• Osteoporosis
• Headaches
• Arthritis
  Arthritis is the inflammation of a joint, usually accompanied by pain, swelling, and stiffness, and resulting from infection, trauma, degenerative changes, metabolic disturbances, or other causes. It occurs in various forms, such as bacterial arthritis, osteoarthritis, or rheumatoid arthritis.
• Fibromyalgia
  Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread pain in your muscles, ligaments and tendons, as well as fatigue and multiple tender points—places on your body where slight pressure causes pain.
• Medical Weight Loss
  Patients who are overweight or obese and suffer from back pain may not be aware that their excess weight is actually contributing to their back pain. While it has not been thoroughly studied exactly how excess weight can cause or contribute to back pain, it is known that people who are overweight often are at greater risk for back pain, joint pain and muscle strain than those who are not obese.
• Primary Care
  Patients that have coverage requiring a referral from their primary care insurance are responsible for acquiring and tracking their referral expirations. Our office will not be held liable for the absence of a referral. For patients who have a coinsurance it is important to note that our office provides highly specialized surgical procedures that may produce patient balances that can range from $50–$500.
• Electrocardiogram
  The procedure is done in the Operating Room with fluoroscopic (x-ray) guidance. For lumbar discography (discs in the low back), it is done with you lying on your stomach. For cervical discography (discs in the neck), it is usually done with you lying on your back. There will be an anesthesiologist or a nurse present during the procedure to monitor you and administer intravenous sedation to help you be comfortable and relaxed. You are watched closely with an EKG monitor, blood pressure cuff and blood oxygen-monitoring device. The skin over the injection site(s) is cleaned with an antiseptic solution and then the injections are carried out. After the injection, you are placed on your back or on your side.

Radiologist

• X-Rays
• Computed Tomography
  Unless you are totally immobilized from a back injury, an examination will be preformed to examine your range of motion. X-rays are useful in pinpointing broken bones or other skeletal defects. They can sometimes help locate problems in connective tissue. To analyze soft-tissue damage, computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans may be needed. X-rays and imaging studies are generally used to confirm your symptoms and the exam results to identify the source of pain. In cases of direct trauma to the back, back pain with fever, or weakness or numbness in the limbs. To determine possible nerve or muscle damage, an electromyogram (EMG) can be useful.
• Chemotherapy
  Pain may be caused by either treatment or the disease itself. Tumors can cause pain by irritating or damaging nerves. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are examples of treatments that can sometimes produce significant pain persisting long after the disease has been cured. Approximately half of all cancer patients have pain. It is more common in the later stages of the disease.
• MRI
  Further testing of undiagnosed neck pain can include x-ray evaluation, CAT scan, bone scan, MRI scan, myelogram, and electrical tests such as electromyography (

• Pinched Nerve
  Pain located in the neck is a common medical condition. Neck pain can come from a number of disorders and diseases of any tissues in the neck, such as degenerative disc disease, neck strain, whiplash, a herniated disc, or a pinched nerve. Neck pain is also referred to as cervical pain. Compression of the nerve roots may lead to tingling and numbness which can occur in the upper extremities. This condition is known as cervical radiculopathy.
• Hip Replacement
  Vertebroplasty involves applying cement into the fractured vertebrae to stabilize the fracture, stop further fracturing from occurring at the same level, and results in rapid pan reduction in 85% of patients. It is performed as an outpatient and may be performed with sedation, general anesthesia, or under local anesthesia only. Large diameter needles are placed through the skin into the fracture site, and then iodine dye is injected to outline any blood vessels that might be at risk, and helps identify the complexity of the fracture. Cement is then mixed (the same type of cement used in hip replacement, surgery) and slowly injected into the vertebral body under x-ray fluoroscopy guidance. The patient goes home in approximately one hour afterwards.

• Physical Therapy
  When chronic pain becomes so severe that all conservative measures have failed to control it including medications, surgery, injections, physical therapy, and alternative health methods, some patients may be candidates for spinal cord stimulator (SCS) implantation. The permanent spinal cord stimulator is pacemaker type of generator that is implanted under the skin above the hip and connected to leads placed into the epidural space. The electrodes on the leads stimulate the spine at a higher frequency than do incoming pain nerve signals, thereby causing the spine to filter out most of the incoming pain. However prior to implanting such expensive technology, a trial lead placement is performed for three to 14 day home trial stimulation. During the trial period at home, the patient is able to adjust stimulation settings to optimize pain relief. If and only if the patient receives more than 75% pain relief, the permanent system is later implanted. Prior to the permanent implant, the trial leads are removed by simply pulling on them.
