What are some of the pain management treatments?

United Physician Group provides many interventional pain management treatments. Among the available treatments are:

• Joint injections (hip, shoulder, or knees)
• Epidural steroid injections
• Transforaminal steroid injections (lower back)
• Genicular nerve blocks (knees)
• Medial branch blocks (facet joints in the spine)
• Radiofrequency ablation (lower back, neck, or knees)
• Botox® for migraines

United Physician Group also provides medication management, helping you get the right pain medication to manage your ongoing discomfort.

The pain management specialists also do spinal cord stimulation (SCS) trials. SCS is a device that uses mild electrical pulses to disrupt the pain signals that run from the nerves in your spine to your brain.

United Physician Group might recommend SCS trials for patients with chronic lower back, leg, or sciatica pain that fails to improve with other treatments.
