Spinal stenosis occurs when the space within the spine narrows, leading to pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. Some people experience no symptoms, but others may have pain, tingling, numbness or muscle weakness. Symptoms vary based on which part of the spine is impacted. Lower back pain may occur with cramping in the legs while standing or walking, as well as trouble balancing. Neck pain may occur with numbness, tingling or weakness in the arm or hand. Over time, these symptoms can worsen. Spinal stenosis is most often caused by arthritis.

Vertebral compression fractures are often caused by osteoporosis or trauma. They result in sudden back pain and loss of vertebral height and shape. Kyphoplasty aims to relieve pain by lifting and supporting the collapsed bone. During the procedure, a cement-like material is injected into the fractured area using small instruments. After it hardens, this stabilizes the bone and fracture. For those with osteoporotic compression fracture pain, kyphoplasty provides effective long-term relief. If you have back pain from a vertebral compression fracture, contact Upper East Side Pain Management for a consultation.

Curious about Regenerative Medicine? Regenerative medicine, also known as orthobiologics offers a great opportunity to decrease pain, improve function and heal tissue with much shorter recovery times. One of the newest treatment options for musculoskeletal injuries and problems, these specialized treatments are an excellent alternative to repetitive corticosteroid injection or surgical intervention. Unlike our traditional treatment options that focus on addressing symptomatic improvement, the goal of regenerative medicine procedures is to improve or replace damaged tissue. Regenerative medicine procedures can be safely performed in an office or operative setting with very minimal risk.

Spinal stenosis commonly occurs in the cervical and lumbar areas of the spine. It is a narrowing of the spinal canal that strains the spinal cord and the nerve roots below the constriction. This condition is most often acquired due to age-related degeneration of the spine or traumatic injury to the spine. Common symptoms of lumbar spinal stenosis include radiating pain from the low back to the buttocks and down the legs, along with weakness and loss of sensation or tingling. The pain can worsen with standing, walking, or bending backwards, and lessen with sitting or leaning forward. At Upper East Side Interventional Pain we have treatments available to relieve pain caused by spinal stenosis.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) uses heat to destroy targeted tissue. For pain management procedures, radiofrequency waves are transmitted through a carefully positioned needle to generate localized heat around select nerve fibers. This process effectively interrupts the transmission of pain signals to the brain, providing relief. RFA is a minimally invasive technique that offers patients an alternative to more extensive surgical interventions or long-term pharmacotherapy in properly selected cases.​ Learn more and find out if you're a candidate today- https://uespain.com/radiofrequency-ablations/

Curious about Kyphoplasty? Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that can provide significant pain relief for patients experiencing compression fractures of the spine. The procedure aims to stabilize the fracture and help restore height and reduce deformities in the spine. During the procedure, a cement-like material is injected into the targeted area, which hardens within the bone, supporting and stabilizing the fracture to prevent further collapse. For patients suffering from painful spinal fractures, kyphoplasty provides an effective solution. Please contact Upper East Side Pain Management to schedule a consultation to evaluate if you're a candidate for kyphoplasty to achieve a pain-free lifestyle once again. https://uespain.com/services/
