Arm/leg pain can be due to a variety of different problems including nerve pain from disc injuries in the cervical or lumbar region, nerve injuries in the extremity itself, joint related problems including shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, hip, knee, and ankle, as well as other musculoskeletal injuries. Patients may develop pain following surgery with a small number of patients developing a neuropathic pain condition called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (please see sympathetic pain). As with all painful conditions it is important to determine the precise cause of symptoms in order to design appropriate therapy.

New Technology for Chronic Pain Suffers
Administering ultrasound guided joint, tendon, muscle and cartiladge injections is a non-invasive, non-ionizing interventional pain management modality thats gaining popularity. The option provides direct visualization of soft tissues while offering real-time needle advancements without the risks of radiation. Doctors can diagnose soft tissue areas impacted by pain as they are administering steroid, platelet rich plasma injections. This diagnostic ability allows the provider to target the pain with greater precision. Ultrasound guided joint, tendon, muscle and cartilage injections offer an easier and more effective way to free patients from pain.
* Treatment plans range from less invasive procedures such as Platelet Rich Plasma Injections to more complex procedures such as Kyphoplasty, Percutaneous Disc Decompression, Spinal Cord Stimulators, and Programmable Medication Pump Implants. Contact us today to schedule an appointment.
