Pain Management
Specialized procedures for targeted pain relief.
Acute Pain
Acute pain typically develops suddenly after an injury, surgery, or flare-up of a condition such as a herniated disc or joint inflammation. It is often sharp, intense, and directly linked to tissue damage or irritation. In many cases, acute pain improves as the underlying issue heals. At our clinic, we use targeted treatments such as epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, and joint injections to reduce inflammation and provide rapid relief, helping patients regain mobility and function while their body recovers.
Chronic Pain
Chronic pain is pain that lasts longer than three months and may continue even after the original injury has healed. It often arises from ongoing spine and joint problems like arthritis, degenerative disc disease, or nerve irritation. Unlike acute pain, chronic pain can interfere with daily activities, sleep, and overall quality of life. Our clinic offers advanced options such as medial branch blocks, radiofrequency ablation (denervation), and regenerative therapies to help break the cycle of persistent pain. By addressing the nerves and structures that generate pain, we aim to restore function and improve long-term comfort.
Treatments & Procedures
Many of our procedures are performed at our affiliated facility, Silver Creek Surgery Center, which is owned and operated by the same physician.
Spine Procedures
Joints & Muscles
There are many possible causes of joint pain, and any joint in the body can be affected. Some joint issues are minor and respond well to simple treatments, while others may indicate more serious underlying conditions. Arthritis is one of the most common causes of joint pain, though active individuals may also experience discomfort related to muscle or ligament strain.
Our clinic specializes in <strong>joint injections</strong>, a targeted treatment in which medication is injected directly into the affected joint to reduce inflammation and relieve pain.
We commonly treat:
- Shoulder injections
- Hip injections
- Knee injections
- Elbow injections
- Various other joint injections
to help relieve pain and restore mobility.

Treatment Options
Many of our procedures can be performed using either steroid injections or PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy, depending on your specific condition and treatment goals.
Steroid Injections
Corticosteroid injections are a common treatment used to provide fast and effective relief from pain caused by inflammation in the spine or joints. Inflammation is often the source of pain when nerves, discs, or joint spaces become irritated and swollen. By delivering medication directly to the affected area, corticosteroid injections help reduce this irritation, allowing the surrounding tissues to calm down and function more normally.
PRP Therapy
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses your body's own natural healing abilities to repair damaged tissues and reduce pain. The process begins with a small sample of your blood, which is placed in a centrifuge and spun to concentrate the platelets. These platelets are rich in growth factors — powerful proteins that stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and support healing in joints, ligaments, tendons, and discs. By injecting this concentrated solution directly into the injured or painful area, PRP helps the body accelerate its natural recovery process.
