The sciatic nerve is a large nerve in the body. It is one of the largest nerves that runs from the lower lumbar, through the buttock, down the leg and into the foot. If you experience sciatica nerve pain, it can be an extremely painful experience.

These treatment choices are provided by highly trained doctors at The Pain Treatment Specialists and avoid the risks associated with back surgery and narcotics. These treatment options include: 

  • Epidural Steroid Injections

The West Orange clinic is near Essex Country Club. All of the clinics house a team of expert pain doctors providing the latest non-invasive treatment options for functional pain complaints.

Now let’s look at some of the latest treatment options for knee pain near Hackensack NJ.

Epidural Steroid Injections

Steroid injections are a popular way to alleviate nerve pain. Epidural steroid injections can successfully target inflammation and reduce pain in the affected area. Steroid injections are a safe treatment option which can instantly alleviate pain and help you return to daily activities with relative ease.

During this procedure, the patient remains awake so they can provide information to the pain doctor. Valium may be provided to keep the patient comfortable. The pain doctor will then ask the patient to lie on the X-Ray table. Local anesthetic will then be applied to numb the affected area.

Once the patient is comfortable, the sciatica doctor will inject a needle into the epidural space in the spine. The doctor will use fluoroscopic guidance (a special type of X-Ray) to watch the procedure in real time and guide the needle with maximum accuracy.

The steroid medicine is then injected directly into the epidural space to alleviate inflammation and pain. The procedure takes up to 30 minutes and encourages instant pain relief.

Epidural steroid injections last for long periods of time and can work well in conjunction with other therapies, like physical therapy.

Facet Joint Injections

The facet joints are the connections between the bones of the spine. Facet joint injections can alleviate low back pain in a safe and pain free way.

During this procedure, a pain doctor will clean the lower lumbar with antiseptic soap. They will then use fluoroscopic guidance (a special type of X-Ray) so the doctor can view the procedure in real time. The sciatica doctor will then inject local anesthetic (using the X-Ray guidance) to alleviate the pain in the facet joint nerves.

Once the procedure is over, the sciatica doctor will cover the area with some bandages. The patient will then be able to return to daily activities with relative ease.

Lumbar Radiofrequency Ablation

Lumbar radiofrequency ablation is one of the most innovative procedures in pain medicine. It is a low risk way to benefit from long term pain relief and can target the lumbar facet joint nerves if they are confirmed as being the source of the pain.

A sciatica pain specialist will place a small, insulated needle next to the nerves responsible for sending pain signals to the brain. A radiofrequency cannula can also be used instead of an insulated needle.

Once this is placed in the correct sites of the lumbar, the pain doctor will transmit small currents of energy to the tip of the needle at two different frequencies. This will confirm to the pain doctor that the cannula tip is near the correct facet nerve and is not going to impact any other nerves.

After confirming the best positioning of the radiofrequency cannula (or insulated needle) the pain doctor will numb the area. They will then heat up the cannula tip for 90 seconds so that the nerve is disrupted. This stops the nerves from sending pain signals to the brain and achieves long term pain relief. 

Spinal Cord Stimulation

Spinal cord stimulation describes when a pain doctor modifies the intensity and frequency of a pain signal before it registers in the brain. It is one of the last recommendations for lower lumbar pain if the other treatment options don’t work for you.

A pain doctor can place a spinal cord stimulator (SCS) under the skin. The SCS then transmits mild electric signals to the spinal cord. This will stimulate the nerves that are responsible for the pain. The SCS then modifies the pain signal so that it is not as intense for the patient. Some SCS devices can also exchange the sensations of pain for mild tingling feelings called paresthesia.
