Surgery isn’t your only option. At HRMC’s Pain Management Clinic, our specialists offer non-surgical pain solutions that help restore function and reduce discomfort — without long recovery times.

These include:

• Fluoroscopic-guided spinal injections
  • These are precise injections into your spine using real-time X-ray (fluoroscopy) to guide the needle. They help reduce inflammation and pain from conditions like herniated discs or spinal arthritis.
• Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
  • This treatment uses heat from radio waves to target specific nerves and stop them from sending pain signals. It’s often used for chronic back or neck pain.
• SI joint and peripheral nerve blocks
  • These injections numb specific joints or nerves—like the sacroiliac (SI) joint in the lower back or nerves in the arms or legs—to reduce pain and help diagnose the pain source.
• Trigger point injections and more
  • These are small injections into tight muscle knots (trigger points) to relieve muscle tension and pain.

Josh Dunlap, CRNA, APRN, NSPM-C, performs every procedure with accuracy and results.

 “These treatments are all highly effective tools we use to reduce pain, improve function, and avoid more invasive procedures,” said Dunlap. Each one is tailored to the patient’s specific condition, and when done correctly, they can make a real difference in quality of life.”

Whether you’re struggling with back pain, joint discomfort, or nerve-related pain, we’ll create a personalized plan to help you heal — without the OR.

Why Choose Non-Surgical Pain Management?

When it comes to treating chronic pain, surgery isn’t always the best or only option. Many conditions can be effectively managed with non-surgical, minimally invasive treatments, allowing patients to avoid extended recovery time. Depending on the condition and need, some surgical procedures require weeks or months of healing, limiting mobility and independence. This can sometimes mean time away from work, requiring days off using vacation time or unpaid leave.

At HRMC Pain Management Clinic, our specialists focus on treating the root cause of your pain using proven non-invasive techniques, so you can get back to living well — without the stress of an operating room.
