Silky Patel MD has a strong grip in treating various physical conditions, be it Neuropathy, Nerve Pain, Osteoarthritis, or Spine issues. Her expertise in pain management services and treatment include the following.

Back Pain

Lifting too much weight, Trauma, Aging, and Overuse can cause mild to severe pain. Pain Management Doctors use non-surgical treatments to relieve back pain including Epidural Steroid Injections, Radiofrequency Ablation, and Spinal Cord Stimulation, among other pain-relieving treatments.

Spinal Cord Simulation

Spinal Cord Stimulation is a type of Neuromodulation that most Pain Management Specialists recommend to patients who are suffering from Radiculopathy (Pinched Nerves), Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS), Peripheral Neuropathy, Chronic back or neck pain, and Nerve Injury.

Epidural Steroid injections

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.

Neck Pain

Neck pain is one of the common conditions most people suffer from in their daily life. Sleeping in an uncomfortable position, leaning over your computer for a longer time, and poor posture causes neck pain and related problems. Degenerative Disc disease, in which the discs between the vertebrae become thinned out over time due to wear and tear, can also be treated by Dr. Patel.

Neuropathy

Do you need neuropathy or peripheral neuropathy treatment in Houston, Texas? If yes, then you should consult with Dr. Silky Patel for better and permanent pain relief from damaged or injured nerves affecting your arms, legs, or peripheral nervous system. Get effective neuropathy treatment for pain, numbness, and difficulty in walking or standing.

Radiofrequency Ablation

Get long-lasting relief from back pain, neck pain, and arthritic joint pain with the use of Radiofrequency Ablation. This medical procedure will target specific nerves that send pain signals to the brain, and disable their ability to send pain signals. Dr. Patel can stop neck, back, knee, and hip pain using radiofrequency ablation.

Regenerative Medicine For Chronic Pain

Using the latest and most effective regenerative medicine treatments, Dr. Silky Patel can help get pain relief from chronic pain. It is sure that chronic pain may last from several months to years if not diagnosed properly. This kind of persistent pain can be caused by inflammation or dysfunctional nerves. When left untreated, Chronic Pain can lead the patient to experience Insomnia or Sleeplessness, Anxiety, and Depression.

Sciatica

Pain radiating along the path of the sciatic nerve (runs from your lower back to down each leg) is often referred to as Sciatica. Usually, Sciatica affects only one side of the body and can cause pain and weakness in the leg and foot, making it difficult for patients to walk or stand comfortably.

Knee Pain

Your knee is a hinge joint that is responsible for weight-bearing and movement, and if the knee pain is restricting your movements, then it’s time to consult Dr. Silky Patel for knee pain treatment in Houston, Texas.

Hip Pain

Get an effective and excellent hip pain treatment by consulting Dr. Silky Patel MD to get permanent pain relief from hip pains as well as problems and live a healthy life. Reduce the number of sleepless nights due to constant pain and discomfort by getting our worthwhile hip pain treatment.

Other Practices by Dr. Silky Patel:

Regenerative Medicine – Platelet Rich Plasma & Bone Marrow Aspiration Concentrate Injections - Dr. Silky Patel can provide effective regenerative medicine which includes PRP (Platelet-rich Plasma) & Bone Marrow Aspiration concentrate Injections that help in healing and pain management.
Medial Branch Block injections - 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.
Joint Injections (Shoulder, Knee, Hip, Neck and Back) - Having enough experience in practicing non-surgical procedures, Dr. Patel has remarkable expertise in joint injections. Joint Injections are proven beneficial when it comes to rheumatoid arthritis, gout, psoriatic arthritis, bursitis, osteoarthritis, and other inflammatory joint conditions
Trigger Point Injections - 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.
EMG/NCS - 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 - 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.
Vertiflex - 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.
MILD Procedure -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. Dr. Patel takes proper care of patients while practicing this safe outpatient “Minimally Invasive Lumbar decompression” MILD procedure.
Sacroiliac (SI) joint injection - The SI joint is where the spinal column meets the pelvis, and this joint can become inflamed, causing SI joint pain. SI joint pain can feel like low back pain and can sometimes track down the leg. SI joint pain is caused by arthritis, and can also be felt during and after pregnancy. Dr Patel can inject your SI joint to help decrease your pain.
Kyphoplasty -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.
