Overview

While most surgical procedures and injuries heal over time, some patients continue to experience pain long after the expected recovery period. Post-surgical and chronic pain syndromes can result from nerve injury, inflammation, scar tissue formation, or altered pain processing. These conditions are complex and often require a specialized approach beyond standard medications or physical therapy.

At Restore Spine and Pain, we focus on identifying the root causes of ongoing pain and tailoring treatment to support long-term relief and improved function. Whether your pain started after a spinal surgery, joint replacement, or a traumatic injury, we are here to help.

Our Approach

We begin with a comprehensive evaluation that may include imaging review, physical exam, and diagnostic procedures. Our goal is to reduce pain, restore function, and help patients move forward in their recovery.

1. Non-opioid medications tailored to the pain type
2. Image-guided nerve blocks or epidural injections
3. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) for treatment-resistant cases
4. Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) for localized nerve-related pain
5. Physical therapy and desensitization strategies
6. Collaboration with surgeons or rehabilitation specialists
