numbing medicine directly into the joints that connect the bones of the back. The steroid helps reduce inflammation, while the numbing medicine provides immediate pain relief.
A doctor injects a mix of numbing medicine and steroids into the SI joint, where the spine connects to the pelvis. The numbing medicine helps relieve pain right away, and the steroid reduces inflammation around the joint.
A small device is placed under the skin near the nerve that is causing pain. The device sends mild electrical pulses to the nerve, which can help block pain signals from reaching the brain.
A small needle is used to deliver heat generated by radiofrequency energy (radio waves) to “turn off” or interrupt the nerves that are sending pain signals to the brain.
A doctor injects a numbing medicine around a nerve or group of nerves. This numbs the area and stops the nerve from sending pain messages to the brain.
A doctor injects a small amount of numbing medicine (and sometimes a steroid) directly into painful muscle knots known as “trigger points.” The injection helps relax the muscle, reduces inflammation and provides pain relief.
If a disc in the spine is bulging or damaged and pressing on a nerve causing pain, a surgeon can remove the small part of the disc that’s causing the problem. The surgery is done using a tiny cut and special tools, often with a microscope to see clearly.
If a disc in the spine is causing pain because it has degenerated or is bulging, the surgeon can remove the damaged disc and put in a new, artificial one to help keep the spine flexible and relieve pain.
Used for pain in the lower back caused by damaged or worn-out joints, Intracept is a minimally invasive procedure where a special needle delivers heat to the nerve endings in those joints. The heat helps to stop the nerves from sending pain signals to the brain, providing long-lasting relief.
During a fusion, the surgeon removes a damaged disc or part of the spine and then connects two or more bones in the spine together using screws, rods or bone grafts. Over time, the bones grow together and fuse, forming a solid piece of bone. This helps stabilize the spine, reduce pain and prevent further damage.
The surgeon fuses or permanently connects the bones in the SI joint using screws or other devices. The goal is to stop movement in the joint, which can reduce pain caused by inflammation, arthritis or injury.
For bones in the spine (vertebra) that break or collapse, a surgeon uses a small balloon to gently lift the broken vertebra back into place, then fill the space with a special cement to stabilize the bone and reduce pain.
A surgeon removes a small part of the bone (called the “lamina”) from the spine. This creates more space and helps reduce pressure on the nerves, which can ease pain, numbness or weakness.
The surgeon makes small cuts in the skin and uses special tools to remove parts of the spine (like a herniated disc or bone) that are pressing on the nerves.
Stem cells have the ability to turn into different types of cells, helping the body repair itself. A doctor injects stem cells into the area that’s injured or inflamed. These stem cells can help the body heal by promoting tissue repair and reducing inflammation.
A doctor takes a small sample of blood and processes it in a machine to concentrate the platelets (cells in the blood that help with healing). The doctor then injects this concentrated plasma into the area of your body that is injured or inflamed.
This therapy uses stem cells, platelet-rich plasma or growth factors to encourage damaged tissues (like joints, muscles or tendons) to repair and regenerate. Regenerative therapy helps promote the healing process so the body can restore itself.
