This information helps spine surgeon determine which specific areas of the spine may be contributing to the pain. Diagnostic imaging techniques such as X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or computed tomography (CT) scans may be used to visualize the structures of the spine and identify any abnormalities.<\/p>\n<p>Once the potential pain generators are identified, personalized spine pain mapping may involve the use of diagnostic injections or nerve blocks to correlate the surgeon\u2019s findings on image studies and patient described symptoms. These injections typically contain a local anesthetic and sometimes a corticosteroid. By targeting specific nerves or structures suspected of causing pain, our spine surgeon can assess whether the injection provides temporary relief or reduction in pain. This step helps confirm or rule out the suspected pain source.<\/p>\n<p>Often called diagnostic pain management, PPM defines the problem by identifying the pain generator through the following approach:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"uk-list\">\n<li class=\"el-item\">\n<div class=\"uk-child-width-expand@s uk-grid-small uk-grid\">\n<div class=\"uk-width-small@s uk-text-break uk-first-column\">\n<div class=\"el-title uk-margin-remove uk-text-bold\">Investigate: Listening carefully to the patient\u2019s pain story, review all image studies and medical records, and past treatments<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"el-item\">\n<div class=\"uk-child-width-expand@s uk-grid-small uk-grid\">\n<div class=\"uk-width-small@s uk-text-break uk-first-column\">\n<div class=\"el-title uk-margin-remove uk-text-bold\">Examination: Perform a thorough physical examination<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"el-item\">\n<div class=\"uk-child-width-expand@s uk-grid-small uk-grid\">\n<div class=\"uk-width-small@s uk-text-break uk-first-column\">\n<div class=\"el-title uk-margin-remove uk-text-bold\">Explanation: Throughout the process, we educate our patients on their condition and medical options<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"el-item\">\n<div class=\"uk-child-width-expand@s uk-grid-small uk-grid\">\n<div class=\"uk-width-small@s uk-text-break uk-first-column\">\n<div class=\"el-title uk-margin-remove uk-text-bold\">Discussion: Our surgeon and you are a team.

However, PPM is a comprehensive solution that diagnoses and identifies the actual pain generator that patients are experiencing. Once your pain generator is identified, our surgeons can tailor treatment options to your specific needs. We may discover a nonsurgical solution rather than you undergo unnecessary surgery that may not solve your problem.<\/p>\n<p>These treatment options may involve nonsurgical methods practiced by interventional or traditional pain management specialists because your condition is not ideal for our newly developed surgical pain management techniques. Also, nonsurgical options may include \u2013 muscle reconditioning, optimal joint mobility, and flexibility techniques.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a good candidate for surgical pain management, one of our least invasive procedures, such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/spine-treatments\/endoscopic-rhizotomy\/\">endoscopic laser or radiofrequency rhizotomy<\/a>, will provide pain relief.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n                                                        \n        \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n        \t\t\t<\/div>\n        \t\t<\/div>\n        \t<\/div>\n\n               \n        \t\n        <\/section>\n\n\n\n    <section id=\"cta-block_1071b23c12f09cf7fd80eeeeb7ca7dfa\" class=\"cta cta-bg-red js-animated-text-container\">\n        <div class=\"container\">\n            <div class=\"cta-wrapper\">\n                <div class=\"cta-overlay-wrapper\">                    \n                                                                                                        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"498\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/cta-overlay-desktop.jpg\" class=\"object-fit hidden-md-down\" alt=\"Dr Abrams explaining spine x-ray\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/cta-overlay-desktop.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/cta-overlay-desktop-300x78.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/cta-overlay-desktop-1024x266.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/cta-overlay-desktop-768x199.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/cta-overlay-desktop-1536x398.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>                            \n                                                            <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"663\" height=\"418\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/cta-overlay-tab.jpg\" class=\"object-fit hidden-xs-down hidden-lg\" alt=\"Dr. Abrams consulting\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/cta-overlay-tab.jpg 663w, https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/cta-overlay-tab-300x189.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 663px) 100vw, 663px\" \/>                            \n                                                            <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"330\" height=\"475\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/cta-overlay-mobile.jpg\" class=\"object-fit hidden-sm-up\" alt=\"Dr. Abrams laughing\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/cta-overlay-mobile.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/cta-overlay-mobile-208x300.jpg 208w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 330px) 100vw, 330px\" \/>                                                                                        <\/div>\n                <div class=\"cta-content\">\n                                            <h2>Have you experienced failed pain management or spine surgery?<\/h2>\n                                        <p>The spine surgeons at DISC look forward to helping you achieve relief after failed pain management or spine surgery.
