- Stellate Ganglion Block (Cervical Spine) – for certain pain syndrome affecting the upper extremities
- Trigger Point Injections – performed for myofascial pain, Spinal Cord Stimulation (Neuroaugmentation) – A surgically placed electronic device in the patient’s back which emits small amounts of electrical stimulation The electrical impulses act to alleviate pain
- Ganglion of Impar Block

Our Advanced Therapies Of Pain Management
Radiofrequency Ablation
the targeted heat destruction of a nerve to alleviate pain. These procedures are most commonly performed on paravertebral facet joint nerves (cervical, thoracic, lumbar or sacral).
Intrathecal Morphine Pump Implant
For management of severe intractable pain. Reduces the dose of Morphine drastically. The battery has a prolonged life. A patient can go anywhere in the world between refills once in months.
Spinal Cord Stimulation (Neuroaugmentation)
Based on Gate–control theory. A surgically placed electronic device in the patient’s back which emits small amounts of electrical stimulation. The electrical impulses act to alleviate pain. For intractable neuropathic pain and peripheral vascular disease.
