Non-Surgical Treatments

Start With the Least-Invasive Options

Most patients improve without surgery. Our team takes a conservative-first approach with treatments designed to reduce pain, improve strength, and prevent future flare-ups.

Non-Surgical Pain Management Treatments

  • Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Our licensed physical therapists develop targeted exercise programs to strengthen affected muscles and improve nerve function. Many patients experience significant improvement in muscle strength and reduced pain within weeks.
    • Neuromuscular re-education exercises
    • Progressive strengthening protocols
  • Targeted Injection Therapy Based on EMG findings, our specialists may recommend precise injections to reduce inflammation and provide pain relief. These minimally invasive treatments can offer months of symptom improvement.
    • Epidural steroid injections for radiculopathy
    • Trigger point injections for muscle disorders
  • Nerve Block Procedures For specific nerve conditions identified through EMG, targeted nerve blocks can interrupt pain signals and allow for healing. These procedures are performed with imaging guidance for maximum precision.
    • Peripheral nerve blocks
    • Sympathetic nerve blocks
  • Medication Management Our pain management specialists prescribe evidence-based medications tailored to your specific nerve or muscle condition. Treatment may include neuropathic pain medications, muscle relaxants, or anti-inflammatory drugs.
    • Neuropathic pain medications
    • Muscle relaxant therapy
  • Regenerative Medicine For certain muscle and nerve conditions, regenerative treatments may promote healing and reduce inflammation. These innovative therapies can complement traditional pain management approaches.
    • Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy
    • Stem cell treatments

Studies show that 80% of patients with nerve-related pain experience significant improvement within 8-12 weeks of starting their personalized non-surgical treatment plan.

Surgical Options

If Surgery is Right for You

Procedures are determined after evaluation—this list is for education only.

Surgical Pain Management Procedures

  • Nerve Decompression Surgery When EMG identifies nerve compression as the cause of your symptoms, our fellowship-trained spine surgeons can perform minimally invasive procedures to relieve pressure on affected nerves. These outpatient procedures often provide immediate symptom relief.
  • Spinal Fusion for Radiculopathy For severe nerve root compression identified through EMG testing, spinal fusion may be necessary to stabilize the spine and eliminate nerve irritation. Our surgeons use advanced minimally invasive techniques when possible.
  • Peripheral Nerve Repair When EMG reveals peripheral nerve damage, surgical repair or reconstruction may restore function. Our specialists work closely with hand and orthopedic surgeons to provide comprehensive nerve repair services.
Star
Over 90% of patients who undergo nerve decompression surgery based on EMG findings experience significant pain relief within 6 weeks of their procedure.

What Patients Say

VM
I love this doctor office and the staff is so very nice
TJ
Dr.Kassa is very pleasant, genuinely shows care & concern. He asks questions, answer questions & listens with intent. The Medical Assistants are friendly & professional as well as the office staff.
SM
I had never seen a Pain Management Doctor. I saw Dr Kassa because that’s who my spine doctor recommended. Dr Kassa is down to earth, and I didn’t feel any pressure from him to have a procedure done. I’ve tried PT and medication. Which hasn’t helped. He suggested injections which were my next option. My spine doctor said the same thing. He explained the procedure. He even said if he doesn’t feel comfortable and can’t locate the right spots for the injections he will not continue. That is being honest and he’s looking out for my best interest. Not all doctors would do that. I had questions and he politely answered all of them. Never rushed me. He told me his surgical schedule will contact me either that day or the following to get this scheduled. I saw him on Tuesday. It’s now Friday and haven’t heard from Michelle the surgical schedule. Who’s dropping the bomb on this? I’m not happy not hearing from her and getting my procedure scheduled. I will be sedated so I need to have a drive. This puts me in a predicament without much notice. I was hoping to have this scheduled this week so I could take care of what I need to do and not feel rushed. I know everyone is busy with their jobs and maybe she didn’t get my paperwork. I hope I get a call from someone today (1/30/27). *You will not be disappointed with Dr Kassa!
SL

KR
Such a wonderful dr and wonderful place
LM
I saw Dr. Kassa on Thurs Jan 8th for help on my destroyed neck due to crashing head first into the back of a surf pool. I've lived with this for 15 yrs. Listen my friends, Dr. Kassa took his time discussing my injury. He offered two choices for me. Surgery or injections. I chose the injections for the time being. If the injections don't work we'll do the surgery. This Dr is spot on. I truly respect this man and would choose no other but him to work on my neck! If at all possible plz choose Dr Kassa for any neck procedure. Love this Dr. He's respectful, listens to his patient and seems to be extremely knowledgeable. Nothing but respect for him!
