Advanced Pain Medicine is committed to providing answers and real solutions for your pain. We begin with a thorough exam and medical history, which allows Dr. LoDico to focus on the best procedures and utilize those associates who have the proper specialization for your treatment.
Our mission is to provide a pain management program that is individualized to each patient to include an increased understanding of their pain process, while rendering treatment that is both of the utmost quality and delivered with dignity and respect, thus improving quality of life.
Our historical success in advanced pain management has proven the benefits of our approach to the treatment of pain for our patients.
Once your exam and history is completed, the physician and clinical staff at Advanced Pain Medicine will develop a plan that will best treat your specific needs. The treatment plan will generally begin with a series of epidural steroid injections. Then according to the degree of your pain relief, we may proceed with nerve blocks and diagnostic procedures in order to identify the point of origin of your pain. A regimen of pain medication may be included in the treatment plan, which is tailor-made to meet your needs.
We also monitor your body's reaction throughout the course of treatment, which is vital to the diagnosis of the cause of pain. So it is important that you adhere to the plan, even if you feel the procedures are not helping. Each individual responds in a unique way and your treatment plan can be adjusted as treatment updates and re-evaulations progress.
Common procedures at Advanced Pain Medicine include Epidural Steroid Injections, Facet Nerve Blocks, Discograms, Rhizotomy, Percutaneous Discectomy/IDET, and placement of Spinal Cord Stimulators and Intrathecal Morphine Pumps.
