Fisher-Titus Pain Management Center

NORWALK — The Fisher-Titus Pain Management Center recently added three new state-of-the-art procedures: mild, StimWave and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatment. Mild is an outpatient procedure that can help patients diagnosed with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) to experience less pain and increased mobility. The physician uses an imaging machine and specialized tools to remove small pieces of bone and excess ligament tissue through a small incision in the patient's back. Removing these elements restores space in the spinal canal and decreases the compression of the nerves. StimWave is an outpatient procedure that uses stimulation to reprogram a patient's nerve cells to replace the painful signals to the brain. After identifying a patient's areas of pain, the physician will use a needle to place one or more stimulation devices, positioned to stimulate the targeted pain areas, near the nerve site causing the pain. PRP treatment, is a form of regenerative medicine that can improve the body's ability to heal itself by amplifying the natural growth factors your body uses to heal tissue. PRP uses injections of a concentration of a patient's own platelets to accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints. In this way PRP injections use each individual patient's own healing system to improve musculoskeletal problems. The Fisher-Titus Pain Management Center treats a wide variety of issues including, but not limited to, neck pain (including work-related injuries) and pinched nerves, back pain (including work-related injuries) and sciatica, persistent pain after back or neck surgery, headaches, arthritis pain in neck or lower back, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy or RSD, nerve damage or muscle spasm pain, muscle and soft tissue pain and shingles pain. In addition to these three new, innovative procedures, the Pain Management Center also provides spinal diagnostic procedures, epidural steroid injection, facet joint injection, radiofrequency treatment, spinal cord stimulation (SCS), Botox injection, selective nerve root block, celiac plexus block, stellate ganglion block, lumbar sympathetic block, trigger point injection and joint injection.
