Back Pain
Back Pain
When back pain becomes chronic and unresponsive to rest, therapy, or medication, it may involve underlying nerve irritation. Our physicians offer targeted, image-guided treatments—such as nerve ablation and spinal modulation—to reduce inflammation and calm overactive nerves, especially when surgery isn’t preferred or appropriate.Chronic Pain in Hand
Chronic Pain in Hand
Persistent hand pain arises from nerves, tendons, or joints. Our specialists provide diagnostic insights and incorporate nerve decompression, tendon or joint reconstruction, and multidisciplinary care aimed at long-term relief.Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
CRPS can be physically and emotionally overwhelming—but effective treatment is possible. Our specialists combine advanced nerve blocks, neuromodulation, and targeted therapies to interrupt the pain cycle and improve function. The goal: personalized care that gives patients their lives back.Joint Injections
Joint Injections
Not all joint pain is orthopedic. When nerve inflammation is the underlying cause, Dr. Ferro uses targeted injections to treat the affected nerve pathways—reducing pain, restoring motion, and avoiding unnecessary surgery.Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression (MILD)
Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression (MILD)
For patients with lumbar spinal stenosis, the MILD® procedure offers a safe, outpatient alternative to surgery. Through a tiny incision, our specialists remove excess ligament tissue that compresses spinal nerves—helping patients stand, walk, and move with less pain and greater freedom.Pelvic Pain
Pelvic Pain
Chronic pelvic pain can affect every part of life—from walking to intimacy. Our specialists identify nerve-related causes of pelvic pain and offer nonsurgical, image-guided treatments designed to calm irritated nerves and restore comfort. For patients who've exhausted traditional therapies, this approach offers renewed hope and relief.Peripheral Nerve Blocks & Hydro Dissection
Peripheral Nerve Blocks & Hydro Dissection
For nerves that are inflamed, compressed, or entrapped, these procedures offer both relief and diagnostic clarity. Dr. Ferro uses real-time imaging to deliver precise treatments that separate and decompress irritated nerves—often reducing pain in a single visit.Peripheral Nerve Stimulation
Peripheral Nerve Stimulation
Peripheral nerve stimulation delivers targeted relief for localized nerve pain—such as in the abdomen, limbs, or pelvic region. Our specialists use ultrasound-guided techniques to place tiny electrodes near the affected nerve, calming overactivity and reducing chronic pain with minimal recovery time.Post-Mastectomy Pain Syndrome (PMPS)
Post-Mastectomy Pain Syndrome (PMPS)
Pain that lingers after breast surgery is often nerve-related—not something you have to live with. Our specialists treat PMPS with non-surgical options like nerve blocks, hydrodissection, and neuromodulation to relieve nerve pain and restore quality of life—safely, effectively, and without opioids.Spinal Cord Stimulation
Spinal Cord Stimulation
For patients living with persistent nerve pain, spinal cord stimulation offers a path forward without repeat surgery. Using a minimally invasive trial-first approach, our physicians place neuromodulation devices that interrupt pain signals at the spinal level—helping patients regain mobility and reduce medication reliance.Office Locations
