A Personalized, Non-Surgical Approach to Pain Relief
Summit Pain & Wellness provides comprehensive interventional pain management using minimally invasive, image-guided procedures to reduce pain, improve function, and help patients avoid or delay surgery. Services include radiofrequency ablation (RFA), epidural steroid injections (ESIs), diagnostic and therapeutic nerve blocks, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), regenerative medicine therapies, and a full range of joint and musculoskeletal injections. Every treatment plan is personalized and evidence-based, with a focus on restoring mobility, limiting long-term medication use, and improving quality of life. Interventional pain management offers a comprehensive alternative to long-term medication use and invasive surgery. Treatment plans are individualized, evidence-based, and focused on improving function, mobility, and quality of life.
TREATMENTS
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) of Sensory Nerves
Radiofrequency ablation is a highly effective treatment for chronic pain caused by irritated or arthritic joints and spinal structures. This procedure uses controlled heat energy to interrupt pain signals transmitted by sensory nerves.
Common RFA Applications:
Cervical, thoracic, and lumbar facet-mediated spine pain
Chronic neck and low back pain due to arthritis or spondylosis
Knee pain from osteoarthritis (genicular nerve ablation)
Hip pain related to joint degeneration
Patients typically experience significant pain relief lasting 6–18 months, with improved mobility and reduced reliance on medications.
TREATMENTS
Epidural Steroid Injections (ESIs)
Epidural steroid injections are used to reduce inflammation around spinal nerves and relieve pain caused by compression or irritation.
Conditions Treated:
Spinal stenosis
Sciatica
Cervical and lumbar radiculopathy
Herniated or bulging discs
Degenerative disc disease
Steroid medication is delivered precisely into the epidural space using fluoroscopic guidance to decrease nerve inflammation and improve function.
TREATMENTS
Diagnostic and Therapeutic Nerve Blocks
Nerve blocks involve targeted injections of anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication to identify and treat pain generators.
Common Uses:
Medial branch nerve blocks (spine-related pain)
Sacroiliac joint injections
Peripheral nerve blocks (shoulder, hip, knee, extremities)
Diagnostic confirmation prior to radiofrequency ablation
These procedures can provide immediate relief and guide long-term treatment planning.
TREATMENTS
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Platelet-rich plasma therapy is a regenerative treatment using a patient’s own blood to promote healing and reduce inflammation.
PRP Is Commonly Used For:
Osteoarthritis of the knee, hip, shoulder, and ankle
Tendon and ligament injuries
Joint degeneration and cartilage wear
Chronic musculoskeletal pain
PRP delivers concentrated growth factors directly to damaged tissue, supporting natural repair without surgery.Nerve blocks involve targeted injections of anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication to identify and treat pain generators.
TREATMENTS
Regenerative Medicine Therapies
Advanced regenerative treatments aim to restore joint health and slow degenerative changes.
Applications Include:
Moderate to severe osteoarthritis
Joint degeneration not responding to traditional injections
Patients seeking biologic, non-surgical options
These therapies are often combined with imaging guidance to ensure accurate placement and optimal outcomes.
TREATMENTS
Joint Injections & Advanced Musculoskeletal Treatments
Additional procedures offered include:
Intra-articular joint injections (knee, hip, shoulder, ankle)
Bursal injections for bursitis
Trigger point injections for myofascial pain
Peripheral nerve entrapment treatments
Ultrasound-guided musculoskeletal injections
All procedures are performed using fluoroscopy or ultrasound guidance to ensure precision, safety, and effectiveness.
