State-of-the-art fluoroscopy x-ray allows the physician to direct medication to the precise source of the pain with minimal side effects. Licensed CRNA's administer sedation to insure comfort during your procedure. The procedure only takes a few moments followed by a brief recovery and observation period. Your physician may recommend multiple treatment sessions to provide complete relief from the pain.
Please select from the following patient forms to print and bring with you on the day of your appointment.

On the day of your treatment, please take all of your usual medications with 1/4 cup of water unless specifically instructed otherwise.

Your procedure will be completed with minimal discomfort to you. Local anesthetics will be used to eliminate any pain from the procedure.
The procedure itself should take no longer than 30 minutes, but you will be required to remain in the comfortable recovery area for at least 30 additional minutes to allow the anesthesia to wear off. This also allows our highly trained nursing staff to observe you for any adverse affects from your procedure.
