Advanced Pain Management Treatments at the Radiance Pain Institute
At the Radiance Pain Institute, we use a wide range of advanced interventional procedures to help patients manage chronic and acute pain when conservative treatments are no longer enough. Injections such as bursa, joint, trigger point, and sacroiliac joint injections deliver medication directly to inflamed or irritated tissue, relieving pain while restoring mobility. Epidural steroid injections, medial branch blocks, and radiofrequency ablation target irritated spinal nerves or joints, reducing inflammation and interrupting pain signals. For nerve-related conditions, therapies like stellate ganglion blocks, lumbar sympathetic blocks, ilioinguinal nerve blocks, intercostal nerve blocks, and trigeminal nerve procedures are designed to calm overactive or damaged nerves and provide long-lasting relief.
For more complex cases, we offer innovative solutions such as spinal cord stimulation, which modifies pain signals before they reach the brain, and ketamine infusions, which can reset nerve pathways in certain chronic pain conditions. Regenerative and restorative techniques like vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty repair fractured vertebrae to restore stability, while ganglion impar and hypogastric plexus blocks are used to control severe pelvic or abdominal pain. Each of these treatments is minimally invasive, designed to provide relief without major surgery, and tailored to the individual’s unique condition and goals. By combining these therapies with compassionate care, the Radiance Pain Institute helps patients regain function and improve their quality of life.

Bursa Injections
When the small fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion your joints become inflamed, movement can be painful. Bursa injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly into the affected area to reduce swelling, ease pain, and restore mobility.
Celiac Plexus Block and Neurolysis
This treatment targets a network of nerves in the abdomen called the celiac plexus, often the source of severe abdominal or pancreatic pain. By blocking or calming these nerves, we provide lasting relief from chronic abdominal pain.
Epidural Steroid Injections
For patients with back or leg pain caused by herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or nerve irritation, epidural steroid injections reduce inflammation around the spinal nerves and provide significant pain relief.
Ganglion Impar Block
The ganglion impar is a nerve cluster near the tailbone that can cause chronic pelvic or rectal pain. Blocking this nerve can dramatically improve comfort and daily function.
Hypogastric Plexus Block
This procedure calms nerve signals in the lower abdomen and pelvis, offering relief for patients experiencing chronic pelvic pain or discomfort from cancer-related conditions.
Intercostal Nerve Blocks and RFA
For rib, chest wall, or upper abdominal pain, intercostal nerve blocks deliver relief directly to the irritated nerves between the ribs. In some cases, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is used for longer-lasting results.
Ilioinguinal Nerve Block
Pain in the lower abdomen, groin, or after certain surgeries can often be traced to the ilioinguinal nerve. A targeted block provides relief and allows healing.
Joint Injections
Arthritis, injury, or wear-and-tear can make joint pain unbearable. Injections deliver medication directly to the painful joint, reducing inflammation and helping you move more freely.
Ketamine Intravenous Infusion
For patients with severe, treatment-resistant pain, ketamine therapy can help reset the nervous system, reducing pain sensitivity and improving overall function.
Lumbar Sympathetic Block
This procedure targets nerves in the lower spine that control pain signals in the legs. It is especially helpful for conditions like complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) or chronic leg pain.
Medial Branch Block
Back and neck pain can often be traced to tiny nerves near the spine called medial branches. Blocking these nerves reduces pain and helps confirm if radiofrequency ablation may be the right next step.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
RFA uses controlled heat to interrupt overactive pain nerves, providing relief that can last months or even years. It is commonly used for spine and joint-related pain.
Spinal Cord Stimulation
This advanced therapy uses a small implanted device to send gentle electrical impulses to the spinal cord, modifying pain signals before they reach the brain. It’s especially helpful for chronic back, leg, or nerve pain that hasn’t responded to other treatments.
Trigeminal Nerve Blocks and Neurolysis
For facial pain and trigeminal neuralgia, blocking or calming the trigeminal nerve can bring dramatic, long-term relief.
Trigger Point Injections
Painful knots in muscles, known as trigger points, can cause localized pain or radiate discomfort elsewhere. Trigger point injections relax these tight muscle bands and restore mobility.
Vertebroplasty / Kyphoplasty
For patients with spinal fractures due to osteoporosis or injury, these procedures stabilize the broken vertebra using a special bone cement. This not only reduces pain but also helps prevent further collapse.
Stellate Ganglion Block
The stellate ganglion is a bundle of nerves in the neck that can contribute to head, neck, and upper body pain. Blocking this nerve cluster provides relief and improves circulation.
