Injections deliver medications including steroids and anesthetics directly to the nerves causing your pain. They can reduce inflammation, swelling, and pain dramatically. Some of the injection types include:
Injections can be an important part of your pain management because they ease the pain so you can concentrate on healing and recovery. A series of three injections can give you pain relief for up to a year.
Regenerative medicine injections are another type of injected treatment that can yield long-term relief. A regenerative medicine treatment delivers platelet-rich plasma (PRP), stem cells, or Lipogems® from your fatty tissue to help stimulate healing naturally.
APMI Orthopaedics, Sports Health, & Regenerative Medicine offers a wide array of minimally invasive procedures as part of their pain management program. The team may recommend one of these procedures if you get good results from injections but need ongoing pain relief.
These procedures are for chronic pain, but not usually for acute pain. One of these procedures could help you use less pain medication. When combined with physical therapy, you can greatly improve your quality of life with one of these procedures.
If you need surgery for a damaged disc, vertebrae, or other reason, the APMI Orthopaedics, Sports Health & Regenerative Medicine team has you covered.
The experienced surgeons perform procedures such as laminectomy, total disc replacement, and vertebroplasty using the most minimally invasive techniques possible.
In most cases, you combine surgery with physical therapy to ensure that you heal with maximum strength and flexibility.
Physical therapy includes strengthening and flexibility exercises along with a wide range of noninvasive modalities such as therapeutic ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and massage.
Your physical therapist can also administer iontophoresis treatment, in which electrical stimulation delivers medication through your skin.
