Facet Joint injections
Facet joint injections involve the Injection of numbing medication and a steroid into the facet joint, which is a small joint located between the vertebrae. This can help to reduce pain and inflammation in the affected area. These injections are often used for back pain caused by arthritis or injury.
Sacroiliac Joint Injection
Sacroiliac joint injection involves the injection of a numbing medication and a steroid into the joint located between the sacrum and the ilium bones in the pelvis. This can help to reduce pain and inflammation in the affected area. These injections are often used for back pain caused by sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
Trigger Point Injection
Trigger point injections involve injecting a numbing medication and a steroid into a trigger point, which is the knot of muscles that can cause pain and discomfort. This can help to reduce pain and inflammation in the affected area. These injections are often used for back pain caused by muscle tension, sprains, or injuries.
Botox For Migraines
You may recognize BOTOX because of its cosmetic applications, but it can also be used for pain management. BOTOX works by limiting muscle movements at the injection site and can be used to treat chronic neck and back pain. The results of treatment typically last up to six months.
Ketamine Infusion Injections
Ketamine is a painkiller and anesthetic with a fast action rate and low side effects. Ketamine has been used since the 1970s and is now a practical part of a multi-modal approach to treat and overcome chronic and osteopathic pain and provides maximum long-term relief.
Cervical Steroid Injection
The main goal of cervical epidural steroid injections is to help manage chronic pain caused by irritation and inflammation of the spinal nerve roots in your neck (the cervical region of your spine) due to certain conditions or injuries.
Medical Branch Nerve Block
Medial branch nerves are small nerves in the spinal region of your back. These nerves are formed in branch-like systems that communicate pain experienced in the facet joints of your spine. These nerves only communicate pain and control sensations in your back. The medial branch block procedure temporarily stops the nerves from communicating pain signals to the brain from the joints.
Ultrasound Guided Injections
Ultrasound machines allow us to see structures such as tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints in real time for a precise injection delivery. This allows us to safely inject structures that are otherwise difficult to examine and find into the body. It also allows us to avoid essential structures, such as blood vessels and nerves, that may be in the path of the injection needle.
Epidural Steroid Injections
Epidural steroid injections are a common type of injection involving injecting steroids into the epidural space, the region through which spinal nerves travel. The procedure is performed with the patient lying down. Intravenous sedation may be administered, and a region of skin and tissue of the neck is numbed with a local anesthetic delivered through a small needle.
Medication Management
While not a long-term solution, we understand the vital role prescription medication plays for some patients who suffer from chronic pain.
Joint Immobilization
This technique restricts joint movement, wholly or partially, for a specific period of time and may include cast braces, splints, or slings.
Passive/ Active Stretching
Stretching is extremely important for your body to recover from an injury as it has many proven benefits, including improving joint function as it loosens stiff muscles and other joint tissue, allowing you greater freedom of movement.
Committed To Excellent Care
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an effective, drug free way of treating pain symptoms and can also be used to prevent disease. Acupuncture can treat signs and symptoms as well as addressing the root cause of the problem.
Chiropractor
As one of the alternatives to pain-relieving drugs, for lower, middle, and upper back pain we may recommend heat, massage, and chiropractic treatment to help our patients with musculoskeletal-related pains.
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy can be used in the treatment of back pain, arthritis, muscle strains, fibromyalgia, bursitis, tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, neck and shoulder pain, plantar fasciitis, and golf elbow to provide relief.
Massage Therapy
For pain relief, many people have turned to prescription opioids which can have serious side effects. , For this reason, Texas Intergrative Pain Institute relies on integrative health care approaches that can relieve pain, massage therapy is a safe and effective option we may suggest.
Nerve Block
Nerve blocks are an advanced pain management treatment that involves the injection of a small quantity of a steroid, in combination with a medication to numb a specific nerve as it exits the spinal cord. These injections can be used where chronic pain exists, from neck to lower back.
Physical Therapy
If you have acute pain, we may suggest physical therapy to help identify and promote healing and reduce stress in the injured area. They will also offer guidance as to how to safely return to your normal activities without further damage to your injuries. During your initial consultation, our pain management team will analyze your prior record, x-ray and conduct a medical exam that may include further testing or treatments.
Tens Unit Therapy
TENS, or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, is a back pain treatment that uses low-voltage electric current to relieve pain. This is done with a small battery-operated device. The device can be hooked to a belt and is connected to two electrodes. The electrodes carry an electric current from the TENS machine to the skin to stimulate the nerves; the body produces natural painkillers called endorphins.
Injection Therapy
Injection therapies are a minimally invasive way to treat chronic, acute and inflammatory pain. As a non-surgical treatment, many patients successfully experience immediate relief and a quick recovery.
Psychotherapy
One of the biggest misconceptions about pain management therapy is that it suggests that the pain is “all in your head.” This is simply not true. In fact, pain management therapy is often used together with medical and alternative treatments. It is a part of a whole-body approach to coping with real physical pain. The whole-body approach examines how pain impacts your daily activities, behaviors, thoughts, and emotions.
