Consultation
At your first appointment, we focus on you. Dr. Alexander listens to your questions, concerns, and health history to understand where your pain comes from. We may perform imaging or additional testing to best determine your treatment plan.
Treatment
Spinal injections may include epidurals, selective nerve blocks, facet joint injections, SI joint injections, and intradiscal procedures. In addition, we also perform hip, knee, and shoulder injections. Dr Alexander utilizes on-site fluoroscopy (X-ray guidance) when appropriate for most spinal injections to ensure accuracy and safety during the treatment process. Sedation is an available option for most spinal procedures.
Results
Pain relief can last months or even years. Most patients experience significant pain relief, better sleep, and improved mobility with only one to three procedures. Follow-up visits align with your results, making sure you stay on track toward lasting benefit. Over 90 percent of our patients significantly improve without surgery!
