Is Pain Management Right for You?
Depending on many factors, such as the type of pain and your general health, there are numerous options for treating your pain. Some patients are surprised to learn that a treatment that previously failed to provide relief may be effective when combined with a multi-treatment approach.
Our specialists treat complex pain issues. There are many different physical and neurological disorders that contribute to pain, and we treat all types of pain including:

To Treat Pain
Introduction To Neuromodulation
Neuromodulation is a term used to describe a rapidly developing technology utilized by physicians to manipulate the human nervous system to achieve a desired outcome. Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) has been a treatment option for nerve pain syndromes for several decades, and recent advances have yielded better outcomes than previously recorded.
Dorsal Root Ganglion Stimulation (DRG-S) is a form of Neuromodulation where an electrical field is placed over the DRG. This type of stimulation has demonstrated superior pain relief when compared to traditional SCS for treating Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) and post-surgical nerve pain.
