Welcome to the

MINIMALLY INVASIVE PAIN MANAGEMENT

OCALA FL

◈ These injections target tender points in the muscles that are usually caused by tension and lactic acid build up. Sometimes it feels like a “knot” under your skin. Muscular tension can send pain in unexpected directions and an injection of local anesthetic and/or an anti-inflammatory may be useful in dispersing that tension.

◈ These injections target the nerves around the base of your skull that can adhere to the surrounding tissue and may even become compressed and irritable, causing headaches. 

◈ Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) targets small sensory nerves on the back of the spine called medial branch nerves which sit upon small joints called facet joints. The facet joints can become inflamed for many reasons, and this causes the medial branch nerve to send a pain signal. By targeting these nerve endings, it is possible to reduce or eliminate neck pain.

RFA patient education

◈ Epidural Steroid Injection (ESI) may be indicated if your symptoms are the result of nerves or other structures being crowded or compressed from an abnormality in the spine, like a herniated disc. Often this means you have experienced pain, numbness, or tingling in your arms or legs. You may experience pain in the neck or back as well. By targeting the areas surrounding the nerve roots your symptoms may be reduced.

ESI patient information

◈ Joints are formed when two bones come together. Parts of the joint that may be painful due to strains, sprains, and tears include ligaments, tendons, bursa, labrum and meniscus.
