Middle back pain can stem from muscle strain, poor posture, or spinal conditions. Our treatments focus on physical therapy, injections, and lifestyle modifications to alleviate discomfort.

Neck Pain:

Neck pain, often caused by muscle strain or spinal issues, is treated with physical therapy, spinal injections, and pain management to restore mobility and reduce pain.

Cervical Disc Herniation:

This occurs when discs in the neck bulge or rupture, causing nerve compression. Treatment includes physical therapy, epidural injections, and pain relief strategies.

Cervical Spinal Stenosis:

Narrowing of the spinal canal in the neck, causing nerve compression. We treat this with cervical epidural injections, physical therapy, and pain management.

Cervical Radiculopathy:

Nerve compression in the neck that leads to pain, numbness, or weakness. Our approach includes spinal injections, physical therapy, and advanced pain management.

Herniated Disc:

A common cause of back pain, herniated discs are treated with physical therapy, spinal injections, and other minimally invasive techniques to reduce pain and improve function.

Chronic pain due to muscle trigger points. We provide physical therapy, trigger point injections, and other pain management techniques.

Muscle Spasm Treatment:

Muscle spasms, often related to spinal issues, are treated with physical therapy, stretching, and injections to reduce tension and improve flexibility.

TREATMENT OPTIONS

Ultrasound-Guided Injections:

Ultrasound-guided injections are a cornerstone of our treatment capabilities, offering targeted relief with high precision. This technique uses ultrasound imaging to guide the injection of medication directly into affected joints or soft tissues. Ideal for conditions like arthritis, bursitis, and joint pain, these injections help reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and improve joint function, making them a preferred choice for patients seeking non-surgical pain relief solutions.

Fluoroscopic-Guided Spine Injections:

Are a highly effective, minimally invasive treatment designed to relieve pain and inflammation in the spine. Using real-time X-ray imaging, or fluoroscopy, the injection is precisely guided to the targeted area, ensuring optimal accuracy and results. This advanced technique is commonly used to treat conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, arthritis, and nerve compression. By delivering anti-inflammatory medication directly to the affected area, patients often experience significant pain relief and improved mobility, helping them return to daily activities with reduced discomfort.

Epidural Steroid Injections:

These injections deliver corticosteroids directly into the epidural space of the spine to reduce inflammation and relieve pain caused by conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and radiculopathy. They are used to treat both cervical and lumbar spine pain, providing significant relief for patients with nerve compression.

Facet Joint Injections:

Facet joint injections are used to diagnose and treat pain originating from the facet joints in the spine, commonly caused by arthritis or injury. These injections target the facet joints in the spine to reduce pain and inflammation.

Medial Branch Block:

A medial branch block is both a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure that targets the nerves transmitting pain signals from the facet joints. This injection helps diagnose the source of chronic pain and provides temporary relief, often leading to longer-term solutions like radiofrequency ablation.

Lumbar Radiofrequency Ablation:

This minimally invasive treatment uses heat generated by radiofrequency energy to disrupt nerve fibers responsible for transmitting pain signals from the lumbar spine. It is typically used to treat chronic lower back pain caused by facet joint issues or arthritis and can provide long-lasting relief.

Sacroiliac Joint Injections:

These injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly into the sacroiliac (SI) joint to relieve lower back and buttock pain caused by sacroiliac joint dysfunction or inflammation. This is a minimally invasive procedure designed to provide targeted pain relief.

Coccydynia Treatment:

For patients with tailbone pain (coccydynia), we offer a range of treatments including physical therapy and injections to reduce inflammation and pain in the coccyx area.

Trigger Point Injections:

Designed to alleviate muscle pain caused by trigger points, these injections are effective for treating conditions like myofascial pain syndrome, fibromyalgia, and tension headaches. Trigger point injections help release muscle tension and restore normal muscle function.

Nerve Blocks:

Specializing in pain relief, our nerve block treatments target specific nerves that carry pain signals to the brain. By administering a local anesthetic, these blocks effectively reduce pain and are particularly useful for chronic back pain, sciatica, and migraine sufferers. This method not only provides immediate relief but also helps in diagnosing the specific nerves involved in pain transmission.

Viscosupplementation:

This treatment involves injecting hyaluronic acid into joints, primarily the knee, to supplement the viscous properties of synovial fluid. By restoring the natural lubricating and cushioning properties of joint fluid, viscosupplementation relieves pain, reduces inflammation, and improves mobility in patients with osteoarthritis.

Physical and Occupational Therapy:

Our comprehensive therapy programs are tailored to meet the individual needs of our patients, whether they are recovering from injury, surgery, or managing chronic conditions. Our physical therapists focus on restoring strength, mobility, and endurance, while our occupational therapists help patients improve their ability to perform daily activities. This dual approach ensures holistic rehabilitation and a quicker return to normal life.

Electrodiagnostic Testing:

Electrodiagnostic testing is crucial for accurately diagnosing conditions that affect muscle and nerve function. Our clinic offers nerve conduction studies and electromyography (EMG) to pinpoint issues in the electrical activity of muscles and nerves. These tests are essential for planning effective treatment strategies for conditions like peripheral neuropathy, muscular dystrophy, and spinal disc herniation.

Tendon/Sheath Injections:

These are used to treat tendonitis and other inflammatory conditions affecting tendons and their sheaths. Injecting steroids or other medications into the affected area can significantly reduce swelling and pain, facilitating a faster recovery and return to activity.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Injections:

PRP therapy uses your own blood to promote healing and reduce pain. Effective for tendon injuries, joint pain, and arthritis, PRP stimulates natural tissue repair, offering a minimally invasive option for long-term recovery.

Shockwave Therapy:

A non-invasive regenerative treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing and reduce pain in soft tissues. Shockwave therapy is effective for conditions like tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and joint pain, promoting faster recovery and natural tissue regeneration.

Comprehensive Diagnostic Services:

Equipped with the latest ultrasound technology, our clinics provide comprehensive in-office diagnostic services. These include musculoskeletal ultrasounds that are critical for assessing soft tissue and joint conditions, guiding interventions like injections, and monitoring treatment efficacy.

Infusion Drug Services:

For conditions requiring infusion therapy, such as severe Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, and others requiring biologics or IV corticosteroids, Rise Motion Clinic offers an exceptional infusion experience. Our services are provided in a comfortable setting equipped with the latest technology and administered by skilled infusion nurses who follow stringent safety protocols.

IOVERA° Cryoneutolysis:

Iovera is a non-surgical, drug-free procedure that uses cold therapy to block pain signals from nerves, providing relief from chronic knee pain due to osteoarthritis. This 30-minute treatment freezes targeted nerves, offering immediate relief that lasts up to 90 days. Safe, precise, and minimally invasive.
