- Interventional spine procedures — Procedures such as radiofrequency ablation can use heat to destroy tissue or sensory nerves that cause pain.
- Nerve stimulation — Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) therapy or implanted peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) devices deliver low-voltage electrical currents to relieve pain.
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation — Board-certified physiologists will develop and supervise a fitness plan to help you strengthen and stabilize your core.
- Spinal injections — Epidural, facet joint, sacroiliac joint, nerve blocks or trigger point injections can be used to relieve your pain and reduce inflammation.
