Procedures Performed

Common outpatient procedures performed at this ambulatory surgery center, based on reported specialties.

Interventional Pain Management6
Epidural Steroid InjectionsSteroid medication is injected near irritated spinal nerve roots to calm inflammation causing sciatica or arm pain. Often used to make physical therapy tolerable rather than as a standalone cure. There are limits on how frequently they can be repeated.Nerve Block InjectionsAnesthetic, sometimes with steroid, is injected around a specific nerve to interrupt pain signals. Used both to treat pain and to identify its source, since relief from a precisely placed block points to the nerve responsible.Radiofrequency AblationHeat generated by radio waves disables the small nerves carrying pain signals from an arthritic spinal joint. Relief commonly lasts six months to two years. Because the nerves regenerate over time, the procedure can be repeated.Spinal Cord StimulationA device delivers mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord to interrupt chronic pain signals before they reach the brain. A temporary trial period is done first, so you can judge the benefit before committing to a permanent implant.Joint InjectionsSteroid or lubricating medication is injected directly into an arthritic or inflamed joint. Image guidance is often used to confirm placement. Relief typically lasts weeks to months and can make physical therapy more productive.Trigger Point InjectionsA local anesthetic is injected into a taut, tender knot of muscle to break the spasm-and-pain cycle. The appointment takes minutes and you can usually return to normal activity the same day.

I absolutely love Dr Shields. He takes pride in his work. He shows that I'm not just another patient, and cares about how I feel. His staff is great and friendly. Dr. Steve is great too always has a joke to make sure I'm comfortable and relaxed. Everybody here flows together to ensure they have my best interest at hand. They are attentive and I highly recommend. Only down fall is the wait time because they are highly requested but once you get in the back they have you in and out pretty fast.

I have fought back pain for many years. Numerous meds, shots, physical therapy, burning nerves etc. At my first visit with Dr. Shields he told me he promised me he would get me out of pain and that is what he has done. He is a great Dr. and gave me my life back and I couldn't thank him more or appreciate him more. I'm glad he didn't give up on me. It's been a long road but look forward to doing the numerous things that I haven't been able to do for year's. Thank you!!!
