At CLS Health, our board-certified interventional pain physicians diagnose and treat spine conditions using advanced, minimally invasive techniques designed to relieve pain and restore mobility.

How We Diagnose Back & Neck Pain
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective spine treatment. Our goal is to identify the exact source of your pain — whether it originates from a disc, joint, nerve, or surrounding soft tissue.
Your evaluation may include:
- A comprehensive consultation and physical examination
- Review of medical history, prior imaging, and symptom patterns
- On-site X-rays to evaluate spinal alignment and structural changes
- MRI referral when detailed nerve or disc imaging is needed
- Image-guided diagnostic injections to confirm the precise pain generator
This targeted approach allows us to develop a personalized treatment plan focused on the true cause of your discomfort — not just the symptoms — while helping many patients avoid unnecessary surgery.
Back Pain Treatment Options
Our interventional spine specialists offer a full spectrum of non-surgical and minimally invasive treatments designed to reduce inflammation, relieve nerve pressure, and restore mobility.
Non-Surgical Spine Injections
- Epidural Steroid Injections (ESI): Reduce nerve inflammation caused by herniated discs or sciatica
- Facet Joint Injections: Target arthritic pain in the small joints of the spine
- Medial Branch Blocks: Confirm and relieve facet joint pain
Minimally Invasive Spine Procedures
- MILD (Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression): Relieves spinal stenosis by removing excess ligament tissue
- Percutaneous Discectomy: Removes herniated disc material to reduce nerve compression
- Kyphoplasty: Stabilizes compression fractures and restores vertebral height
Every treatment plan is individualized. Many patients improve significantly without the need for traditional spine surgery.
Neuromodulation for Chronic Spine Pain
For patients with persistent back or leg pain that does not respond to injections or conservative therapy, advanced neuromodulation may provide long-term relief.
- Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS): Delivers mild electrical pulses to interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain
- Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) Stimulation: Provides targeted therapy for focal nerve-related pain
Neuromodulation is typically considered when other non-surgical treatments have not provided adequate relief.
Do You Need Surgery for Back Pain?
Many patients assume spine surgery is the only solution for chronic back pain — but that is often not the case.
Most back and neck pain conditions improve with non-surgical treatment when addressed early and appropriately.
Interventional pain medicine focuses on:
- Reducing inflammation
- Relieving nerve compression
- Stabilizing painful joints
- Improving mobility without major surgery
Surgery is generally reserved for specific situations, such as:
- Progressive neurological weakness
- Severe spinal instability
- Structural damage requiring surgical correction
Our specialists carefully evaluate each case to determine the most appropriate level of care. When possible, we prioritize effective non-surgical options designed to relieve pain while preserving normal spinal function.
