Facet joints connect the bones in the posterior spine and facilitate twisting, flexing, and extension movements. Inflammation in these joints can cause pain. A facet joint injection involves directly administering medication into or near the facet joint. The medication typically consists of a long-acting steroid and numbing anesthetic. When delivered to the affected area, this medication combination reduces joint inflammation and swelling. Generally, this procedure is recommended for individuals experiencing neck, arm, low back, or leg pain caused by facet joint inflammation who have not responded to other conservative treatments. You may be a candidate if you have sciatica, spinal stenosis, arthritis, postoperative pain, or spondylolysis. Learn more about facet joint injections. APICO Pain Management™ is proud to offer facet joint injections as an alternative to surgery to patients. Contact us today to learn more and find out if you're a candidate- https://apicopain.com/

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive technique that uses heat to selectively destroy targeted tissue. Radiofrequency waves are transmitted through a carefully positioned needle to generate localized heat surrounding specific nerve fibers. This process effectively interrupts the transmission of pain signals to the brain, providing relief almost immediately. As an alternative to more extensive surgical interventions or long-term medication use, RFA offers a minimally invasive treatment option.

Trigger point injections are a great way to address areas of muscle within which knots, also known as trigger points, are present. These knots can be felt through the skin's surface, and when touched they may twitch involuntarily, thus irritating and trapping nearby nerves which in turn causes referred pain. Trigger point injections can be used to treat various muscle groups throughout the body such as those in the back and neck. The procedure itself is quick and easy; it usually lasts no more than 5 minutes and patients remain conscious throughout. A small needle is inserted into the trigger point area followed by an injection, which will help to reduce pain. Contact APICO Pain Management™ today to find out if you're a candidate for trigger point injections for pain relief. https://apicopain.com/

Nerve Blocks offer A Targeted Treatment for Pain Management. Nerve block injections may provide relief for individuals experiencing chronic or acute pain. A nerve block involves injecting an anesthetic near targeted nerves to temporarily relieve pain transmission. By blocking nerve signaling in a specific area, many patients report significant pain reduction. Injections aim to address pain at its source by treating conditions such as back pain, neck pain, and others. If you're interested in nerve block therapy contact APICO Pain Management™ to determine if this is a suitable treatment option for a unique pain condition. https://apicopain.com/

Vertebral compression fractures are often caused by osteoporosis or trauma. They result in sudden back pain and loss of vertebral height and shape. Kyphoplasty aims to relieve pain by lifting and supporting the collapsed bone. During the procedure, a cement-like material is injected into the fractured area using small instruments. After it hardens, this stabilizes the bone and fracture. For those with osteoporotic compression fracture pain, kyphoplasty provides effective long-term relief. If you have back pain from a vertebral compression fracture, contact APICO Pain Management™ for a consultation.
