• Discogram
• A discogram can show if a disc has begun to
  rupture and if it has tears in the tough outer
  ring (the annulus). By injecting dye into the
  disc to increase pressure it can be determined if
  this is the area causing the pain.

Trigger Point Injections Trigger Point Injection
procedure used to treat painful areas of muscle
that contain knots of muscle that form when
muscles do not relax. Many times, such knots can
be felt under the skin, and in some instances may
irritate the nerves around them and cause
referred pain.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy. A small vial
of a patients blood is spun in a Centrifuge to
separate the platelet-rich plasma from the other
components. The concentrated platelets are
injected at the site of the patient's injury. The
growth factors that platelets secrete spur tissue
recovery.

• Spinal Cord Stimulation
• A spinal cord stimulator is a device that uses
  pulsed electrical signals to the spinal cord to
  control pain. Spinal cord stimulation consists of
  stimulating electrodes, implanted in the epidural
  space, an electrical pulse generator, implanted
  in the lower gluteal region. Spinal cord
  stimulation has notable analgesic properties and
  can be used for complex regional pain syndrome
  and other neuropathies.

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) RFA, or rhizotomy,
is used to treat severe chronic pain. Radio
frequency waves are used to produce heat on
specifically identified nerves surrounding the
facet joints on either side of the lumbar spine.
By generating heat around the nerve, its ability
to transmit pain signals to the brain is
destroyed, thus ablating the nerve.
Electrodiagnosis Electrodiagnostic tests assess
the neuropsychological function of peripheral
nerves. It is a method of obtaining information
by passively recording the electrical activity of
body parts, or by measuring their response to
external electrical stimulus.

  joints and the muscles around the joints. This
