Lasting Pain Relief: Trigger Point & Nerve Block Injections
Direct Injections
The Texas Institute of Pain and Spine uses direct injections and nerve blocks to provide pain management for many of our patients. We offer neck, joint, facet, and piriformis injections of medications directly applied to the site of your pain for rapid, long-lasting relief. As a pain management specialist in Houston, Dr. J. Lance LaFleur is well-qualified to administer these direct injections precisely:

Nerve Blocks
For patients with chronic pain, another effective treatment option we offer is a nerve block. Using local anesthetic and steroids delivered around a nerve, nerve blocks help our doctor more accurately identify the exact source of your pain. Examples of nerve blocks we administer include:

Radiofrequency Ablation: A Minimally-Invasive Option
Another frequently-used therapeutic option we offer in our Houston clinic is radiofrequency ablation. This is a minimally-invasive procedure that intentionally destroys the nerve fibers that transmit pain signals. Our team performs radiofrequency ablation to eliminate pain from the following areas:
- Spine (Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar, Sacral)
- Hip
- Knee
- Shoulder
- Trigeminal Nerve
Advanced Pain Management Treatments
Sometimes, injections aren’t enough to treat a patient’s pain. Whether you suffer from osteoarthritis, a degenerative disc disease, muscle spasms, upper or lower back pain, spondylolisthesis, or spinal stenosis, other minimally-invasive procedures may be considered, such as:
- Vertebroplasty: Commonly used to treat compression fractures in the spine, vertebroplasty involves injecting a cement mixture into the fractured part of your spine’s vertebrae.
- Kyphoplasty: Often used in conjunction with vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty involves inserting and inflating a balloon to make ample space for the cement mixture.
- Intrathecal pumps: Intrathecal pumps are used primarily to deliver pain medications directly to your spinal cord.
- Spinal cord stimulation (SCS): Using electrical currents through an implantable device, spinal cord stimulation reduces the sensation of pain when the spinal cord is stimulated.
- Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS): Using an implantable electrode, peripheral nerve stimulation delivers electrical pulses to a peripheral nerve to stop the sensation of pain.
- Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) stimulation:Using an implantable electrode to deliver electrical pulses to a nerve root, dorsal root ganglion stimulation is used to stop the sensation of pain.
- Percutaneous discectomy: If you have a herniated disc, percutaneous discectomy is often used to remove a portion of a herniated disc’s tissue.
