Pain Management
To combat the effects of chronic back and neck pain that have persisted despite non-invasive treatments, a physiatrist at the Spine Institute may elect to administer local anesthetics and steroids into the collection of nerves in the back. Acupuncture, another form of pain management, uses fine needles that may release endorphins in the body to make the patient feel better.
