Chronic pain affects millions of people worldwide, disrupting daily life and overall well-being. Effective pain management is crucial for restoring function and improving quality of life. At Grewal Orthopedic & Spine Care, we offer state-of-the-art treatments to address a wide range of pain-related conditions.
Neck Pain
Neck pain can result from muscle strain, degenerative disc disease, or injuries such as whiplash. It often manifests as stiffness, reduced mobility, or headaches. Treatments like cervical epidural injections or facet joint injections provide targeted relief by reducing inflammation and nerve compression in the cervical spine.
Spinal Stenosis
Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the spinal canal, often caused by degenerative changes. This condition can lead to back pain, leg weakness, and tingling sensations. Procedures such as epidural nerve blocks or spinal cord stimulation help alleviate symptoms by reducing nerve pressure and improving mobility.
Facet Syndrome
Facet syndrome occurs when the small joints between vertebrae become inflamed or damaged, causing localized or radiating pain. Facet joint injections combined with radiofrequency ablation provide long-lasting relief by blocking pain signals and reducing inflammation.
Herniated Disc
A herniated disc can compress nearby nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness in the arms or legs. Medial branch blocks or discography may be used to diagnose and treat the condition, while spinal cord stimulation offers relief for persistent pain.
Osteoarthritis
This degenerative joint disease affects cartilage, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Advanced treatments such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections and viscous supplementation injections improve joint health and alleviate symptoms.
Occipital Neuralgia
Occipital neuralgia is characterized by chronic pain at the back of the head and neck due to irritated occipital nerves. Peripheral nerve stimulation or nerve root injections can provide effective, targeted relief.
SI Joint Dysfunction
The sacroiliac joint connects the spine to the pelvis, and dysfunction in this joint can cause lower back and pelvic pain. SI joint injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly to the joint, reducing pain and restoring function.
Post-Surgical Pain
Persistent pain after surgery is a common concern. Radiofrequency ablation and spinal cord stimulators can address this issue by targeting specific nerves responsible for chronic discomfort.
Sports Injuries
Athletes frequently face injuries like muscle strains, ligament tears, and joint damage. PRP injections and genicular joint block injections promote healing and reduce inflammation, helping athletes return to their activities more quickly.
Car and Work Accidents
Traumatic injuries from accidents often cause long-term pain, including neck pain, back pain, or joint dysfunction. Treatments such as epidural injections, lumbar sympathetic injections, and hip injections are tailored to the specific injury.
A treatment where a steroid medication is injected into the epidural space around the spinal cord to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. It is commonly used for conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, or spinal stenosis to help with chronic back or neck pain.
A minimally invasive procedure that uses heat from radiofrequency waves to destroy nerve fibers responsible for pain in the lumbar (lower back) or cervical (neck) spine. This procedure can help reduce chronic pain in these areas by interrupting pain signals sent to the brain.
A condition in which the spinal canal in the lower back narrows, compressing the spinal cord and nerves. It can cause pain, numbness, or weakness in the legs, and is often associated with aging, arthritis, or herniated discs.
A procedure in which a small device is implanted near the spinal cord to send electrical pulses that mask pain signals before they reach the brain. This can be used to treat chronic pain conditions such as failed back surgery syndrome or complex regional pain syndrome.
Extreme lateral interbody fusion is a minimally invasive spine surgery technique used to treat lumbar disc degeneration, where the surgeon accesses the spine from the side of the body to remove the damaged disc and insert a spacer to fuse the vertebrae.
Epidural Nerve Block
Epidural injections deliver anti-inflammatory medications directly to the spinal canal, reducing nerve root inflammation and alleviating pain. They are effective for conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, and spinal stenosis.
Cervical and Lumbar Epidurals
Targeting the cervical or lumbar spine, these epidural injections address localized pain and inflammation in the neck or lower back. They provide relief for conditions like neck pain, herniated discs, and facet syndrome.
Facet Joint Injections
Facet joint injections combine a local anesthetic and corticosteroid to relieve pain caused by arthritis or injury in the small joints between vertebrae. These injections are often paired with radiofrequency ablation for longer-lasting results.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
RFA is a minimally invasive procedure that uses heat to disrupt nerve signals transmitting pain. It is commonly used for facet syndrome, post-surgical pain, and SI joint dysfunction.
Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS)
SCS involves implanting a device that sends electrical impulses to the spinal cord, blocking pain signals from reaching the brain. This treatment is ideal for chronic back pain, post-surgical pain, and nerve-related conditions.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections
PRP therapy uses a patient’s concentrated platelets to promote tissue repair and reduce inflammation. It is particularly effective for osteoarthritis, sports injuries, and degenerative conditions.
Viscous Supplementation Injections
These injections deliver a gel-like substance into the joints to cushion and lubricate them, improving mobility and reducing pain associated with arthritis.
SI Joint Injections
SI joint injections target the sacroiliac joint with anti-inflammatory medication to relieve lower back pain and improve mobility. They are highly effective for SI joint dysfunction.
Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS)
PNS involves placing a small device near peripheral nerves to deliver electrical pulses, interrupting pain signals and providing relief for conditions like occipital neuralgia and diabetic neuropathy.
Medial Branch Blocks
These injections target the medial branch nerves that supply the facet joints, providing diagnostic and therapeutic relief for conditions like facet syndrome and chronic back pain.
Genicular Block Joint Injections
Used for knee arthritis, these injections block the nerves transmitting pain from the knee, providing significant relief for patients with joint inflammation or damage.
Hip and Lumbar Sympathetic Injections
These injections target specific areas of pain, such as the hips or lumbar spine, offering relief for arthritis, injuries, or nerve-related pain.
Intracept Procedure
The Intracept procedure targets the basivertebral nerve to alleviate chronic lower back pain caused by vertebral endplate changes. It is a minimally invasive and highly effective solution for specific patients.
