How Atlanta Health Centers Can Help
Atlanta Health Centers offers a number of effective services to help manage your pain, regain your strength, and return your previous quality of life. We offer a number of therapies to diagnose, reduce, and eliminate pain. Some of our most effective treatment options for back pain include:
​
-
Injections
We offer a number of injection options that apply medications and steroids to the part of your body that is causing your pain for a quick and efficient treatment. -
Nerve blocks
If damaged nerves are causing your pain and discomfort, an Atlanta back pain doctor can place pain medication and steroids along these nerves to reduce pain and swelling. -
Radiofrequency nerve ablation
If our pain specialist determines that a spinal joint is responsible for your pain, he may use radiofrequency nerve ablation. This treatment method uses a specialized needle that permanently blocks pain signals, providing relief for up to 10 months. -
Biofeedback therapy
Biofeedback therapy helps to distract your thoughts away from pain. This treatment method is also good for overall health since it promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and increases self-esteem. -
Prescription medication
Our pain specialists can prescribe non-addictive medications that can help alleviate pain. This may include non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs or muscle relaxants. Many patients have also responded positively to antidepressant and anti-seizure medications.
