Epidural steroid injections are used to help pinched nerves, radiculopathy, or sciatica, which can cause pain, weakness, or numbness down your arms or legs. Dr. Patel can put steroid and numbing medicine in the epidural space to help reduce swelling and inflammation, allowing the pinched nerve to heal.

This type of injection places numbing medicine at the nerves of the neck and back arthritic joints. For example, facet arthropathy, spondylosis, or spine arthritis, can occur in the neck or low back. After a test block, known as a medial branch block, proves effective, Radiofrequency Ablation can be performed.

Whether you are suffering from muscle pains or if you want to get relief from stiff or stressed muscles, Dr. Silky Patel can make your pain go away by using Trigger Point Injections. Trigger point injections can be very helpful in soothing Myalgia (muscle knots, aches, inflammation or pain) in your back and neck.
Dr. Silky Patel may recommend Electromyography (EMG) and Nerve Conditions Studies (NCS) tests that can really help to determine how damaged or injured your nerve is. Nerve or muscle diseases such as a pinched spinal nerve, peripheral neuropathy, myositis, and carpal tunnel syndrome can be easily identified by performing EMG/NCS tests.
Botox Injections are proven effective in not only reducing or lessening the appearance of facial wrinkles but also treating neck spasms (Cervical Dystonia) and excessive sweating (Hyperhidrosis). Dr. Silky Patel may recommend Botox Injections to prevent or treat chronic migraines, as well.
Dr. Silky Patel uses the Vertiflex procedure in order to deliver high-quality treatment for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis (LSS). This minimally invasive medical procedure involves placing an implant inside the spine which will help in reducing the space while the patient is walking or standing.
Lumbar Spinal Stenosis or LSS patients who are having trouble/problems in standing for long hours and walking a little farther can get huge relief from pain and numbness with the help of the MILD procedure.

Kyphoplasty/vertebroplasty procedures help by putting a type of 'cement' in a broken vertebrae. Vertebrae can be diagnosed with compression fractures caused by osteoporosis or falls. Without this treatment, compression fractures can be very painful and cause your spine to shorten.
