That pain at the base of your skull has a name. 👆

Most people chalk it up to stress or bad posture and just push through it. But chronic head and neck pain that keeps coming back usually has a real source, and it's often right where your spine meets your skull.

Occipital neuralgia and cervicogenic headaches are incredibly common and incredibly misdiagnosed. People spend years treating the wrong thing.

At Atlas Pain Specialists we look for the actual source of your pain and treat it with minimally invasive, targeted procedures. No guessing, no masking symptoms.

Too many people spend years just pushing through their pain, assuming it's something they have to accept as part of their daily life. Dr. Sean Ormond believes otherwise.

You don't have to keep suffering through it. The right care can make a real difference, and it starts with a conversation.

If you've been dealing with chronic low back pain and nothing seems to give you lasting relief, you're not alone and there may be a reason why the usual treatments haven't worked.

For many patients, the source of their pain isn't a muscle or a disc. It's the basivertebral nerve, a small nerve inside the vertebrae that can become a significant driver of chronic back pain, particularly the kind that gets worse with sitting, standing, or everyday movement. The Intracept Procedure targets exactly that.

It's a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to disrupt the basivertebral nerve and stop it from sending pain signals. No implants, no major surgery, and for the right candidate, the results can be life changing. Clinical studies have shown that patients experience significant and lasting pain relief, often after years of unsuccessful treatment.

At Atlas Pain Specialists, Dr. Ormond evaluates each patient carefully to determine whether the Intracept Procedure is the right fit for their specific condition. If you've tried other options without success, this could be the answer you've been looking for.

Sitting for long hours might feel harmless, but it's one of the most common reasons people develop chronic back pain. The good news is that a few simple habits can make a significant difference in how your back feels at the end of the day.

1. Sit with your feet flat on the floor and your screen at eye level.
2. Get up and move for at least a few minutes every hour.
3. Strengthen your core, because it supports your spine more than you think.
4. Take your back pain seriously early, before it becomes something harder to manage.

Back pain that starts as occasional stiffness can gradually take over your daily routine if it goes unaddressed. If you've been pushing through discomfort for a while now, it might be time to have it properly looked at. Dr. Ormond works with patients to understand the root cause of their pain and build a plan that fits their lifestyle, so they can get back to feeling like themselves.

If you have a cortisone injection coming up, you probably have a few questions about what to expect afterward, and driving is usually one of the first things people ask about.
In most cases, people are able to drive after a shoulder cortisone injection, but the answer isn't the same for everyone. It depends on factors like temporary numbness from the anesthetic, your pain levels right after the procedure, and which arm was treated. Understanding what happens in those first hours after the injection can really help you plan ahead and avoid putting unnecessary strain on your shoulder while it begins to recover.
Our latest blog breaks it all down so you know exactly what to expect before you leave the clinic: https://atlaspainspecialists.com/can-you-drive-after-a-cortisone-injection-in-the-shoulder/

At Atlas Pain Specialists we focus on treating chronic and acute pain without surgery. Dr Sean Ormond and the whole team prioritize identifying the true source of pain and using precise, minimally invasive treatments to reduce symptoms and improve daily function. Many patients seek care at Atlas Pain Specialists when standard treatments have not provided relief or when they want effective options that avoid surgery and lengthy recovery.

Through interventional pain medicine techniques, Dr Ormond treats a wide range of conditions involving the spine, joints, and nerves. These treatments may include precisely guided injections, nerve blocks, and other targeted therapies designed to reduce inflammation and interrupt pain signals. By treating pain at its source rather than masking symptoms, these methods can provide meaningful and lasting relief for many patients.

One example of this non surgical approach is the treatment of tailbone pain, also known as coccydynia. Instead of surgical intervention, Dr Ormond uses injections to deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly to the affected area. This can significantly reduce pain, especially for patients who experience discomfort when sitting or moving from sitting to standing.
These procedures are typically performed on an outpatient basis and require little downtime. Patients often return to normal activities quickly, making non surgical pain treatment an appealing option for those with busy lives or concerns about surgical risks. Relief may be felt shortly after treatment or may develop gradually as inflammation decreases.

Dr Ormond’s goal is to help patients regain comfort and mobility while avoiding unnecessary surgery whenever possible. By combining medical expertise, advanced technology, and individualized care plans, he offers effective solutions for managing pain and improving daily function through non surgical means.
