Chronic back or neck pain can make even simple activities difficult—limiting mobility, disrupting sleep, and lowering quality of life. At CLS Health, our Interventional Pain Specialists use advanced diagnostics and minimally invasive therapies to target pain at its source—often without surgery or long-term medications.
Conditions We Treat
Back and neck pain can result from age-related changes, injuries, or nerve compression. Our specialists treat a wide range of spine and nerve conditions, including:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Spinal stenosis
- Facet joint arthritis
- Sciatica and nerve root compression
- Discogenic back pain
- Compression fractures
- Whiplash and post-traumatic neck pain
- Myofascial pain syndromes
- Occipital neuralgia and cervicogenic headaches
- Chronic neck and back pain
How We Diagnose Back & Neck Pain
Getting lasting relief starts with an accurate diagnosis. Your evaluation may include:
- A thorough consultation and physical exam
- Review of pain history and lifestyle factors
- On-site X-rays to assess spinal alignment
- MRI referral for detailed nerve and disc imaging
- Diagnostic injections or nerve blocks to pinpoint pain sources
This process allows us to design a treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs.
Treatment Options
Image-Guided Injections & Minimally Invasive Procedures:
- Epidural Steroid Injections (ESI): Reduce inflammation and nerve irritation, often used for herniated discs or sciatica.
- Facet Joint Injections & Medial Branch Blocks: Target small spinal joints to relieve pain and confirm diagnosis.
- Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): Disrupts pain signals from facet joints for longer-lasting relief.
- Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression (MILD): Relieves spinal stenosis by removing excess ligament tissue.
- Percutaneous Discectomy: Removes herniated disc material to ease nerve pressure.
- Kyphoplasty: Stabilizes compression fractures and restores vertebral height.
- Occipital Nerve Blocks & Botox for Migraines: Treat chronic neck-related headaches and migraines.
Advanced Pain Management Techniques
For complex or chronic pain unresponsive to conservative measures, we offer:
- Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS): Delivers mild electrical pulses to mask pain signals before they reach the brain.
- Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) Stimulation: Provides targeted relief for focal nerve pain, including CRPS.
- Intrathecal Pain Pump Therapy: Delivers medication directly to the spinal fluid for severe pain.
- Sympathetic Nerve Blocks: Reduce nerve-related pain and CRPS symptoms.
