Standard MRI often misses it. Intracept is an FDA-cleared, single-treatment procedure that addresses this specific, frequently overlooked source. Treats: Degenerative Disc Disease, Lower Back Pain, Vertebrogenic Pain ### Kyphoplasty A minimally invasive procedure that stabilizes a painful vertebral compression fracture with bone cement, reducing pain often within 24 to 48 hours, performed by board-certified physicians. Treats: Vertebral Compression Fractures ### Peripheral Nerve Stimulation A thin lead placed near the pain-causing nerve delivers gentle electrical signals that mask the pain before it reaches the brain, giving relief without the systemic side effects of long-term medication. PHI uses a temporary 60-day system for chronic nerve pain that hasn't responded to other treatments. Treats: Chronic Pain Syndrome, Phantom Limb Pain, Post-Surgical Nerve Pain, Post-Surgical Pain ### Sacroiliac Joint Fusion A procedure that permanently stabilizes the joint connecting the base of the spine to the pelvis, reserved for SI joint pain confirmed by diagnostic injection that hasn't responded to injections, physical therapy, or ablation. Modern fusion is minimally invasive, and most patients go home the same day. Treats: Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction ## Interventional Pain ### Epidural Steroid Injections Image-guided injections that place anti-inflammatory medication directly around an irritated spinal nerve to relieve radiating pain in the neck, mid-back, or lower back, performed by board-certified pain physicians. Treats: Degenerative Disc Disease, Herniated Disc, Lower Back Pain, Neck Pain, Pinched Nerve, Sciatica, Spinal Stenosis ### Facet Joint Injections Image-guided injections that both confirm and relieve pain from the facet joints of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine, performed by board-certified pain physicians. Treats: Cervical Facet Syndrome, Cervicogenic Headaches, Lower Back Pain, Neck Pain, Whiplash ### Joint Injections Image-guided hip, knee, and shoulder injections, from corticosteroid and hyaluronic acid to regenerative options, matched to the cause of your joint pain by board-certified physicians. Treats: Hip Arthritis, Hip Pain, Knee Arthritis, Knee Pain, Shoulder Arthritis, Shoulder Pain ### Nerve Blocks Precisely targeted, image-guided injections that interrupt a specific pain pathway, used both to confirm the source of pain and to relieve it, performed by board-certified pain physicians. Treats: Cervicogenic Headaches, Chronic Headaches, Chronic Pain Syndrome, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, Herniated Disc, Knee Arthritis, Knee Pain, Migraines, Neuropathy, Phantom Limb Pain, Pinched Nerve, Post-Surgical Nerve Pain, Post-Surgical Pain, PTSD, Sciatica, Trigeminal Neuralgia ### Neurotoxins for Pain Medical Botox for pain, not cosmetic: targeted botulinum toxin injections that calm overactive muscle and nerve signaling in chronic migraine, cervicogenic headache, and TMJ disorders. Treats: Chronic Headaches, Migraines ### Radiofrequency Ablation Longer-lasting relief for confirmed facet, sacroiliac, and knee joint pain, performed under fluoroscopic guidance by board-certified pain physicians. Treats: Cervical Facet Syndrome, Cervicogenic Headaches, Chronic Pain Syndrome, Herniated Disc, Knee Arthritis, Knee Pain, Lower Back Pain, Neck Pain, Post-Surgical Nerve Pain, Post-Surgical Pain, Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction, Sciatica, Trigeminal Neuralgia ### Sacroiliac Joint Injections The SI joints carry significant load every time you stand or move, and when one becomes inflamed or irritated, the pain is frequently mistaken for general low back or hip pain, sometimes for years. These image-guided injections both confirm the joint as the source and relieve the pain. Treats: Lower Back Pain, Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction ## Regenerative Medicine ### A2M Therapy A regenerative injection that uses your own blood-derived A2M protein to neutralize the enzymes that break down joint cartilage, slowing the progression of early-to-moderate osteoarthritis. Treats: Cartilage Damage, Degenerative Disc Disease, Herniated Disc, Hip Arthritis, Hip Pain, Knee Arthritis, Knee Pain, Ligament Injuries, Lower Back Pain, Neuropathy, Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction, Sciatica, Shoulder Arthritis, Shoulder Pain, Spinal Stenosis, Tendon Injuries ### Exosome Therapy Exosomes are the newest regenerative option PHI offers, and the one surrounded by the most marketing noise. Rather than overpromise, PHI uses them where the rationale is sound, within broader protocols alongside PRP or A2M, and tells patients plainly what the developing evidence does and does not yet support. Treats: Cartilage Damage, Degenerative Disc Disease, Herniated Disc, Hip Arthritis, Hip Pain, Knee Arthritis, Knee Pain, Ligament Injuries, Lower Back Pain, Neuropathy, Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction, Sciatica, Shoulder Arthritis, Shoulder Pain, Spinal Stenosis, Tendon Injuries ### PRP Therapy A concentrate of your own platelets, injected under image guidance to deliver healing growth factors into an arthritic joint or injured tendon, performed by board-certified physicians. Treats: Cartilage Damage, Degenerative Disc Disease, Herniated Disc, Hip Arthritis, Hip Pain, Knee Arthritis, Knee Pain, Ligament Injuries, Lower Back Pain, Neuropathy, Post-Surgical Pain, Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction, Sciatica, Shoulder Arthritis, Shoulder Pain, Spinal Stenosis, Tendon Injuries, Whiplash ### Stem Cell Therapy Regenerative cell protocols, from your own bone marrow or fat to screened allogeneic sources, injected under image guidance to support repair in arthritic joints, tendons, and discs. Treats: Cartilage Damage, Degenerative Disc Disease, Hip Arthritis, Hip Pain, Knee Arthritis, Knee Pain, Ligament Injuries, Lower Back Pain, Neuropathy, Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction, Shoulder Arthritis, Shoulder Pain, Tendon Injuries ## Wellness & Longevity ### CBD Cream CBD is the non-intoxicating compound in cannabis that acts on the body's pain and inflammation pathways. Applied topically, it's absorbed locally into the tissue under the skin without entering the bloodstream in meaningful amounts. PHI uses it as adjunctive support within a broader, physician-guided pain plan. ### EMSCULPT NEO One 30-minute session drives roughly 20,000 muscle contractions, far beyond what voluntary exercise can produce, while synchronized heat reduces underlying fat. EMSCULPT NEO is the only FDA-cleared device to build muscle and reduce fat at once, used at PHI for body contouring and muscle and joint function support. Treats: Athletic Performance & Recovery, Sports Recovery & Performance, Weight Management & Body Composition ### IV Therapy Delivered straight into the bloodstream, IV nutrients bypass digestion and reach concentrations oral supplements can't. That bypass is the real advantage for patients with absorption issues, depletion, or dehydration. PHI formulates each IV to the individual after evaluation, rather than offering a fixed menu of drips. Treats: Athletic Performance & Recovery, Brain Fog & Mental Clarity, Chronic Headaches, Chronic Pain with Mood Overlap, Fatigue & Low Energy, Healthy Aging & Longevity, Immune Support, Migraines, Neuropathy, Skin Health & Aging, Sports Recovery & Performance, Stress & Burnout ### Ketamine Infusion Therapy Physician-administered ketamine infusion therapy for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain involving central sensitization. Delivered as a defined treatment series in a private clinic setting with continuous monitoring, not open-ended dosing. PHI coordinates directly with your mental health team. Each infusion typically runs 40 to 60 minutes, and the standard initial protocol is six infusions over two to three weeks. Treats: Anxiety, Chronic Pain Syndrome, Chronic Pain with Mood Overlap, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, Migraines, Phantom Limb Pain, PTSD, Stress & Burnout, Treatment-Resistant Depression ### NAD+ Therapy Physician-prescribed NAD+ therapy, a coenzyme involved in cellular energy production and DNA repair that declines with age. Used at PHI to support energy, cognitive clarity, and longevity-oriented care. The mechanistic rationale is strong and clinical evidence is accumulating; PHI is honest that benefits vary by patient. Delivered in a clinic setting, formulated to your situation rather than a fixed menu. Treats: Brain Fog & Mental Clarity, Fatigue & Low Energy, Healthy Aging & Longevity, Poor Sleep & Recovery, Stress & Burnout, Treatment-Resistant Depression ### Peptide Therapy Physician-guided peptide therapy using specific compounds that may support tissue recovery, sleep, growth hormone signaling, mitochondrial function, and inflammation.
