Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
Radio waves are sent through a precisely placed needle to heat an area of a nerve, preventing pain signals from being sent back to the brain. It is considered for chronic pain conditions of the neck, back and arthritic joints that haven’t been successfully treated by other methods or for longer lasting pain treatment.

Intrathecal Pain Pump
Also known as a pain pump, is a small device that is surgically implanted to deliver medication directly into the spinal fluid. This allows for a more efficient and effective administration of medicine while simultaneously reducing the negative side effects associated with pain medications. Especially effective for severe pain conditions that have not responded to other treatments, including failed back surgery syndrome, spinal injuries and cancer pain.
-
Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS)
is a small device that is surgically implanted to deliver electrical impulses through thin wires placed near the spinal cord to relieve chronic pain without medication. This device can be used alone, or in combination with other treatments to treat multiple modes of chronic pain. The device blocks pain signals from reaching the brain and can be controlled by the doctor and patient to customize pain relief. Effective for failed back surgery syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, neck and back pain.
