At Riceland Healthcare, we provide a comprehensive range of advanced pain management treatments designed to improve your quality of life. Our expert team of specialists works with you to develop personalized solutions for managing chronic pain through the latest technologies and minimally invasive procedures.

Our Services

Epidural Steroid Injections (Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar)

Epidural steroid injections deliver targeted anti-inflammatory medications directly into the epidural space around the spinal nerves to relieve pain caused by conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and sciatica. This minimally invasive procedure provides significant pain relief for patients suffering from neck, back, and leg pain.

Medial Branch Blocks / Facet Joint Injections

Facet joints in the spine may become a source of chronic pain due to arthritis or injury. Medial branch blocks and facet joint injections are diagnostic and therapeutic treatments that inject anesthetics or corticosteroids into these joints to alleviate pain and inflammation. These procedures help determine the source of pain and can provide relief, improving mobility and comfort.

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

Radiofrequency ablation uses heat generated by radio waves to target specific nerves in the spine that are causing chronic pain. This procedure is especially effective for managing pain from facet joints, offering long-lasting relief for conditions such as arthritis or spinal degeneration.

Sacroiliac Joint Injections

Sacroiliac joint injections are used to treat pain originating from the SI joint, located at the base of the spine. By injecting corticosteroids or anesthetics into the joint, we can reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and improve mobility for patients suffering from lower back pain or dysfunction.

Selective Nerve Root Blocks

Selective nerve root blocks are used to diagnose and treat nerve-related pain by injecting medication near specific nerve roots in the spine. This procedure helps identify the source of pain and provides effective relief for conditions like herniated discs or sciatica.

Sympathetic Nerve Blocks (Stellate Ganglion, Lumbar Sympathetic)

Sympathetic nerve blocks target the sympathetic nervous system, which may be contributing to chronic pain. Stellate ganglion blocks treat pain in the upper body, while lumbar sympathetic blocks are used for lower extremity pain. These treatments are effective for conditions like complex regional pain syndrome and neuropathic pain.

Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS)

Spinal cord stimulation is a revolutionary technique that involves implanting a small device that sends electrical pulses to the spinal cord. This interrupts pain signals before they reach the brain, providing relief for conditions like failed back surgery syndrome and complex regional pain syndrome.

Intrathecal Pain Pump Implants

Intrathecal pain pump implants deliver pain medication directly to the spinal fluid, offering targeted relief for chronic pain. These pumps can administer opioids or muscle relaxants like morphine or baclofen, reducing the need for oral medications and minimizing side effects.

Joint Injections (Shoulder, Hip, Knee)

Joint injections are designed to treat pain and inflammation in the shoulder, hip, and knee joints. By injecting a combination of corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid, we can reduce pain, improve function, and help restore movement, particularly for patients with arthritis or tendonitis.

Trigger Point Injections

Trigger point injections are used to treat muscle pain and tension caused by myofascial pain syndrome. By injecting local anesthetics or corticosteroids into the muscle knots, we can relieve discomfort and improve mobility, helping to alleviate pain in areas such as the neck, shoulders, and back.

Discography

Discography is a diagnostic procedure that involves injecting contrast dye into spinal discs to identify the source of back pain. This procedure provides valuable insight into whether a specific disc is the cause of your pain, helping to guide treatment decisions such as surgery.

Peripheral Nerve Stimulators

Peripheral nerve stimulators are implanted devices that deliver electrical impulses to specific nerves, disrupting pain signals and providing relief for chronic pain conditions. These stimulators are a non-surgical alternative for patients who may not be candidates for spinal cord stimulation.
