Conditions we treat

Point to it. We'll take it from there.

Your pain is specific — your treatment should be too. Select where it hurts and see what we can do about it.

Whole body:
Back pain

The pain you've learned to plan your day around.

Herniated discs, sciatica, stenosis — back pain is our most treated condition, and the reason most patients call. You don't have to know what's causing yours; that's our job. Most back patients start with an image-guided injection and walk out the same day.

Minimally invasive procedures.
One goal: your life back.

View all treatments
Lumbar epidural injection InjectionTargeted anti-inflammatory relief for lower back and leg pain — the workhorse of non-surgical care.
Radiofrequency ablation AblationQuiets the specific nerves carrying your pain signal. Relief that can last months, repeatable when it fades.
Spinal cord stimulator AdvancedA pacemaker for pain — implanted relief when injections have taken you as far as they can.
Facet joint injections InjectionFor arthritis-driven back and neck pain, treated at the joint itself under live imaging.
Kyphoplasty AdvancedStabilizes spinal compression fractures and relieves the deep ache they cause.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) RegenerativeYour body's own healing factors, concentrated and placed exactly where you need them.
SI joint fusion Surgical proceduresStabilizes a sacroiliac joint that's been the real source of your back pain, using small titanium implants placed through a one- to two-inch incision.
MILD (lumbar decompression) Surgical proceduresRemoves thickened ligament tissue crowding the spinal canal — relieving the leg pain and heaviness of spinal stenosis without an implant.
Organic facet fusion (Zenfuze) Surgical proceduresBone-derived, metal-free implants placed into the facet joints to restore natural spacing and calm inflammation — for low back pain that's outlasted physical therapy, medication, and injections.
Minuteman lumbar fusion Surgical proceduresA same-day, plate-based fusion that stabilizes a single spinal level through a one-inch incision, without disturbing the surrounding muscle and ligament support.
Intracept (nerve ablation) Surgical proceduresTargets the specific nerve inside the vertebra carrying your pain signal — for back pain imaging shows is coming from the bone itself, not the disc.
Peripheral nerve stimulation (Curonix) Surgical proceduresA small, wireless implant that quiets pain signals at the nerve itself — for localized pain that hasn't responded to injections alone.
Botox for chronic migraine BotoxFDA-approved preventive injections for patients with 15 or more headache days a month — calms the nerve signals that trigger migraine before they start.
Botox for cervical dystonia & myofascial pain BotoxRelieves the muscle spasm and pain of cervical dystonia, and select stubborn myofascial trigger points that haven't responded to injections alone.
Botox for hair restoration BotoxAn in-office scalp treatment that relaxes tension and improves blood flow to hair follicles — supportive care for thinning hair, not a treatment for pain.

Care you can
call by name.

The same physicians, the same team, visit after visit — because chronic pain is a relationship, not a transaction.

Your first visit

Three steps between you and a plan.

1
Call or book online

Same-week appointments in most cases. Bring your imaging if you have it — we'll handle the rest.

2
A real evaluation

Your physician reviews your history, your imaging, and your goals. You leave understanding what's actually causing your pain.

3
Your treatment plan

A stepwise plan starting with the least invasive option that works — most procedures happen on-site, same week.

"Finally a place that actually cares and doesn't judge you based on age. I've had 4 surgeries on my knee and bulging discs in my lower back — Dr. Wang actually listens to what the root problems are."
