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 Louisiana Pain Care 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://lapaincare.com/trigger-point-injections/

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 Louisiana Pain Care to determine if a nerve block injection could provide relief for your chronic pain. https://lapaincare.com/nerve-blocks/

Do you have chronic pain in your neck, shoulder, or arm due to pinched nerves in the cervical or lumbar spine? You may be a candidate for epidural steroid injections. Common causes of this type of pain include a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, and radiculopathy. The treatment involves an injection of an anti-inflammatory medication administered into the epidural space surrounding the spinal nerves. This works to decrease pressure and swelling, which may be exacerbating pain. Epidural steroid injections have been shown to successfully reduce inflammation and associated pain. To determine if this treatment option is appropriate, please contact Louisiana Pain Care to schedule a consultation and find out if epidural steroid injections can help.
