BACK PAIN

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people miss work and visit the doctor's office.
Most common symptoms of back pain include:

  • Muscle aches
  • Shooting stabbing pain
  • Pain that radiates down your leg
  • Pain that worsens with bending, lifting, standing or walking
  • Pain that improves with reclining
We provide a 3-part multifactorial treatment to help alleviate back pain. This treatment consists of medication, physical therapy, and spinal interventions.

Our back injection services include:

Our back injection services include:

1. Caudal Injection
A caudal injection is an injection into the lowest portion of the epidural space. A caudal injection can help relieve lower back and leg pain caused by sciatic, herniated discs, bone spurs or other back problems.

2. Lumbar-Face Injection
​A facet injection is an injection into one or more of the small joints located along the side of each vertebrae on both sides of the spine in the lower part of the back.

3. Sacroiliac Injection
The sacroiliac joint, located in the lower spine above the tailbone, is the largest joint in the spine. Inflammation of the sacroiliac joint can cause low back and buttocks pain.

4. Hip Injection
Hip joint injections involve injecting medicine directly into the joint. Theses injections can help diagnose the source of pain, as well as alleviate the discomfort.
