NO. 13 Pain Pump The intrathecal pump system consists of a pump/reservoir implanted between the muscle and skin of your abdomen and a catheter that carries pain medication from the pump to the spinal cord and nerves. The pump is programmed to slowly release medication over a period of time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc85f51f87e5a7b95c4e0b1/1610359026813-I4EEPOYTYSOIRLOT224Q/Spinal+injection.png Our Treatments NO. 04 Lumbar Sympathetic Block A lumbar sympathetic block is an injection of local anesthetic into or around the sympathetic nerves. These sympathetic nerves are a part of the sympathetic nervous system. The nerves are located on either side of the spine, in the lower back. Normally these nerves control basic functions like regulating blood flow. NO. 05 Medial Branch Block The medial branch block is a diagnostic tool to identify a source of pain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc85f51f87e5a7b95c4e0b1/1610355532115-Y0YDQA5M78WTN7IW6Z5L/Tens+device.png Our Treatments NO. 10 T.E.N.S. T.E.N.S. stands for (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation.) These devices are predominantly used for nerve-related pain conditions (acute and chronic conditions.) T.E.N.S. units work by sending stimulation pulses across the surface of the skin and along the nerve strands to help reduce pain. NO. 11 Trigger Point Injection Trigger points are localized areas of muscle spasm and inflammation, that can occur in various regions of the body. A trigger point injection is a minimally invasive procedure that involves an injection of medication directly into the affected area to help provide pain relief. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc85f51f87e5a7b95c4e0b1/1610563729063-A7QC22DTD6J0J5KO3SR2/modified+first+treatment.jpg Our Treatments NO. 02 Steroid Injection Epidural steroid injection is a technique in which corticosteroids and local anesthetic get injected into the epidural space around the spinal cord. NO. 03 Facet Block A lumbar facet joint block is an injection of local anesthetic into one or more of the small joints located along the side of each vertebra on both sides of the spine in the lower part of the back. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc85f51f87e5a7b95c4e0b1/1611757763353-5RFELQC1WYPF0KQ6WONO/radio+frequency.jpg Our Treatments NO. 06 Alternative Treatment Medical Marijuana is considered an alternative treatment for pain and other conditions. To learn more about this option, click here. NO. 07 Radiofrequency Radiofrequency Ablation (RF or RFA) is a procedure used to help reduce pain. An electrical current produced by a radio wave is used to heat a small area of nerve tissue, thus decreasing pain signals from that specific area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc85f51f87e5a7b95c4e0b1/90d4e15b-6977-4c57-8b78-0ca46d9244b0/Ketamine+Therapy Our Treatments NO. 01 Ketamine Infusion Therapy Ketamine works, unlike any other medicine. It functions by “re-setting” nerves and triggers the growth of nerve pathways. Ketamine has shown great success in the treatment of migraines, depression, anxiety, and PTSD.

First, to diagnose the source of a patient’s pain, second, to provide therapeutic pain relief. At times, these are separated and the patient will undergo a purely diagnostic or therapeutic injection, although often the two are combined into one injection. NO. 09 Spinal Cord Stimulator Trial 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. A trial lead placement is performed for about three days. During the at-home trial period at home, the patient can adjust stimulation settings to optimize pain relief. If and only the patient receives significant pain relief, the permanent system is later implanted. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc85f51f87e5a7b95c4e0b1/1634666484381-F8RX8M11A2BWLB8ZCQV3/Micah.jpg Our Treatments NO. 14 HFX for “Peripheral Neuropathy” Customized for your pain, a small device is HFX planted beneath the skin, placed near the spine. This procedure is quick and minimally invasive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc85f51f87e5a7b95c4e0b1/1611760294235-FK95VN1Y9B0Q3UH2NF8J/task-2.png Our Treatments https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc85f51f87e5a7b95c4e0b1/1611760327294-YQRST28TKHOGD27JSD4D/doctor-2.png Our Treatments https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc85f51f87e5a7b95c4e0b1/1611760023403-WCJL5Y3GI2L2TTTQ7AGX/high+star+2.png Our Treatments https://www.painspecialistsoflancaster.com/opioid-use-disorders daily 0.75 2021-03-23 https://www.painspecialistsoflancaster.com/ketamine-therapy daily 0.75 2022-11-15 https://www.painspecialistsoflancaster.com/ketamine-infusion-therapy daily 0.75 2022-11-15
