Occipital Nerve Block
Injection in the occipital nerve region (back of the head, above the neck) designed to relieve pain most often associated with headaches.
Radiofrequency Lesioning

Sacroiliac Joint Injection
An injection in the sacroiliac joints located at the bottom of the spine on each side of the sacrum. This procedure helps with low back pain.
Sciatic Nerve Block
Injection into the buttocks region to help with leg pain caused by sciatica. A compressed sciatic nerve can cause pain, tingling, numbness and weakness, collectively referred to as sciatica.
Selective Nerve Block
An injection targeted at one specific nerve root along the spine. This procedure is used to diagnose the source of nerve root pain and also for therapeutic relief of low back pain or leg pain.
Spinal Cord Stimulation
A small medical device implanted near the spine that uses electrical pulses to interfere with pain messages reaching the brain. This can be used for diabetic neuropathy, facial pain, low back, leg and arm pain.
Stellate Ganglion Block
An injection into the neck to help with complex regional pain syndrome, facial pain and upper extremity (arm) pain.
Supartz/Synvisc Injection
