Herniated discs in the cervical spine/pinched nerves/radiculopathy
Understanding Cervical Disc Conditions and Pain Relief
The cervical discs in your neck play a vital role in supporting movement and absorbing stress throughout your spine. These discs, made up of a tough outer layer and a soft inner core, allow flexibility while protecting the spine. When the outer layer weakens or tears, it can lead to disc bulges or herniations, sometimes causing neck pain or nerve irritation. At North Shore Pain Management, we offer advanced treatments to relieve pain caused by disc injuries and restore mobility.
A Cervical Epidural Steroid Injection (CESI) is a minimally invasive procedure designed to relieve neck, shoulder, and arm pain caused by inflamed spinal nerves. This treatment involves injecting a corticosteroid and anesthetic into the epidural space of the cervical spine to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain from conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or degenerative disc disease. CESI can provide significant, long-lasting relief and improve mobility, allowing patients to return to daily activities more comfortably.
Cervical spinal stenosis
Understanding Cervical Spinal Stenosis and Advanced Treatment Options
Cervical spinal stenosis occurs when the spinal canal narrows due to conditions like disc herniations, arthritis, or a naturally narrow canal. This narrowing can press on the spinal cord and nerves, leading to neck pain, numbness, weakness, and balance issues. At North Shore Pain Management, we provide personalized, non-surgical treatments such as cervical epidural steroid injection.
A Cervical Epidural Steroid Injection (CESI) is a minimally invasive procedure designed to relieve neck, shoulder, and arm pain caused by inflamed spinal nerves. By delivering a corticosteroid and anesthetic into the epidural space of the cervical spine, this treatment reduces inflammation and alleviates pain from conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease. CESI can provide significant, long-term pain relief and improve mobility, helping patients return to daily activities comfortably.
Cervical Spinal Arthritis/Spondylosis
Understanding Cervical Spinal Athritis/Spondylosis and Advanced Treatment Options
At North Shore Pain Management, we offer personalized treatments such as cervical medial branch blocks & cervical RFL.
Cervical Medial Branch Blocks (MBB):
A Cervical Medial Branch Block is a minimally invasive procedure that targets the small medial branch nerves, which transmit pain from the cervical facet joints. By injecting a local anesthetic near these nerves, this diagnostic procedure helps determine if the facet joints are the source of neck pain. If the block provides relief, it can guide further treatment options.
Cervical Radiofrequency Lesioning (RFL):
Cervical RFL is often recommended after 2 successful diagnostic medial branch blocks. This procedure uses heat generated by radiofrequency waves to disrupt pain signals from the medial branch nerves. It provides long-lasting relief for chronic neck pain, typically lasting several months or longer.
Myofascial pain
Effective Relief for Myofascial Pain Syndrome
Myofascial pain syndrome is a chronic condition caused by tight, sensitive trigger points in the muscles, often resulting from overuse, injury, or stress. This pain can remain localized or radiate to other areas of the body, leading to persistent discomfort and limited mobility. At North Shore Pain Management, we offer advanced, personalized treatments to relieve muscle pain, release tension, and restore function, helping patients return to their daily activities pain-free.
Trigger Point Injections for Muscle Pain Relief
Trigger point injections (TPIs) are a highly effective treatment for relieving muscle pain caused by tight, painful knots known as trigger points. These injections deliver a small amount of anesthetic, sometimes combined with a corticosteroid, directly into the affected muscle to relax tension, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain. TPIs are commonly used to treat myofascial pain syndrome, tension headaches, and fibromyalgia. At North Shore Pain Management, we offer personalized trigger point therapy to help restore mobility and improve your quality of life.
