Understanding Our Pain Procedures

At Synergex Med, we focus on various pain management techniques tailored to address both acute and pain conditions. Here’s a breakdown of the most common procedures we perform:

Injections

1. Epidural Injections

Epidural injections are frequently used to relieve neck and back pain. These procedures are particularly effective for conditions related to disc issues, such as herniation or protrusion. When a disc in the spine swells or herniates, it can press on a nerve root, causing symptoms like numbness, tingling, or shooting pain down the legs or arms.

How It Works?

• Procedure: We inject a steroid, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), or other medical treatments into the epidural space of the spine.
• Goal: The aim is to decrease inflammation around the nerve root, thereby reducing pain and improving function.

2. Medial Branch Blocks and Facet Injections

For patients experiencing pain due to joint inflammation or injury, particularly in the spine, we use medial branch blocks and facet injections. These procedures target the joints between the vertebrae, known as facet joints.

How It Works?

• Procedure: We inject a local anesthetic and/or steroid into the medial branch nerves that supply the facet joints.
• Goal: This helps to block pain signals and reduce inflammation in the affected joints.

3. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections

PRP injections are a powerful tool for treating joint pain, including shoulders and knees. This technique utilizes components of your own blood to promote healing.

How It Works?

• Procedure: We draw a sample of your blood, spin it in a centrifuge to separate the platelets, and then inject the PRP into the painful area.
• Goal: The platelets contain anti-inflammatory properties and growth factors that help to reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair.

4. Treating Inflammation

A significant amount of pain experienced by our patients is due to inflammation resulting from trauma or injury. By targeting this inflammation with PRP injections or steroids, we aim to alleviate pain and support faster healing.
