Sometimes conservative treatment can help, like changing your lifestyle to avoid any uncomfortable or painful movement, but other times pain medication or professional treatments like cortisone injections are necessary. It may be that physical therapy will help you significantly. Sometimes surgery is necessary, but here at Modern Pain Management, we want to do everything we can to help you avoid it. This is why we offer treatments like: - Epidural steroid injections – As these are minimally invasive, they’re a great option for many patients, and they can help to reduce the inflammation and pain that comes with nerve root compression as a result of a herniated disc. - The Vertiflex procedure – A proven, minimally invasive procedure with an implant that can relieve back pain, including some cases of back pain caused by a herniated disc. We’re proud to provide this here at our clinic. - A spinal cord stimulator – An implanted device that electrically stimulates the spinal cord to provide pain relief, including relief from the pain a herniated disc causes. We can provide these treatments and others here at our clinic. It may be that a combination of treatments will work best for you, especially if the combination incorporates other treatments like physical therapy. The treatments we offer are minimally invasive at worst and may help you avoid surgery altogether. Reach out to us today to learn more about us and our solutions for your pain.
