We bring structured pain management programs to the Ridgewood community with focus on evidence-based care and individualized treatment. Each program utilizes sophisticated intervention techniques to address specific pain generators and restore function.

Our epidural steroid injection program delivers targeted anti-inflammatory therapy directly to affected spinal nerve structures using advanced fluoroscopic guidance. These procedures provide significant relief for inflammatory conditions including disc herniations, spinal stenosis, and nerve root irritation. Our comprehensive program addresses both cervical and lumbar spine conditions with exceptional precision and documented safety records.

Facet joints represent common pain generators in the spine, particularly in patients with degenerative arthritis or mechanical dysfunction. Our facet medial branch block procedure provides both diagnostic clarity and therapeutic benefit. This minimally invasive technique helps confirm facet joint involvement in your pain syndrome while delivering relief that can persist for months.

For patients with chronic pain that has proven resistant to conventional treatments, spinal cord stimulation represents a breakthrough therapeutic option. This FDA-approved technology utilizes advanced implantable devices that deliver precisely modulated electrical impulses to alter pain signal processing at the spinal cord level, providing continuous pain management without dependence on systemic medications.
