At Utah Injury Clinic we approach each person individually. Everyone has different needs and goals for recovery. After a car crash you can find comfort in the team of physicians at UIC.

– Epidural injections (in all areas of the spine): the use of anesthetic and steroid medications injected into the epidural space to relieve pain or diagnose a specific condition.
– Nerve, root, and medial branch blocks: injections done to determine if a specific spinal nerve root is the source of pain. Blocks also can be used to reduce inflammation and pain.
– Facet joint injections: an injection used to determine if the facet joints are the source of pain. These injections can also provide pain relief.
– Discography: an “inside” look into the discs to determine if they are the source of a patient’s pain. This procedure involves the use of a dye that is injected into a disc and then examined using x-ray or CT Scan.
– Pulsed Radiofrequency Neurotomy (PRFN): a minimally invasive procedure that disables spinal nerves and prevents them from transmitting pain signals to the brain.
– Rhizotomy: a procedure in which pain signals are “turned off” through the use of heated electrodes that are applied to specific nerves that carry pain signals to the brain.
– Spinal cord stimulation: the use of electrical impulses that are used to block pain from being perceived in the brain.
– Percutaneous Discectomy/Nucleoplasty: a procedure in which tissue is removed from the disc in order to decompress and relieve pressure.
