At Atlas Pain Specialists we focus on treating chronic and acute pain without surgery. Dr Sean Ormond and the whole team prioritize identifying the true source of pain and using precise, minimally invasive treatments to reduce symptoms and improve daily function. Many patients seek care at Atlas Pain Specialists when standard treatments have not provided relief or when they want effective options that avoid surgery and lengthy recovery.

Through interventional pain medicine techniques, Dr Ormond treats a wide range of conditions involving the spine, joints, and nerves. These treatments may include precisely guided injections, nerve blocks, and other targeted therapies designed to reduce inflammation and interrupt pain signals. By treating pain at its source rather than masking symptoms, these methods can provide meaningful and lasting relief for many patients.

One example of this non surgical approach is the treatment of tailbone pain, also known as coccydynia. Instead of surgical intervention, Dr Ormond uses injections to deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly to the affected area. This can significantly reduce pain, especially for patients who experience discomfort when sitting or moving from sitting to standing.
These procedures are typically performed on an outpatient basis and require little downtime. Patients often return to normal activities quickly, making non surgical pain treatment an appealing option for those with busy lives or concerns about surgical risks. Relief may be felt shortly after treatment or may develop gradually as inflammation decreases.

Dr Ormond’s goal is to help patients regain comfort and mobility while avoiding unnecessary surgery whenever possible. By combining medical expertise, advanced technology, and individualized care plans, he offers effective solutions for managing pain and improving daily function through non surgical means.

A lumbar medial branch block is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat lower back pain that originates from the facet joints of the spine. These small joints provide stability and allow controlled movement, but when they become irritated or arthritic, they can cause persistent lower back pain that worsens with standing, twisting, or bending. At Atlas Pain Specialists, lumbar medial branch blocks are used to precisely target the nerves responsible for transmitting pain from these joints.

The procedure involves injecting a small amount of local anesthetic near the medial branch nerves, which supply sensation to the facet joints. Using real time imaging such as fluoroscopy, the injection is performed with high accuracy to ensure the correct nerves are treated. If the patient experiences significant pain relief following the injection, it confirms that the facet joints are the source of the pain and helps guide future treatment decisions.

Dr Sean Ormond at Atlas Pain Specialists uses lumbar medial branch blocks as part of a comprehensive non surgical pain management approach. These injections not only help reduce pain but also play a critical diagnostic role in determining whether a patient may benefit from longer lasting treatments such as radiofrequency ablation. The procedure is typically performed in an outpatient surgical setting, requires minimal recovery time, and allows patients to return to daily activities quickly while avoiding unnecessary surgery.

A nerve root block is a minimally invasive procedure used to relieve lower back and leg pain caused by irritation or inflammation of a spinal nerve as it exits the spine. At Atlas Pain Specialists, Dr Sean Ormond uses nerve root blocks to help patients whose pain is linked to conditions such as disc herniation, spinal stenosis, or nerve compression. These conditions often cause symptoms like sharp lower back pain, numbness, tingling, or pain that radiates down the leg, commonly referred to as sciatica.

The procedure involves injecting a small amount of local anesthetic combined with an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid near the affected nerve root using precise imaging guidance. The anesthetic helps confirm that the correct nerve is being treated by providing short term relief, while the steroid works over time to reduce inflammation and swelling around the nerve. This allows the nerve root block to serve both a diagnostic and therapeutic purpose, helping guide future treatment decisions.

Nerve root blocks are typically performed on an outpatient basis and require minimal recovery time. Many patients experience immediate improvement from the anesthetic, followed by longer lasting relief as inflammation decreases over the next several days. Dr Sean Ormond carefully evaluates each patient at Atlas Pain Specialists to determine whether a nerve root block is appropriate and how it fits into a broader non surgical pain management plan focused on reducing pain.
