Specialized Procedures
Our pain specialists are skilled in performing a variety of specialized procedures to effectively manage and alleviate pain. Some of the procedures we offer include:
1. Epidural Steroid Injections
Epidural steroid injections are a common and effective treatment for back pain and sciatica. This minimally invasive procedure involves injecting a corticosteroid medication into the epidural space to reduce inflammation and provide relief from pain.
2. Facet Joint Injections
Facet joint injections are used to diagnose and treat pain originating from the facet joints, which are located in the spine. This procedure involves injecting a local anesthetic and corticosteroid medication into the affected joint to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.
3. Radiofrequency Ablation
Radiofrequency ablation is a procedure used to provide long-lasting pain relief for individuals suffering from chronic pain conditions, such as arthritis or nerve pain. In this procedure, a specialized needle is used to apply heat to the affected nerves, disrupting their pain signals.
4. Spinal Cord Stimulation
Spinal cord stimulation is a treatment option for individuals who have not found relief from traditional therapies. It involves implanting a device that delivers mild electrical impulses to the spinal cord, interrupting pain signals before they reach the brain.
Individualized Approach
At Torrance Memorial Physician Network, we recognize that every patient is unique and requires individualized care. Our pain specialists take the time to thoroughly evaluate your condition, medical history, and personal goals to develop a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.
