The DFW Spine Institute specializes in treating acute and chronic types of pain, such as back pain, sciatica, and a wide range of other pain conditions. Our experienced team of experts is committed to helping patients in North Texas and beyond find relief with interventional pain management treatments that are minimally invasive and individually personalized. Our Pain Management Center serves the Dallas and Fort Worth communities with multiple convenient locations.
Acute Pain Management
Acute pain, which is a conditional and temporary pain that lasts no longer than 6 months, may occur as a result of an injury, a medical condition, or surgery. While acute pain is specific, there can be a variety of root causes. Our team of healthcare providers can diagnose the origin of your acute pain to personalize your treatment and provide pain relief with medication, targeted injections, and various types of physical therapies.
Chronic Pain Management
Chronic pain syndrome is recurring or constant pain that is ongoing. Chronic pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including nerve damage, injury, arthritis, and more, as well as back conditions such as pinched nerves, bone spurs, and slipped discs. At DFW Spine Institute, our pain management physicians can diagnose the cause and help alleviate debilitating pain with a range of minimally invasive options. A personalized treatment plan will take your medical history and pain levels into account, and may include medication, myofascial or joint injections, nerve block, or Rhizotomy (radiofrequency ablation). Patients may benefit from peripheral or spinal cord stimulators or transcranial and peripheral magnetic stimulation.
Medication Management
Treating pain is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor. At DFW Spine Institute, we take a comprehensive approach to understanding and treating pain with various types of analgesics. Our experts assess each patient’s medical history, current prescriptions, pain levels, and lifestyle goals to create an appropriate medication plan. Proper medication management can help build resilience and minimize side effects to restore quality of life.
Complementary Pain Management
Complementary pain management includes lifestyle changes and non-traditional pain relief techniques which can be used in place of, or along with, conventional approaches such as medication. Alternative pain therapies can include acupuncture, cognitive-behavioral therapies, manual therapies, supplements, medical yoga, and stretching.
Pain Mapping
The pain management specialists at DFW Spine Institute are dedicated to providing treatment that doesn’t just mask your pain but actually treats the root causes of pain. Pain mapping is a method of utilizing a variety of diagnostic tools to uncover the source of your pain. Techniques used to map your pain may include standard testing like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to more advanced tools, such as discography.
Injections For Back, Neck, Leg, and Arm Pain
If nerve pain is preventing you from living a full and active life, pain management injections can be an effective and minimally invasive solution. Our doctors are experienced in administering injections for long-lasting pain relief. We offer a variety of injectable pain management options, including steroid injections and nerve blocks, as well as drug-free injections that utilize a patient’s own Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) or stem cells.
Nerve Blocks
Nerve blocks are pain relief injections that can help patients with pain in the upper back, lower back, neck, legs, shoulders, and arms. Nerve blocks may help improve mobility for patients whose pain interferes with work or daily tasks. Nerve blocks can also be utilized as a diagnostic tool to determine if pain is being caused by a nerve issue. We offer a variety of nerve blocks, including Epidural Steroid injections and Facet Joint Blocks.
Rhizotomy
Rhizotomy, or radiofrequency ablation (RFA), is a minimally invasive procedure that can alleviate pain for patients suffering from lower or upper back pain, muscle spasms, and symptoms of facet joint disease. Rhizotomy works by suppressing the roots of nerves that have been identified as the cause of a patient’s pain. This procedure involves no incisions and can provide long-lasting, effective pain relief.
