Conditions we treat
The condition pages that cover pain in this area.
Step 3
How we evaluate
Your visit starts with a comprehensive evaluation: your history, a focused musculoskeletal and neurologic examination, and a review of any imaging or diagnostic studies you already have. When it helps to pinpoint the source of pain, we use diagnostic nerve blocks or ultrasound-guided assessment before recommending treatment.
Foot and ankle pain is evaluated for plantar fasciitis, neuroma, tarsal tunnel, neuropathy and joint causes under ultrasound guidance.

Treatment options
Treatments linked from those condition pages, from conservative care to advanced procedures.
Physical Therapy, Rehabilitation & Functional RestorationPhysical therapy and rehabilitation help patients improve movement, strength, flexibility, endurance, balance, and confidence with activity.
Joint InjectionsImage-guided joint injections can be used to treat pain arising from joints such as the shoulder, hip, knee, ankle, or other articulations.
Bursa, Tendon & Soft-Tissue InjectionsPain can arise from bursae, tendons, tendon sheaths, ligaments, entheses, and other soft tissues around a joint.
Trigger Point & Myofascial InjectionsTrigger points are focal areas of tight, painful muscle that can produce local discomfort or referred pain.
Regenerative Medicine & Orthobiologics (PRP, BMAC & Fat Aspirate)Orthobiologic treatments use autologous materials obtained from the patient with the goal of supporting the body’s biologic healing environment. BMAC & fat aspirate: Coming Soon
Large-Joint Sensory Nerve Blocks & Radiofrequency AblationSome chronic shoulder, hip, and knee pain is carried by sensory nerves around the joint.
Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS)Peripheral nerve stimulation delivers electrical stimulation directly to a selected peripheral nerve or nerve region.
Functional, Mobility & Wellness AssessmentA wellness and functional assessment looks beyond a single painful diagnosis to evaluate how a person moves, functions, recovers, and maintains independence.
Weight & Metabolic Health OptimizationBody weight and metabolic health can influence joint loading, inflammation, energy, sleep, cardiovascular health, and the ability to exercise comfortably.
Ultrasound-Guided Peripheral Nerve BlocksPeripheral nerve blocks place medication around a specific nerve outside the spine.
Neuralace Axon TherapyNeuralace Axon Therapy is a minimally invasive neuromodulation treatment designed for patients with certain forms of chronic neuropathic and peripheral nerve pain.
Work Injury Evaluation, Rehabilitation & Return-to-Work PlanningWork-related injuries often involve several overlapping issues: identifying the injured structure, controlling pain, restoring function, documenting progress, and determining safe work capacity.
Chiropractic CareAt APICO Pain and Wellness, Dr. Rany Abdallah offers comprehensive Chiropractic Care as part of an integrated approach to managing musculoskeletal pain.
Selective Nerve Root BlocksA selective nerve root block targets a specific spinal nerve as it exits the spine.
Sympathetic Nerve BlocksThe sympathetic nervous system helps regulate blood flow, sweating, temperature, and other automatic functions.
Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS)Spinal cord stimulation is an implantable neuromodulation therapy used for selected chronic pain conditions, particularly persistent neuropathic pain that has not responded adequately to more conservative treatment.
Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) StimulationDRG stimulation is a targeted form of neuromodulation that delivers electrical stimulation near the dorsal root ganglion, an important structure involved in sensory signaling.
Ketamine & Advanced Pain Infusion TherapyInfusion therapy may be considered for selected refractory pain conditions, particularly when neuropathic pain or complex pain has not responded adequately to standard approaches.
Epidural Steroid InjectionsEpidural steroid injections are image-guided procedures used to place anti-inflammatory medication near irritated spinal nerves.
Pelvic & Groin Peripheral Nerve BlocksNerves such as the ilioinguinal, iliohypogastric, genitofemoral, and pudendal nerves can become irritated or injured after surgery, hernia repair, trauma, entrapment, or other pelvic conditions.
Cancer & Treatment-Related Pain ProceduresCancer pain may arise from tumor involvement, bone disease, nerve compression, surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, or treatment-related nerve injury.Request an Evaluation
