Are you a candidate for Trigger Point Injections? Trigger point injections may provide relief for patients experiencing myofascial pain in the neck, shoulders, arms, legs, or back. Trigger points are hypersensitive knots that can develop within muscles. When present, they can cause localized or referred pain. During a trigger point injection, a medication is administered directly into the trigger point using a small needle. This works to temporarily deactivate the trigger point. If you have been experiencing deep muscle pain that will not resolve through rest, medication, or physical therapy, trigger point injections may be a worthwhile option to explore. Schedule a consultation with APICO Pain Management™ to determine if you are a good candidate for this minimally invasive pain relief procedure. Addressing and deactivating trigger points can help improve mobility and quality of life. https://apicopain.com/

Nerve Block Injections offer an effective treatment for Chronic Pain Management. If you suffer from chronic pain, you may be a candidate for a nerve block injection. This procedure utilizes imaging technology to precisely locate the nerves responsible for transmitting pain signals. Then, a medication is injected directly into the targeted nerve area. The goal is to interrupt pain signaling or decrease inflammation, allowing the body an opportunity to heal. Contact APICO Pain Management™ to determine if a nerve block injection could provide relief for your chronic pain. https://apicopain.com/

What is Degenerative disc disease? DDD is the wearing down of spinal discs, which are rubbery cushions located between the bones in your spinal column. These discs act as shock absorbers and facilitate comfortable movement, bending, and twisting. It is a natural part of aging for everyone's spinal discs to degenerate over time. The primary symptoms of degenerative disc disease are neck pain and back pain. The pain may come and go, lasting for weeks or months at a time, and it can cause numbness or tingling in the arms or legs. Additionally, the pain may radiate down the lower back and buttocks and worsen with sitting, bending, or lifting. DDD is caused by the natural aging process, which leads to the wearing down of spinal discs. As people age, the soft core of the discs, which is primarily composed of water, gradually loses water content. Consequently, the discs become thinner and offer less shock absorption than before. Minor injuries can also result in small cracks in the spinal discs, often near nerves. These tears can be painful, even if they are minor. The pain associated with DDD can occur in the neck or lower back and may extend into the arms, hands, buttocks, and legs.

Curious about Kyphoplasty? Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that can provide significant pain relief for patients experiencing compression fractures of the spine. The procedure aims to stabilize the fracture and help restore height and reduce deformities in the spine. During the procedure, a cement-like material is injected into the targeted area, which hardens within the bone, supporting and stabilizing the fracture to prevent further collapse. For patients suffering from painful spinal fractures, kyphoplasty provides an effective solution. Please contact APICO Pain Management™ to schedule a consultation to evaluate if you're a candidate for kyphoplasty to achieve a pain-free lifestyle once again. https://apicopain.com/
