Pain Management in Stockbridge, GA

Summit Spine & Joint Centers’ Stockbridge office sits on Eagles Landing Parkway, providing pain management in Stockbridge, GA, for patients throughout Henry County, plus nearby Jonesboro, Morrow, Riverdale, Lovejoy, Rex and Flippen. The Stockbridge office treats all spine and joint pain, not just the neck and back most people think of first. Hips, knees and nerve-related pain show up on the schedule just as often.

Most patients here are managing pain that’s been building for a while: arthritis that’s crept up over the years, an old injury that never fully healed, or nerve pain a primary care visit couldn’t resolve. The first appointment is built around a diagnosis before anything is recommended.

This office also provides pain management for McDonough, GA, residents, since Henry County spans both cities without much of a commute between them. Same team, same scheduling, same insurance verification, regardless of which side of the county line you’re from.

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

• Herniated Disc: a disc that's bulged or ruptured enough to press on a nearby nerve.
• Degenerative Disc Disease: spinal discs that have thinned or dried out over time.
• Lumbar Radiculopathy (Sciatica): pinched-nerve pain that shoots down one leg.
• Spinal Stenosis: a tightening spinal canal that limits how far someone can comfortably walk.
• Facet Joint Pain: arthritis-like wear in the joints running down the spine.
• Post-Laminectomy Syndrome (Failed Back Syndrome): pain that persists even after a previous back surgery.
• Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS): intense, lingering nerve pain that follows an arm or leg injury.
• Fibromyalgia: chronic, body-wide pain and tenderness that's hard to pin to one cause.
• Back Pain: everyday back pain that hasn't let up with rest or over-the-counter care.

The Stockbridge office offers 19 non-surgical treatments, starting with the least invasive option likely to work:

• Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injection: a steroid injection aimed at a specific level of the lower spine.
• Cervical Epidural Steroid Injection: the neck-and-shoulder version of the same injection.
• Lumbar Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection: reaches the exact nerve root causing leg pain.
• Facet Joint Injections: settles down arthritic spinal joints.
• Medial Branch Block: a test injection that identifies the source joint before treatment.
• Sacroiliac Joint Steroid Injection: relieves pain at the base of the spine.
• Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): heat treatment that turns down an overactive pain nerve.
• Lumbar Radiofrequency Neurotomy: extends RFA relief for lower-back pain.
• Cervical Facet Radiofrequency Neurotomy: the same relief for neck pain.
• Rhizotomy: quiets a painful joint's nerve supply with heat.
• Genicular Radiofrequency Ablation: for knees that haven't responded to other care.
• Celiac Plexus Block: for abdominal pain tied to the spine or internal organs.
• Stellate Ganglion Block: calms nerve-driven pain in the upper body.
• Lumbar Sympathetic Block: a series of injections for CRPS-related leg pain.
• Discography: pinpoints which disc level is the actual problem.
• MILD: clears space around a pinched nerve without implants.
• Vertiflex Superion: a small spacer implant for spinal stenosis.
• Intrathecal Pump Implant: continuous low-dose pain medication delivered at the spine.
• Back Pain Treatment: a plan built around what's actually driving the pain.
