Pain Management in Lawrenceville, GA

Patients at our pain clinic in Lawrenceville, GA, come in with a wide range of neck, back and joint pain, including:

• Herniated Disc: diagnosed after an MRI shows a disc pressing on a nerve, often causing pain that radiates down an arm or leg.
• Degenerative Disc Disease: the wear-and-tear discs go through with age, common in patients who've spent decades on their feet.
• Lumbar Radiculopathy (Sciatica): burning or shooting pain that travels from the lower back down the leg.
• Spinal Stenosis: narrowing of the spinal canal that can make standing in line or walking any distance uncomfortable.
• Facet Joint Pain: inflammation in the small joints that connect each vertebra.
• Post-Laminectomy Syndrome (Failed Back Syndrome): pain that continues after a prior back surgery didn't fully resolve it.
• Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS): nerve pain that develops in a limb after an injury.
• Fibromyalgia: widespread pain that's worn down years of trying to push through it alone.
• Chronic Back Pain: general back pain that hasn't responded to rest, physical therapy or over-the-counter medication.

This is the model for pain management Lawrenceville patients rely on: start conservative, escalate only if needed, and reserve surgery for the cases that truly require it. The Lawrenceville office offers all 19 standard treatments, plus two procedures available only here because of the in-house Ambulatory Surgical Center:

• Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injection: reduces inflammation around a compressed lower-back nerve root.
• Cervical Epidural Steroid Injection: eases neck and arm pain from nerve inflammation.
• Lumbar Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection: a more targeted epidural, guided to the affected nerve.
• Facet Joint Injections: numbs and treats the spine's small connecting joints.
• Medial Branch Block: confirms which facet joint is causing the pain.
• Sacroiliac Joint Steroid Injection: targets pain where the spine meets the pelvis.
• Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): uses heat to quiet an overactive pain nerve.
• Lumbar Radiofrequency Neurotomy: longer-lasting nerve relief for the lower back.
• Cervical Facet Radiofrequency Neurotomy: the neck version of the same procedure.
• Rhizotomy: interrupts pain signals from a joint with controlled heat.
• Genicular Radiofrequency Ablation: treats chronic knee pain.
• Celiac Plexus Block: eases abdominal pain, including pancreatitis or cancer-related pain.
• Stellate Ganglion Block: treats CRPS and nerve pain in the face, neck or arms.
• Lumbar Sympathetic Block: eases CRPS-related leg pain, given as a series.
• Discography: identifies which disc is causing the pain.
• MILD: removes small amounts of bone and tissue to relieve spinal stenosis.
• Vertiflex Superion: an implanted spacer that keeps the spinal canal open.
• Intrathecal Pump Implant: delivers pain medication directly to the spine.
• Back Pain Treatment: combines several of the above based on diagnosis.

Because this location includes Summit Spine's in-house Ambulatory Surgical Center, it's also one of the few offices in the network offering the following:

• Kyphoplasty for spinal compression fractures
• Spinal cord stimulation for chronic pain that hasn't responded to injections alone. Both are performed on-site, without a separate hospital referral.

Dr. Amit Patel, Summit Spine's CEO and a fellowship-trained interventional pain physician

Dr. Daniel Gianoli, double board-certified in anesthesiology and interventional pain medicine

Dr. Matthew Weinstein, double board-certified in physical medicine & rehabilitation and pain medicine

Advanced Care at Our Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC)

Our Lawrenceville location is proud to include a fully equipped Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC), offering patients access to advanced outpatient procedures in a safe and comfortable environment. Our ASC allows our board-certified, fellowship-trained physicians to perform a wide range of minimally invasive treatments, including spinal cord stimulation, nerve blocks, Basivertebral Nerve Ablation (BVNA), Kyphoplasty, and other advanced interventional pain procedures.

By choosing a Summit Spine ASC location, patients benefit from:

• Convenience: Same-day outpatient procedures without the need for a hospital stay.
• Lower Costs: A more affordable alternative to hospital outpatient departments.
• Personalized Care: Dedicated staff and facilities focused exclusively on interventional pain management.
• Advanced Technology: State-of-the-art equipment for safe, precise, and effective procedures.
• Patient Access: New patient appointments available within 24 hours; all major forms of insurance accepted

All of our surgery centers are designed to provide the highest level of care with shorter wait times, faster recovery, and improved comfort compared to hospital settings. This means you can return home the same day, recover in familiar surroundings, and get back to the activities you love sooner.

Our ASC locations also offer more insurance-friendly, patient-focused care. Most insurance companies prefer Ambulatory Surgical Centers over traditional hospital settings because they deliver the same advanced procedures at significantly lower costs. For patients, this means reduced out-of-pocket expenses, lower deductibles, and fewer surprise bills—without compromising safety or quality of care. At Summit Spine, our ASC locations are designed to align with these insurance efficiencies, giving you access to advanced pain-relieving procedures in a setting that is more affordable, streamlined, and centered on your needs.

At Summit Spine, we believe pain relief should be accessible, efficient, and compassionate. Our ASC-equipped locations are part of our commitment to delivering comprehensive, patient-centered, minimally invasive spine and pain management solutions that restore mobility and quality of life.
