Back & Spinal Pain Treatments

Back and spinal pain can be a challenging and debilitating condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Fortunately, there are many different treatments available that can help to alleviate back pain and improve quality of life. The specific treatment that is best for each individual will depend on factors like the underlying cause of the pain, the severity of the pain, and the individual’s overall health and medical history.

Epidural Steroid Injections

An epidural steroid injection is a procedure that involves injecting steroid medication around the spinal cord to reduce inflammation and relieve pain in the lower back or neck. X-ray guidance is used to ensure that the injection is placed in the correct location, avoiding any sensitive structures in the area. The procedure can be helpful for people with conditions like spinal stenosis, herniated discs or sciatica.

Medial Branch Blocks

Medial branch blocks are diagnostic nerve blocks to help determine the source of your pain. Numbing medication is injected into nerves located in the small joints between the vertebrae of the spine called the facet joints. These nerves get pinched by arthritis in your spine. A positive result from a medial branch block would be complete pain relief immediately following the injection. Most people only get a couple of hours of relief but some people get months or years of relief from the medial branch blocks. The overall goal is to determine the nerves that are the source of your pain so that we can then use radiofrequency ablation to damage those nerves which provides longer lasting relief.

Radio-frequency Ablation

Radio-frequency ablation is a procedure that uses heat generated from radio waves to damage specific nerves and reduce pain signals to the brain. The procedure is typically used to treat chronic pain in areas like the neck, back, or joints. During the procedure, a needle with an electrode is inserted near the targeted nerves, and radio waves are used to generate heat that damages the nerve fibers. This can provide pain relief that can last for several months or longer.

Sympathetic Nerve Blocks

A sympathetic nerve block involves injecting medication into the sympathetic nerves located in the neck, chest, or back. The goal of the injection is to reduce pain and other symptoms caused by conditions like reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) or complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). The medication used in the injection typically includes a local anesthetic and a steroid medication. The block can provide pain relief that can last for several months or longer.

Trigger Point Injections

Trigger point injections involve injecting a small amount of medication directly into the affected muscle to relieve pain and discomfort caused by muscle tension or spasms.

Vertebroplasty & Kyphoplasty

Vertebroplasty & Kyphoplasty are used to treat compression fractures in your vertebrae. In vertebroplasty, a type of medical-grade cement is injected into the fractured vertebra to stabilize it. In kyphoplasty, a small balloon is first inserted into the fractured vertebra to create space, and then the cement is injected into the space to stabilize the vertebra.

Neurostimulation

Neurostimulation involves essentially an epidural injection and then tiny wires are inserted and placed near the spinal cord. These wires then send electrical impulses that can help to block pain signals from reaching the brain. This can be helpful for people with chronic pain conditions that have not responded well to other treatments. Watch our videos to learn more.

DRG Stimulation

Dorsal root ganglion or DRG stimulation is similar to neurostimulation but involves placing the electrodes near the dorsal root ganglion, a cluster of nerve cells near the spinal cord. This can be helpful for people with complex regional pain syndrome of the distal extremities.

Intrathecal Drug Delivery

Intrathecal drug delivery involves placing a small pump with an epidural catheter attached, under the skin of the abdomen. The catheter is placed into the fluid surrounding the spinal cord. This then delivers medication at a constant rate right of the source of the pain, the nerves. This is often a last resort for people who have failed all other treatments.

Medication Management

Medication management refers to the use of medications to control your pain. While our goal is to treat chronic pain without medication, we understand in some circumstances procedures are not an option and we can safely provide and monitor the use of different types of medications, including prescription pain medication and provide guidance on over the counter options available.

Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression procedure

Dr. McKeag has started doing the MILD procedure again. For years he offered it in North Platte but when he began his pain management fellowship he quit offering this service. He is excited to be able to offer this procedure again to his patients. When epidurals are no longer effective at treating pain related to spinal stenosis, this procedure is an option. It has a safety profile similar to an epidural and can provide longer lasting relief. This procedure was designed to help people be able to stand longer and walk farther without pain. If you have difficulty standing up straight without pain or walking without leaning on something like a walker or grocery cart, this procedure may be right for you. This procedure begins as an epidural and then some of the ligament that is causing the stenosis is removed.

Basivertebral Nerve Ablation for Vertebrogenic Low Back Pain

In March 2023 Dr. McKeag had training for the Intracept procedure. This procedure is for people with vertebrogenic back pain, where the source of your pain is the bones in your back. Similar to a vertebroplasty, a needle is inserted into the vertebra identified by MRI to be the source of your pain. Then using radiofrequency that nerve is heated up thereby destroying the pain signals.

Minimally Invasive Posterior Spinal Fusion for the treatment of degenerative disc disease

In February 2023 Dr. McKeag underwent training on a minimally invasive posterior spinal fusion using the Minuteman device. This is an option for people who don’t want or can’t have major back surgery when other less invasive procedures are no longer effective (for example epidurals)

Temporary Peripheral Neurostimulator

Anxious about the possibility of a permanent device implanted near your spine? Never fear, we have another option where you temporarily wear a device for 60 days and have it removed. Patient’s have seen a year of relief or more with this and there is no concern with a permanent device. Dr. McKeag trained for this device this spring and has a handful of patients scheduled to get try this device in April. It can treat back pain but also specific joint and nerve pains.

Joint Pain Treatments

Joint pain can be a common and frustrating condition that affects many people, particularly as they age. One treatment option for joint pain is sacroiliac joint injections, which involve injecting medication directly into the sacroiliac joint to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain. This procedure can be helpful for people with conditions like arthritis or injury-related joint pain.

Abdominal Pain Treatments

Abdominal pain can be a common and uncomfortable condition that can have many different underlying causes, including nerve-related issues. One treatment option for abdominal pain is ilioinguinal nerve blocks, which involve injecting medication near the ilioinguinal nerve to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain. This procedure can be helpful for people with conditions like chronic abdominal pain, nerve-related pain, or pain related to surgical procedures.

Regenerative Medicine Techniques

Regenerative medicine treatments are a relatively new and exciting area of medicine that involves using the body’s own cells and tissues to promote healing and repair damaged tissue. Two common regenerative medicine treatments are platelet-rich plasma injections and stem cell injections. These treatments have shown promise in treating a range of conditions, including musculoskeletal injuries and degenerative conditions.

Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections

Platelet-rich plasma injections involve taking a sample of the patient’s blood, separating out the platelets, and injecting them into the injured or damaged area.

Stem Cell injections

Stem cell injections involve using either bone marrow-derived stem cells or mesenchymal stem cells derived from abdominal fat to help promote tissue repair and regeneration.

Hormone Optimization Therapy

Hormone therapy (HT) can be an effective treatment for symptoms related to hormonal imbalances or deficiencies, such as perimenopause, menopause, or low testosterone and andropause (male menopause). As a Biote Certified Provider, we have undergone specialized training in administering bioidentical hormone therapy. 

Bioidentical hormones are designed to be structurally identical to the hormones naturally produced by the body, which may reduce the risk of side effects compared to traditional hormone replacement therapy. We can help assess whether hormone optimization therapy is right for you, and develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and budget.
