Spine Injections
Spine injections are minimally invasive treatments that provide long-lasting relief by delivering medication directly to painful areas. Epidural steroid injections target inflammation or pinched nerves in the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar regions. Facet injections relieve pain from degenerative conditions affecting the joints between vertebrae, while sacroiliac joint injections address lower back and leg pain, sometimes combined with hip injections for extended relief.
Spine Stimulation
For those struggling with chronic pain, the spinal cord stimulator offers an effective solution by blocking pain sensations through a neurostimulation device. Dr. Ilana Etelzon, a pain management specialist in New York City, provides advanced and minimally invasive treatments for conditions like lower back pain, neck pain, pinched nerves, and sciatica. With a focus on non-operative and regenerative therapies, Dr. Etelzon brings expertise and up-to-date pain relief options to patients seeking comprehensive care.
Minimally Invasive
In the past, chronic back and neck pain often meant facing open back surgery with a long recovery or relying on prescription opioids. Now, minimally invasive spinal surgery options offer outpatient procedures with minimal tissue damage, fewer side effects, and faster recovery. Dr. Ilana Etelzon, a skilled interventional pain and musculoskeletal specialist in New York City, provides personalized treatment plans to break the pain cycle and deliver relief efficiently.
Regenerative
Regenerative medicine, or cell therapy, harnesses the body’s natural healing abilities to stimulate your body's healing abilities to repair or regenerate damaged tissues, organs, or joints. By using cells from your own body, pain management doctors can help your body to recover injured areas, making regenerative medicine one of the most advanced treatment options available.
Epidural Steroid Injections
The epidural space is the area surrounding your spinal canal and spinal cord. Injecting steroids into this space helps numb pain caused by inflammation or a pinched nerve. Depending on the pain location, you may benefit from cervical, thoracic, or lumbar epidural steroid injections. These procedures are especially effective for conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, and spinal stenosis.
Facet Joint Injections
Facet joints connect the vertebrae in your spine, facilitating movement and stability. Pain often results from degenerative disc disease or osteoarthritis, radiating to areas like your shoulders, buttocks, or upper legs. Facet joint injections, which deliver anesthesia directly to the joints or surrounding nerves, can significantly reduce this discomfort. For comprehensive relief, Dr. Etelzon may also recommend shoulder or knee injections if associated pain persists.
Sacroiliac Joint Injections
The sacroiliac joints link your sacrum and pelvic bones. Inflammation or dysfunction in these joints can lead to pain in your lower back, buttocks, or legs, often affecting one side of your body. Steroid injections in the sacroiliac joint target the inflammation to provide relief. For extended benefits, these injections may be combined with hip injections, ensuring pain is managed more effectively.
Spinal interventions are necessary when chronic pain, resulting from conditions such as herniated discs, nerve compression, or complex regional pain syndromes, severely impacts daily life and conservative treatments fail to provide relief. Dr. Ilana Etelzon offers minimally invasive procedures like Lumbar Discectomy, Cervical Discectomy, and Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) Stimulation, which address the root causes of pain with precision and reduced recovery times. These advanced surgical solutions restore mobility, alleviate pain, and improve overall quality of life, empowering patients to reclaim an active, pain-free lifestyle.
Spinal injections are specialized procedures designed to alleviate pain and inflammation affecting various regions of your spine. An expert in spinal pain management, like Dr. Ilana Etelzon, carefully evaluates your condition to determine the most effective type of injection based on a comprehensive examination and accurate diagnosis. These injections target specific areas to provide lasting relief and restore your quality of life.
Joint injections are an effective, minimally invasive solution for managing pain and restoring mobility in areas like the shoulder, knee, and hip, particularly when conditions such as arthritis, bursitis, tendinitis, or sports injuries limit daily activities. Dr. Etelzon utilizes advanced treatments, including cortisone, hyaluronic acid, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, to target pain at its source, reduce inflammation, and promote natural healing. With precision-guided imaging ensuring accuracy, these treatments provide fast relief, improve joint function, and can often delay or prevent the need for surgical interventions.
In addition to traditional spine injections, Dr. Etelzon employs cutting-edge treatments like radiofrequency ablation. This procedure uses specialized needles to disrupt the transmission of pain signals to your brain, similar to slowing down electrical impulses in a wire. Radiofrequency ablation can provide long-term relief for facetogenic pain, chronic arthritis, or degenerative diseases. The procedure is quick, typically taking only 10 to 15 minutes, and may be repeated several times a year for ongoing pain management.
Whether you’re dealing with chronic back pain, arthritis, or nerve-related discomfort, Dr. Ilana Etelzon’s expertise in spine injections and minimally invasive techniques can help you find relief and reclaim your active lifestyle.
