Are you experiencing neck, shoulder, or arm pain due to a pinched nerve in your cervical or lumbar spine? Common causes include herniated disks, spinal stenosis, or radiculopathy. An epidural steroid injection may provide relief. During this procedure, an anti-inflammatory medication is administered into the epidural space surrounding the spinal nerves. This works to decrease pressure and swelling, which may be exacerbating pain. Epidural steroid injections have been shown to successfully reduce inflammation and associated pain. If you have been suffering from chronic back, neck, or leg pain, an epidural steroid injection could help. To determine if you may benefit from this treatment option, please contact Pontchartrain Orthopedics and Sports Medicine to schedule a consultation. We are happy to evaluate your condition and discuss whether epidural injections may help provide relief for your spinal pain. https://posm.org/conditions-we-treat/

Understanding what spinal stenosis is, what causes it, and when spinal stenosis requires treatment can help patients recognize symptoms and seek appropriate medical evaluation before pain or nerve problems interfere with daily activities.

Spinal stenosis is common, but significant symptoms should not simply be considered an unavoidable part of aging.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is an innovative type of regenerative medicine that accelerates the body's natural healing process, aiding in faster recovery from orthopedic injuries. PRP therapy promotes the healing of acute or chronic orthopedic injuries and provides relief from associated pain. PRP therapy is beneficial not only for professional athletes but also for individuals dealing with injuries, arthritis, or other joint and musculoskeletal problems. By increasing the concentration of growth factors in the affected area, PRP therapy jumpstarts and enhances the body's natural healing mechanisms. One of the greatest advantages of PRP therapy is its natural and safe. The treatment utilizes the patient's own blood components and as a result, PRP therapy has minimal side effects. Additionally, PRP therapy does not require extensive incisions, making it minimally invasive. To learn more about PRP, contact Pontchartrain Orthopedics and Sports Medicine today to find out if you're a candidate. https://posm.org/conditions-we-treat/
