- SciaticaTransforaminal Epidural Injection: performed to relieve low back and radiating leg pain. The transforaminal approach is a very selective injection around a specific nerve root. By injecting medication around a specific nerve root, the doctor can determine if this nerve root is causing the problem. This type of epidural injection is used most often for diagnostic purposes, and it is commonly used in the neck. The medication injected can help reduce swelling and inflammation caused by spinal conditions such as spinal stenosis, radiculopathy, sciatica and herniated discs. However, many patients get significant relief from only one or two injections. In some cases, it may be necessary to repeat the procedure.
- Knee ReplacementGenicular Nerve Block: Genicular nerves are sensory nerves that transmit pain signals from the knee to the brain. An injection of anesthetic to the nerves can interrupt pain signals to the brain helping block the knee pain. Candidates for this type of block include patients who have knee pain from degenerative osteoarthritis, ligament damage, or continued pain after knee replacement.
- Physical TherapyTodd Kollar writes, “After years of playing football at the high school, collegiate and professional levels, and all the associated weightlifting, the time had come to pay the piper. Specifically, years of record-setting leg squats, power cleans and dead lifts resulted in two bulging discs. The pain would come on completely out of the blue and would be crippling. Eventually, the fear of not knowing when the pain would strike became almost at debilitating as the pain itself. Countless trips to various doctors led to numerous x-rays, MRIs, and fad treatments, but no relief. It wasn't until the suggestion of a family member to contact the Doctors Pain Clinic that I was finally on the path to recovery. Dr. Neuendorf's analysis was performed quickly and efficiently, and his recommendation for treatment was made with confidence and optimism. The treatment itself, a series of epidural injections of anti-inflammatories into and around the bulging discs, was painless. The results were noticeable nearly immediately. Follow-up physical therapy cemented the success of the treatment, and I have lived a pain and fear-free life ever since. Thank you Dr. Neuendorf for giving me my life back!”
