A procedure may be considered when the likely pain source is sufficiently clear, conservative options have been reviewed and the expected benefit is reasonable for the individual patient.

Joint injections

Selected diagnostic or therapeutic injections for clinically appropriate joint conditions.

Nerve blocks

Targeted injections used in selected pain conditions after appropriate evaluation.

Epidural injections

Selected image-guided spinal injections where symptoms and findings support their use.

Radiofrequency procedures

Considered for selected nerve-mediated pain conditions after assessment.

PRP

Platelet-rich plasma may be discussed for selected musculoskeletal conditions, with a balanced explanation of evidence and alternatives.

Trigger point procedures

Selected interventions within a broader plan for myofascial pain.

Safety begins before the procedure.

Please disclose allergies, pregnancy, infection, diabetes, kidney disease, blood-thinning medicines and previous reactions to medicines or procedures. Individual preparation and after-care instructions will be provided when a procedure is scheduled.
