Pain Management in Newnan, GA

 

Patients at the Newnan office come in with a range of neck, back and joint pain, including:

• Herniated Disc: disc tissue pressing outward against a spinal nerve, often with pain running down an arm or leg.
• Degenerative Disc Disease: the gradual loss of disc height and cushioning that comes with age.
• Lumbar Radiculopathy (Sciatica): nerve pain tracking from the lower back down into the leg or foot.
• Spinal Stenosis: a tightening spinal canal that crowds the nerves running through it.
• Facet Joint Pain: wear in the small joints that let the spine flex and rotate.
• Post-Laminectomy Syndrome (Failed Back Syndrome): pain that persists after a prior spine surgery.
• Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS): ongoing nerve pain that outlasts the injury that triggered it.
• Fibromyalgia: widespread pain and tenderness without a single clear source.
• Back Pain: pain that hasn't let up despite rest, medication or physical therapy.

 

The Newnan office provides 19 non-surgical treatments, matched to the diagnosis rather than applied as a default:

• Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injection: an anti-inflammatory injection placed near an irritated lower-back nerve.
• Cervical Epidural Steroid Injection: the same treatment aimed at the neck.
• Lumbar Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection: an injection guided directly to a single affected nerve root.
• Facet Joint Injections: quiets pain and swelling in the spine's connecting joints.
• Medial Branch Block: a diagnostic step that confirms which joint is the problem.
• Sacroiliac Joint Steroid Injection: for pain at the joint linking the spine and pelvis.
• Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): heat used to quiet a nerve that's sending pain signals.
• Lumbar Radiofrequency Neurotomy: a longer-lasting form of RFA for the lower back.
• Cervical Facet Radiofrequency Neurotomy: a longer-lasting form of RFA for the neck.
• Rhizotomy: disables a joint's pain-carrying nerve fibers with heat.
• Genicular Radiofrequency Ablation: targets nerves feeding a painful knee.
• Celiac Plexus Block: treats pain originating in the abdomen or digestive organs.
• Stellate Ganglion Block: treats nerve pain affecting the head, neck or arms.
• Lumbar Sympathetic Block: a set of spinal injections used to settle CRPS-driven leg pain over several sessions.
• Discography: an imaging study that identifies which disc is the pain source.
• MILD: a same-day procedure that removes pressure on a pinched nerve.
• Vertiflex Superion: a small implant that keeps a narrowed spinal canal open.
• Intrathecal Pump Implant: delivers low-dose pain medication straight to the spine.
• Back Pain Treatment: combines the options above into a plan built around the diagnosis.
