Procedures Performed

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

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.

Dr Brown and his team were wonderful! Dr Brown was very patient and took his time explaining my procedure. He addressed my questions and concerns and followed up with me after the procedure to make sure I was feeling okay. I highly recommend Pain Treatment Centers of America to anyone dealing with chronic pain. As someone who’s dealt with chronic pain for years it is wonderful to have found a team that actually takes the time to listen and understand.

I think my doctor is the best and everyone that she works with. They seem to really care about the patient answer any questions that the patient asked and they always do it with a smile so I just love that and they always pump pretty punctual not 100 but pretty close so that’s what makes me don’t mind going because they always on time And they do a follow up after the procedure and I like that so that is why I would recommend my family

Dr. I is very good. He takes the time during the initial consultation to really review your whole situation. Then they follow up with treatment. The whole team is professional and efficient. I highly recommend Dr. I!

The procedure went fine and I was in and out very fast. The only thing I would change is that I didn’t get IV sedation because Medicare no longer covers it for the procedure I had as they did in the past. If, or when, I have another I will pay for it if not covered. It’s worth it. I was sore throughout the day yesterday. All is well today. No pain from the procedure or in my hip. I would definitely recommend PTCOA. I have been using them for several years.
