Kyphoplasty?! What's that?

Kyphoplasty and/or Vertebroplasty are procedures sometimes done for patients with lower thoracic and lumbar vertebral compression fractures, while other procedures like spinal fusion focus on stabilizing the spine. This requires careful placement of one or two needles in the vertebral body. With a kyphoplasty, a cavity is first created within the vertebral body with the additional step of creating space for the treatment with a balloon-like device. Slowly, an injection of a special cement containing dye is done while looking at an x-ray machine. Kyphoplasty can restore a damaged vertebras' height and may also relieve pain. It can help relieve pain and improve mobility without the need for extensive surgery. However, typically vertebral compression fractures do heal over time and can be treated with pain medications, bracing and/or facet/epidural steroid injections.

Did you know that Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an innovative treatment option for shoulder pain? PRP therapy involves using your body's own platelets to promote healing in injured tissues, reducing pain and improving function.
During the procedure, blood is drawn from your arm and processed to concentrate the platelets. These platelets are then injected into the affected area, stimulating the body's natural healing response.
Unlike surgery or medication, PRP therapy is a minimally invasive and non-surgical option, with minimal downtime and side effects. It has shown promising results in treating conditions such as rotator cuff tears, tendinitis, and arthritis.
If you're suffering from shoulder pain and looking for an effective alternative to traditional treatments, consider PRP therapy. Consult with a qualified healthcare professional to determine if PRP therapy is right for you. Don't let shoulder pain hold you back - take control of your health today!

Athletes commonly have injuries to tendons and ligaments. They don't have as good of a blood supply as other soft tissues in the body, and thus heal very slowly or sometimes the healing process will even stall due to scar tissue. PRP utilizes your body's own blood platelets to release an abundance of growth factors to helps speed up the healing.

Occipital headaches cause intense pain that begins at the bottom of your head and spreads to the scalp. When your pain doesn’t improve with conservative medical care, it’s time to consider occipital headache treatments.
Some treatments are:
• Steroid injections
• Radiofrequency ablation (RFA)
• Peripheral nerve stimulation(PNS)

A trigger point injection can help soothe myofascial pain, especially in your neck, shoulder, arms, legs and lower back. Trigger points are the painful “knots” in your muscles that can be very sensitive to touch/pressure. They may form after acute trauma or by repetitive micro-trauma, leading to stress on muscle fibers. If this sounds like something that has been impacting your day-to-day activities, give us a call and get a consultation scheduled. 😊

Thank you for all you do here Brooklynn! ❤️

When administering PRP, it is important to use ultrasound guidance. At Pain Care Boise, we are highly skilled at the use of ultrasound imaging. This allows us to see and DIAGNOSE the exact injury site. Also with ultrasound, we are able to precisely place the PRP at the correct injury site. Typically 1-4 injections are done 4-6 weeks apart. Call our office today to get scheduled a consultation!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
We are so thankful to have our awesome team. Our patients are better every day for the care and expertise you give them. Here at Pain Care Boise, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🎄♥️
