Targeted Injection

Using imaging guidance, a thin needle is carefully placed near the spine and celiac plexus. Medication is then injected to help block pain signals.

Aftercare & Recovery

Most patients return home the same day. Mild soreness at the injection site may occur but usually resolves quickly.

Pain Relief

Relief may begin within a few hours or days and can last for several weeks or months, depending on the underlying condition.

"I am delighted by the results. I limped into the office in a great deal of pain which I endured for months. After a few weeks of pain management, I was back to my swift walking. My last appointment recommended suggestions for maintenance and coming back if necessary. Great experience and friendly staff!"
