Headaches
Arthritis
Fibromyalgia
Well, what if you could put that medication not just under the skin or in a muscle to numb it up? What if you were to put it straight into your veins and have it circulate throughout your entire body? This is where lidocaine infusions come in. Intravenous lidocaine infusions have been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of many chronic pain diagnoses which have been resistant to more traditional therapies, especially for neuropathic pain (or pain that is coming from nerves). Common neuropathic pain states that have been treated include: post- stroke pain, peripheral neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, complex regional pain syndrome, trigeminal neuralgia, atypical facial pain, shingles pain, headache/migraine, and fibromyalgia.
Plantar Fasciitis
Medical Weight Loss
While self-care measures can help manage minor joint pain, it’s important to seek medical attention when your symptoms persist or significantly affect your daily life. You should consult with a healthcare provider if you’re experiencing severe pain, joint deformity, inability to use the joint, unexplained weight loss, or if your symptoms don’t improve despite your self-care efforts. At Desert Pain Specialists, we have a team of expert healthcare providers who specialize in diagnosing and treating chronic joint pain. We understand that each patient is unique, and we strive to create personalized treatment plans tailored to meet your specific needs and lifestyle.

Neurology
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is a painful nerve pain condition that affects more than 20 million Americans. Here at Desert Pain specialists we keep current with any new treatments that may be beneficial to our patients. For many years, there were not many treatment options for people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. However, there are a couple recent treatment options that have emerged with FDA approval. One of those options is spinal cord stimulation, thanks to a journal article that appeared in JAMA Neurology in April 2021 proving that high frequency spinal cord stimulation was very effective at treating diabetic peripheral neuropathy pain. Please contact your Desert Pain Specialists physician for more information about this procedure. Also, ask us about our free education class on peripheral neuropathy.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Behavioral Health
The most common types of treatments Desert Pain Specialists may recommend are a combination of interventional therapies, alternative and behavioral health consultations to address all aspects of your pain. Research has shown that cancer pain can be a mental battle along with a physical battle. Combined with steroid injections, opioid medications, acupuncture, and therapy, most patients experience reduced pain relief over time.

Ultrasound
Patients may experience some immediate pain relief from the local anesthetic which will wear off after several hours. Longer-term pain relief can take up to two weeks to take full effect. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activity for 24 hours after the procedure, and may then resume regular activity. Pain relief can range between three and six months, however may last longer and be repeated as needed. Ultrasound or x-ray guidance may be used for some injections pending the severity of arthritis in the area.
MRI
Prior to the SI joint fusing procedure, a pain specialist at Desert Pain Specialists will do an assessment. A detailed history and medical exam will help us make this diagnosis. Commonly an MRI and other tests such as an X-Ray will need to be ordered. If a trial of standard conservative treatment has be unsuccessful, then a patient becomes eligible for this procedure. Individuals suffering of SI joint pain can be those who have sustained trauma to their lower back or extremities from such as an automobile accident, have had previous lower spine fusion procedures, or can also be women who have given birth; although SI joint pain is not exclusive to these conditions. If you suffer from SI joint pain or suspect your continuing back pain may be associated with the SI joint, please contact Desert Pain Specialists to consult with our Medical Professionals.
X-Rays
Chemotherapy
As previously mentioned, cancer pain can come from many different sources. Oftentimes, cancer or tumor can press on surrounding structures, causing severe shooting stabbing-like pain. Also, common medications to treat cancer like chemotherapy drugs can cause side effects causing increased pain.

Sciatica
A caudal steroid injection is a minimally invasive treatment option for patients suffering from chronic low back and radicular pain affecting the lower limbs. Pain in these areas can be caused by many common conditions including herniated discs, bone spurs, sciatica, and many more. This procedure uses a corticosteroid medication and anesthetic mixture to relieve pain and reduce inflammation in the area. For this procedure, patients will be taken to a procedure suite and placed on an operating table. The injection site will be cleaned and the skin will be prepped with a local anesthetic to numb the skin. Once the skin is numb, your physician will insert a needle through the sacral hiatus, which is an opening at the lower end of the sacrum, and inject a contrast dye if applicable. Using a live fluoroscopy (x-ray) machine, the physician will ensure the correct area is being targeted throughout the injection. Your physician will then inject the steroid-anesthetic mixture into the inflamed nerves to reduce inflammation. When the procedure is complete, the needle will be removed and a bandage will be placed over the injection site.
Whiplash
The causes of neck pain can be diverse and complex, spanning from poor posture and repetitive strain to traumatic injuries like whiplash. More serious conditions such as herniated discs and osteoarthritis can also lead to persistent neck discomfort. In our mission to provide the best treatment for neck pain, we focus on accurately pinpointing the cause of your discomfort. For example, poor posture, a prevalent issue in today’s digital age, can lead to chronic neck pain. Whiplash, often resulting from sudden impacts or accidents, can cause acute pain that evolves into chronic discomfort if left untreated. Repetitive strain, common in certain occupations or activities, can lead to ongoing neck problems. More serious health conditions like herniated discs or osteoarthritis can also cause chronic neck pain. Once we identify the root cause, we’re able to tailor a specific neck pain treatment plan for each patient.

Botox
Botox injections are a minimally invasive treatment used to treat patients suffering from chronic migraine headaches, spasticity, myofascial pain, neck pain, or neuropathy. Botox, derived from botulinum toxin, is composed of a purified protein that can help relax overactive and painful muscles associated with the above-mentioned conditions.

Physical Therapists

Physical Therapy
There are specific diagnostics and tests that can be performed during an exam to determine if the SI joint is generating pain. Once a patient is diagnosed and determined the SI Joint is generating pain, a conservative treatment plan is prescribed to include physical therapy and/or medications. An additional treatment option offered by Desert Pain Specialists is to provide cortico-steroid injections directly into the joint, causing the source of pain. This injection, most often, is a successful procedure and brings desired relief. However, injections are many times temporary, where relief could last from a varied range of weeks to months. Suppose conservative treatment or injections do not bring relief. In that case, Physicians at Desert Pain Specialists now offer a minimally invasive outpatient procedure to eliminate or reduce the excess motion in the joint to relieve pain. Implants made of titanium are delivered through a small tube to provide fixation across the SI joint. This fixation eliminates/reduces motion in the joint, directly addressing the pain generators. Additionally, the implants are treated with and accumulate cells to promote bone healing across the joint to further promote bone healing across the joint. This procedure is performed through a small incision and only lasting in duration normally 30-45 minutes; because this is a minimally invasive procedure, recovery time is quicker than traditional surgery.
