PAIN MEDICINE
At Push Pounds Sports Medicine our Pain Specialist provides a comprehensive pain medicine service. Our goal is to ensure you move pain free throughout life: work, home, school and play.
Our therapy options are effective and innovative, we understand that our patients are eager to return to their lives and not be restricted by their pain any longer. If you’ve been suffering from joint pain or have been experiencing inflammatory issues, we offer a range of treatment option for these conditions such as joint fluid replacement therapy (hyaluronic acid), botox, and nerve blocks.
Botox
Botox injections are not only used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkle. What most people are unaware of is that Botox injections are actually quite effective in controlling chronic pain. A pain management specialist will perform tests to locate the source of the pain, after which a botox injection is administered to the area of chronic pain and relaxing the muscles in the area.
Nerve Blocks
Nerve blocks is an injection of a substance that numbs the nerves in an area of the body, specifically the region that is causing pain. The nerves in this area can be blocked with this medication to stop the pain from worsening by spreading to other muscle groups.
The pain management specialist at Push Pounds Sports Medicine can use therapeutic nerve blocks to relieve pain. These nerve blocks involve the use of a local anesthetic to relieve acute pain symptoms.

- Peripheral nerve stimulator implants
