Other Practices by Dr. Silky Patel:

Regenerative Medicine

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections are offered as part of regenerative medicine options and are designed to support the body’s natural healing response and may help reduce pain and inflammation in certain patients.

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 may be considered as an option to help reduce pain and inflammation in certain patients based on their evaluation and diagnosis.

Trigger Point Injections

Whether you are suffering from muscle pains or if you want to get relief from stiff or stressed muscles, Trigger point injections may be used as an option to help reduce muscle-related pain in certain patients. 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 conduction studies (NCS) are used to evaluate nerve and muscle function as part of the diagnostic process. 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 may be considered for certain conditions such as muscle-related pain or spasms based on clinical evaluation. Botox injections may also be considered as part of a management plan for certain patients based on evaluation.

Vertiflex

The Vertiflex procedure may be considered for certain patients with lumbar spinal stenosis based on evaluation and diagnosis. This minimally invasive procedure involves placing an implant in the spine to help relieve pressure associated with certain positions such as standing or walking.

MILD Procedure

The MILD procedure may be considered for certain patients with lumbar spinal stenosis who experience difficulty with standing or walking, and may help reduce pain and improve function. 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.
