Facet Injections

A facet joint injection combines a local anesthetic and a corticosteroid anti-inflammatory medication that is injected into the facet joint(s) of the spine. It is a procedure to help diagnose the source of the patient’s pain, as well as help relieve pain and inflammation.

Medial Branch Blocks

Facet joints along the spine are connected to two medial branch nerves used to carry signals (including pain signals) away from the spine to the brain. Medial branch blocks are performed to disrupt pain signals from the medial branch nerves. This procedure can be performed independently to provide long-term back pain relief. It is also used as a two-step diagnostic and treatment approach prior to a radiofrequency ablation to identify the specific facet joint(s) causing pain.

Sacroiliac Joint Injection

Sacroiliac (SI) joint injection is a minimally invasive procedure that involves injecting a mixture of local anesthetic and/or corticosteroid medication directly into the SI joint. The SI joint is located in the lower back and connects the sacrum to the ilium bone (part of the pelvis).  The injection is performed under x-ray or ultrasound guidance to ensure accuracy and precision.

Radiofrequency Ablation
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA), also known as radiofrequency neurotomy or radiofrequency rhizotomy, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses localized heat generated by radiofrequency waves to target specific tissues within the body. An RFA procedure is commonly used to target and disrupt the small medial branch nerves responsible for transmitting pain signals from facet joints, which are connections between bones in the spine. (This is sometimes referred to as nerve ablation.) It is performed to manage and reduce chronic neck or back pain arising from the cervical (neck) or lumbar (lower back) facet joints.

Supartz Knee Injection

SUPARTZ injections treat knee osteoarthritis. They do this by providing temporary replacement for diseased synovial fluid in your knee, which is an underlying cause of your pain. Unlike oral medications or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that affect all parts of your body, SUPARTZ specifically targets the osteoarthritis in your knee.

Toradol Injection
Toradol is a very effective medication for reducing inflammation and pain, but can only be used short term for acute pain. It is commonly used in the first few days after surgery while an inpatient, and then stopped for discharge home when ibuprofen or other similar medications can be used. For patients who cannot have narcotic pain medications, Toradol can help with pain relief without the issues associated with narcotics.

Hyaluronic Acid Injections

The human body naturally makes hyaluronic acid on its own. This substance is a fluid that assists in providing cushioning and lubrication to your joints so they function smoothly, free from unwanted friction. However, as the body ages, the natural hyaluronic acid production decreases, which can result in the thinning of the hyaluronic acid found in your knee joints. When you experience joint pain or stiffness, it may be due to a decrease in this substance. In such cases, having hyaluronic acid injections can help restore balance and mobility.
