Procedure Spotlight 💡 #Spinalcordstimulator technology is rapidly advancing and becoming the treatment of choice for chronic pain patients. Not only is it one of the few devices where patients can test the stimulator in a non-surgical trial period, but the permanent implant is also a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure. For these reasons, we advocate for stimulators at our clinic, and they are becoming an increasingly hot topic of interest with our patients. Seen here, Dr. Gus Lowry performs this minimally invasive procedure with full confidence in its efficacy. We hope to bring awareness to this technology that is changing the landscape of chronic #painmanagement. Some options and treatments can give you the relief you deserve, and if you’re the right fit, a spinal stimulator could help you return to a life free of pain. What questions do you have about #chronicpain? We are here to help! Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. Compassionate providers you can trust. Advanced Pain Care, #ThePainStopsHere.

Neuropathic pain is one of the most challenging complications faced by individuals with spinal cord injuries. In rehabilitation settings, a pivotal question often arises among physicians, therapists, and patients: Does exercise help alleviate this type of pain? There's no simple answer, but we've compiled extensive evidence and analyzed data to shed light on this crucial issue. I invite you to read our recent publication, "The Role of Exercise in the Alleviation of Neuropathic Pain Following Traumatic Spinal Cord Injuries: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis." Your insights and feedback would be highly appreciated. Access the full text here: https://lnkd.in/gdFNVcTg #SpinalCordInjury #NeuropathicPain #Rehabilitation #ExerciseTherapy

This week, we're spotlighting one of our clinic's procedures and its effectiveness across different accident treatments be it automotive, sports-related, and more. Ready to discover how our services can make a difference for you? Cervical Epidural Steroid Injections (CESI) are a specialized treatment aimed at relieving pain and inflammation in the neck caused by conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or nerve compression. This minimally invasive procedure involves injecting a steroid medication directly into the epidural space of the cervical spine under fluoroscopic guidance, ensuring precise delivery to the affected area. CESI can significantly reduce pain by targeting inflammation around the spinal nerves, thereby improving mobility and enhancing overall quality of life for patients. It is often recommended when conservative treatments such as physical therapy or medications fail to provide sufficient relief. Patients undergoing CESI typically experience minimal discomfort during the procedure and may notice gradual pain relief over the following days to weeks. The effects of CESI can vary among individuals, but many report sustained improvement in symptoms, including reduced neck pain, tingling, and weakness in the arms. But always always remember! That consulting with a healthcare provider is essential to determine if CESI is suitable based on individual health conditions and symptoms.

In this week’s #PainWarriorWednesday, Mansoor M. Aman, M.D. — of Aurora Health Care, in Oshkosh, Wisconsin—shares how StimRouter® helps him treat patients with chronic pain, especially complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS): “Prior to utilizing any neuromodulation therapy, I will ensure my patients have tried conservative medical management, including physical therapy, medications, pain psychology, and possibly injections. For those that fail to improve with these treatments, StimRouter has been very impactful in patients with focal pain. I routinely see sustained long-term benefit and high patient satisfaction for most patients [who use StimRouter].” #StimRouter #Neuromodulation #ChronicPain –– Individual results may vary. Contact your physician to see if StimRouter is right for you. StimRouter is indicated for chronic peripheral nerve pain in adults. It is not intended to treat pain in the craniofacial region.

A 5 years old Hyperopic patient case study: Unaided vision: OD: 6/9, OS: 6/18 Cycloplegic Correction: OD: 2.50D = 6/6p, OS: 4.50D = 6/9 There are two options: i. First, since the vision is improving in both eyes, to give a full prescription. ii. Second, since there is hardly any difference with correction in OD, it can be left alone and only the difference in refraction of the two eyes can be given in OS. This concept stems from the rule that both eyes accommodate equally. To see clearly OD accommodates by 2.5D and simultaneously OS also accommodates by 2.5D. The rest 2.0D remaining in OS to view 6/9 line. Without refractive error there are no ocular health issue. Now which one do you prefer for prescription & why?
