Did you know colder weather can make pain feel worse?

When temperatures drop, muscles tighten, joints become stiffer, and inflammation can increase—especially for patients with:
🧊 Arthritis
🧊 Spine conditions
🧊 Nerve pain
🧊 Old injury sites

The good news?
Interventional pain treatments like epidural injections, Intracept, nerve ablations, and spinal cord stimulation can provide lasting relief—even in winter months.

Don’t let the cold slow you down. We’re here to help you stay moving. 💙

🎉 We’re Honored! 🎉
Our office has been officially recognized as an Intracept® Procedure Center of Excellence!

This designation highlights our commitment to providing advanced, evidence-based care for patients suffering from chronic low back pain.

🩺 What is the Intracept® Procedure?
The Intracept Procedure is a minimally invasive treatment that targets a key nerve within the vertebra called the basivertebral nerve (BVN) — often the source of chronic low back pain. By interrupting pain signals from this nerve, many patients experience lasting relief and improved function when other treatments have failed.

💬 Why It Matters:
Being recognized as a Center of Excellence means our team has achieved the highest standards in patient outcomes, procedural expertise, and ongoing education in the Intracept® technique.

📞 Ready to learn if the Intracept Procedure is right for you?

✨ Not all pain is the same — and not all treatments should be either. ✨

As an interventional pain specialist, I believe in listening first. Every patient’s story is unique, which is why I take the time to understand the root of each person’s pain before creating a treatment plan.

Rather than rushing to a “one-size-fits-all” solution, I carefully select the therapies that fit your condition, your goals, and your life.

Whether that means advanced interventional procedures or more conservative approaches, my goal is simple: to help you move with less pain and get back to living fully.

📍 If you or a loved one is struggling with chronic pain, know that thoughtful, individualized care does exist.
