Specific Procedures & Injections
At OCH Pain Management, we work to be accurate and precise in pain management and treatment. To assist with this, many of our procedures are assisted with the help of fluoroscopy. Fluoroscopy is an imaging tool that allows the physician to look into spinal or skeletal areas, identifying specific areas of pain and isolating that area for precision of treatment. This allows delivery of optimal care and targets the source of pain. Conscious sedation is an option for most patients, to allow procedures to be performed more comfortably.
Treatments offered include (but are not limited to):
- Epidural Steroid Injections
- Facet Joint Injections
- Carpal Tunnel Injections
- Radiofrequency and Chemical Nerve Ablation
- Occipital Nerve Blocks
- Epidural Blood Patch
- Major and Minor Joint Injections
- Synvisc® Knee Joint Injection Therapy
