Trigger Point Injections

This interventional pain management practice treats patients experiencing various stages and types of complex, acute, and chronic pain, including failed back syndrome, facet joint arthralgia, complex regional pain syndrome, peripheral nerve injury, myofascial pain, nerve root injury, cervical and lumbar pain, radicular pain syndrome, occipital neuralgic headache, neuropathic pain, trigeminal neuralgia, disc herniation, post-laminectomy syndrome, spinal stenosis, and postherpetic neuralgia. The clinic also provides care for patients with cancer-related pain and those recovering from injury or surgery.

Treatment options include epidural steroid injections, sympathetic nerve blocks, peripheral nerve blocks, trigger point injections, radio-frequency thermal ablation, spinal cord stimulation, discograms, IDET (Intradiscal Electrothermal Therapy), diagnostic and therapeutic selective nerve blocks, facet joint blocks, caudal steroid injections, celiac plexus blocks, and cervical epidural steroid injections. Caudal steroid injections and celiac plexus blocks are performed using fluoroscopic guidance with a contrast solution to confirm needle placement before medication is administered.

The stated goal of care is to minimize pain symptoms and help patients return to as much functionality as possible, with the aim of helping some patients avoid unnecessary spinal surgery or knee replacement. The practice operates locations serving Queens, Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Morganville, NJ.
