Our clinic offers a number of effective options to relieve your pain. Treatment is based on the details of your condition and the severity of your pain.
Radiofrequency ablation
Radiofrequency ablation is a nonsurgical procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to destroy nerves responsible for transmitting your pain signals. Radiofrequency ablation effectively stops the pain signals from traveling between the affected area and your brain.
Radiofrequency ablation requires no downtime and often results in immediate pain relief. The procedure is commonly done to address issues like chronic lower back pain and is also used to effectively treat neck, back, knee, and pelvic pain.
Regenerative therapies
Regenerative medicine is a field of medicine that focuses on tissue regeneration as a way to promote healing and relieve pain. Dr. Syed Sadiq provides a number of innovative regenerative therapies, including stem cell and platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
Regenerative therapies are used to increase blood flow to injury sites and speed up healing. Regenerative medicine is commonly used to repair damaged tendons, ligaments, muscles, joints, and bone.
Joint injections
If you experience joint-related pain, joint injections can help preserve the function and structure of your joints and relieve painful symptoms.
Dr. Syed Sadiq offers steroid injections to reduce swelling and inflammation in affected joints. He also offers viscosupplementation injections like hyaluronic acid to restore lubrication to damaged joints.
