Minimally Invasive Procedures

These techniques utilize injections or radiofrequency to target the source of pain with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues. Ideal for those seeking fast-acting and targeted pain relief.

• Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injections (TFESI) and TFESI with RFA

TFESI injections deliver corticosteroids to reduce inflammation around compressed nerves, potentially providing significant pain relief. In some cases, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) can be used alongside TFESI to heat and disable pain-carrying nerves for longer-lasting relief.

• Radiofrequency Ablation

This technique uses radiofrequency energy to target and disable pain-causing nerves. It's a minimally invasive procedure with minimal downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities quickly.

• Sacroiliac Joint (SIJ) Injection and Facet Joint (FJ) Injection

Injections deliver medication directly into the SI joint or facet joints, which are small joints located throughout the spine. These injections can provide targeted relief for pain originating from these specific areas.

• Medial Branch FJ Block

This injection targets specific nerves supplying the facet joints, providing localized pain relief in the back and neck.

• Coeliac Plexus and Superior Hypogastric Blocks

These injections target nerve bundles in the abdomen and pelvis, respectively. They can be helpful in managing chronic pain in these regions, such as pain associated with pancreatitis or pelvic inflammatory disease.

• S1 Transforaminal and Caudal Epidurals

Injections deliver medication into the epidural space, which surrounds the spinal cord and nerves. This can reduce inflammation around spinal nerves and alleviate pain radiating down the legs (sciatica) or in other areas.
