A Ringers lactate infusion is a treatment where a solution, containing essential electrolytes and lactate, is delivered into your bloodstream through an IV. This helps to replenish fluids and maintain balance in your body. It's often used during or after surgery.

Fluoroscopic guidance for needle placement is a medical procedure that uses a special X-ray technology to help accurately place a needle in the body. It's often used in biopsies, injections or other treatments to ensure precision and safety.

This procedure involves injecting a mix of numbing and anti-inflammatory medication into a specific nerve root in the lower back. It helps manage pain and reduce inflammation. The process is guided by imaging technology for precision.

This procedure involves injecting a substance into your lower spine canal, guided by real-time images. It's done to diagnose or treat various conditions. You may feel slight discomfort, but it's generally safe and can provide valuable information for your treatment plan.

This is a first-time office or outpatient visit lasting between 45-59 minutes. The healthcare provider evaluates your health, discusses your medical history, and may suggest further tests or treatments. It's an opportunity to ask questions and understand your health better.

This procedure involves injecting an anesthetic or steroid drug into the sacral spine nerve root. It's done under imaging guidance to ensure accuracy. The process can be repeated for each additional level of the spine to help manage pain or inflammation.

This procedure involves using imaging technology to locate and treat nerves in your lower spine or sacral area that may be causing pain. Each additional facet joint refers to treating more than one spinal nerve. It's a non-invasive way to manage chronic back pain.

This procedure involves injecting medicine into the joint where your lower spine meets your hip bone. Using special imaging technology, the doctor ensures the medicine is delivered accurately. This can help reduce pain and inflammation in that area.

This procedure involves using imaging guidance to accurately target and destroy nerves in the lower or sacral spinal facet joint. It's done to relieve chronic back pain. The process is safe and usually effective.

Orthovisc is a treatment involving injections of a substance called hyaluronan into your joints. Hyaluronan is a natural substance in your joint fluid that aids in movement and reduces pain. The Orthovisc injections help replenish this substance, relieving joint pain.

Trigger point injection therapy involves injecting medication into specific areas of your muscles, known as trigger points. These are areas that produce pain and discomfort. If you have three or more muscles affected, each will be treated individually.

This procedure involves injecting a substance into your middle or upper spine canal. It's performed under imaging guidance to ensure accuracy. The substance can help diagnose or treat various conditions, providing relief from symptoms.

This procedure involves injecting medication into the facet joint in your lower back or sacral spine. It's done under imaging guidance to ensure accuracy. The aim is to alleviate pain and inflammation. It's a safe, often effective method for managing spinal discomfort.

This procedure involves injecting medication into the facet joints of your lower or sacral spine to manage pain. Imaging guidance ensures accurate placement. It's the second level, meaning it's done on two different joint levels.

Hyaluronan or derivative, Durolane, is a treatment injected directly into the joint to relieve pain and improve mobility. It's often used for arthritis in the knee. The substance works by supplementing your body's natural joint fluid to help lubricate and cushion the joint.

This procedure involves the use of imaging technology to accurately locate and destroy specific nerve branches in the knee. This can help reduce chronic knee pain. The procedure is minimally invasive and usually performed under local anesthesia.

This procedure involves injecting anesthetic and/or steroid medication into a knee nerve branch. Imaging technology is used to ensure accurate placement of the needle. This can help reduce pain and inflammation in the knee area.

This procedure involves placing a small device, called a neurostimulator electrode array, under your skin near your spine. It delivers mild electrical signals to your spinal cord, helping to manage chronic pain.

This procedure involves the use of heat to disable the basivertebral nerve within the first two bones of your lower spine. It's done to alleviate chronic lower back pain. It's a safe, minimally invasive procedure with a quick recovery time.

Ultrasonic guidance for needle placement is a technique where sound waves create images that help accurately position the needle during procedures. This method ensures precision, minimizes discomfort, and increases safety.

This procedure involves the application of heat to destroy the basivertebral nerve inside a bone in your lower spine. It's aimed to alleviate chronic low back pain by blocking nerve signals. It's a minimally invasive procedure and recovery time is typically quick.

This procedure involves injecting medication into a joint in your upper or middle spine. It's performed under imaging guidance for precision. The aim is to reduce inflammation and pain. It's a single-level process, meaning one joint is treated at a time.

This procedure involves injecting medication into the upper or middle spine facet joint, a small joint in your back. This is done under imaging guidance for precision. It's a second-level procedure, meaning it's done on two separate joints. It can help reduce pain and inflammation.

This procedure involves using ultrasound technology to accurately locate a large joint, usually the knee or shoulder. A needle is then inserted to either extract fluid (aspiration) or inject medication. The ultrasound helps ensure precision and safety.

This procedure involves the use of imaging technology to guide a needle to the nerves of a single facet joint in the upper or middle spine. The nerves are then treated to alleviate pain and improve mobility.

This is a routine visit for patients who have already been seen by the healthcare provider. During this approximately 20-29 minute appointment, your health status will be evaluated and any necessary treatments or tests will be discussed. It's a chance to address any health concerns you may have.

This procedure involves injecting an anesthetic agent or steroid into a specific nerve or its branch. The goal is to relieve pain by reducing inflammation and numbing the area. It is commonly used for chronic pain management. The process is safe and usually quick.

This procedure involves the use of imaging technology to accurately target and destroy nerves in the upper or middle spinal facet joints, which may be causing pain. Each additional facet joint treated follows the same process.
