Step 2
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.
Neck pain with arm symptoms is examined for nerve root involvement; facet-related neck pain is confirmed with diagnostic medial branch blocks.

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.
Epidural Steroid InjectionsEpidural steroid injections are image-guided procedures used to place anti-inflammatory medication near irritated spinal nerves.
Selective Nerve Root BlocksA selective nerve root block targets a specific spinal nerve as it exits the spine.
Facet Joint & Medial Branch BlocksFacet joints are small joints at the back of the spine that help guide movement.
Radiofrequency Ablation of the SpineRadiofrequency ablation (RFA) uses controlled thermal energy to interrupt pain signals carried by selected sensory nerves.
Trigger Point & Myofascial InjectionsTrigger points are focal areas of tight, painful muscle that can produce local discomfort or referred pain.
Occipital Nerve Blocks & Radiofrequency ProceduresThe greater and lesser occipital nerves provide sensation to much of the back and top of the scalp.
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.
Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS)Peripheral nerve stimulation delivers electrical stimulation directly to a selected peripheral nerve or nerve region.
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.
Botox for Chronic MigraineBotox is an established preventive treatment for appropriately selected adults with chronic migraine.
Trigeminal Nerve & Branch BlocksThe trigeminal nerve provides sensation to much of the face and can be involved in trigeminal neuralgia and other craniofacial pain syndromes.
Trigeminal Radiofrequency ProceduresFor selected patients with refractory trigeminal or facial pain, radiofrequency techniques may be considered to alter pain transmission through a targeted trigeminal nerve structure or branch.
Sphenopalatine Ganglion Blocks & Ablative ProceduresThe sphenopalatine ganglion is a collection of nerve cells deep within the face that participates in autonomic and pain pathways associated with certain headache and facial pain disorders.
Headache & Craniofacial NeuromodulationNeuromodulation can sometimes be used for severe, persistent headache or facial pain that has not responded to conventional treatment.
Pain Psychology, Behavioral Strategies & Mind-Body CareChronic pain affects more than the painful body part.
Sleep & Recovery OptimizationRestorative sleep is essential for physical recovery, concentration, mood, and pain regulation.Request an Evaluation
