TRIGGER POINT INJECTIONS
Trigger point injections are injections to the muscle belly. Injections are aimed at taut bands or areas of spasm within the muscle belly. Taut bands can be painful and the underlying cause of pain generation. Trigger point injections are diagnostic and therapeutic. If there is significant relief after trigger point injections, certainly one can consider that the muscle spasm is a pain generator. The injection consists of anesthetic as well as antiinflammatory medication.

EPIDURAL STEROID INJECTION
Epidural steroid injections are a procedure to place medication both antiinflammatory as well as anesthetic in the epidural space. The epidural space is located within the spine around the spinal cord and nerve roots. The goal of epidural injections is diagnostic and therapeutic. Epidural injections can relieve pain that is generating from disc herniations as well as irritated or pinched nerve roots. These procedures are performed under fluoroscopic guidance.

FACET BLOCK
Facet blocks are performed under fluoroscopic guidance and can be diagnostic and therapeutic. Injections are performed at the facet joint or the medial branch nerve. Improvement after this type of injection would be diagnostic for facet joint related pain.

FACET RHIZOTOMY
Facet rhizotomy is a long acting facet block either done chemically or with thermal heat. This procedure is indicated if the patient does receive benefits from the facet block, however does not offer prolonged relief.

STELLATE BLOCK
This procedure is done in the neck, anesthetic blockade is performed at the stellate ganglion. The goal of this procedure is for blockade of the sympathetic chain. This is diagnostic and therapeutic for evaluation and treatment of RSD.

LUMBAR SYMPATHETIC BLOCK
Lumbar sympathetic block is performed about the lumbar area. The goal of this procedure is for blockade of the sympathetic chain. This would be diagnostic and therapeutic for evaluation and treatment of RSD.

DISCOGRAM
A discogram was performed for diagnostic purposes to identify pain if a pathologic disc is acting as a pain generator.

IDET PROCEDURE
An IDET procedure is a procedure done for a pathologic disc usually with annular tear that has been identified as a pain generator. The goal of procedure is to destroy sensory nerve endings that are transmitting painful signal. The ultimate goal is to relieve pain from discogenic pathology.

PERCUTANEOUS DISCECTOMY
This is a minimally invasive procedure for treatment of a herniated disc. This is a procedure that could be done in an outpatient setting under fluoroscopic guidance to remove herniated disc material. The ultimate goal is to relieve pressure on the exiting nerve root as well as relieve pain.

BOTOX INJECTIONS
Botox is a long acting treatment for muscular pain. Botox acts locally at the injection site to relieve muscle spasm and to relieve pain. Benefits of this can last up to three to six months. This is also used for intractable headaches that do not respond to more conservative measures.
