Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat chronic pain, particularly in the neck, back, and joints. During the procedure, heat generated by radiofrequency waves is applied to specific nerve fibers, disrupting their ability to transmit pain signals. This technique is especially effective for patients with arthritis, spinal pain, or pain in the facet joints. RFA provides long-lasting relief, often up to 6-8 months, allowing patients to avoid or delay surgery. At Premier Pain Clinic, our doctors are skilled in performing RFA, providing expert care to ensure the best possible outcome for each patient.

Prolotherapy is a regenerative injection therapy that promotes the repair of damaged tendons, ligaments, and joints. It involves injecting a solution, typically containing dextrose, into the affected area, stimulating the body’s natural healing process. This therapy is effective for treating chronic musculoskeletal pain, including joint instability, ligament damage, and degenerative conditions like arthritis. At Premier Pain Clinic, prolotherapy is part of our non-surgical treatment options for pain relief, offering a safe and effective method to strengthen weak or damaged tissues, thereby improving function and reducing pain.

Facet joint injections are used to diagnose and treat pain originating from the small joints in the spine, known as facet joints. These joints can become inflamed due to arthritis, injury, or degeneration, leading to neck or back pain. During the procedure, a local anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication are injected into the facet joint to provide immediate pain relief and reduce inflammation. Facet injections not only relieve pain but also help doctors confirm the source of the pain for further treatment. At Premier Pain Clinic, we perform facet injections with precision to ensure maximum relief and improved patient outcomes.

Epidural steroid injections are used to reduce inflammation and pain in the spine, particularly for conditions such as herniated discs, sciatica, and spinal stenosis. The injection is administered into the epidural space surrounding the spinal cord and nerves, delivering a combination of corticosteroids and anesthetics directly to the source of pain. This treatment can provide significant relief from back and leg pain, improving patients’ mobility and quality of life. At Premier Pain Clinic, epidural injections are performed by experienced pain specialists who ensure the procedure is both safe and effective, offering long-term relief for spinal conditions.

Medial branch nerve blocks are a targeted treatment used to diagnose and treat pain originating from the facet joints of the spine. These small nerves, called medial branches, carry pain signals from the facet joints to the brain. By injecting a local anesthetic near these nerves, the pain signals are temporarily blocked, providing relief and confirming the pain’s origin. If the nerve block is successful, radiofrequency ablation may be recommended for longer-lasting relief. At Premier Pain Clinic, our specialists use medial branch nerve blocks to precisely target and manage spinal pain, improving patients’ mobility and comfort.

Peripheral nerve blocks are a pain management technique used to block pain signals from specific peripheral nerves. This procedure is often used for post-surgical pain, trauma, or chronic conditions affecting the limbs.

By injecting anesthetic near the targeted nerve, the pain signals are interrupted, providing significant relief. Peripheral nerve blocks can be used as a diagnostic tool or a long-term treatment option.

At Premier Pain Clinic, we offer this advanced pain management solution, ensuring that patients receive the most effective care tailored to their specific condition.
