A lot of back pain in Ponte Vedra Beach is tied to something specific: a golf swing, a tennis serve, a long drive to work. Say so at the first visit. It decides what the plan is aiming at, and whether you can keep playing while it is treated.
This page covers the practical side of coming from Ponte Vedra Beach. For the medicine, see how we diagnose and treat back pain.
How it works
How many trips it usually takes.
-
01
Visit one: about an hour
History, examination, and your MRI or X-ray read with you on the screen. Bring the images if you have them, not only the report. This visit is for diagnosis; an injection the same day is the exception.
-
02
A diagnostic block, if two sources are still possible
A few minutes under image guidance. The numbing lasts hours by design, and whether your pain switches off in that window tells us if that joint or nerve is the source.
-
03
The procedure
An epidural injection or radiofrequency ablation, done in this office. Most take minutes and you go home the same day. Your insurer may need to approve ablation first; we handle that submission.
-
04
Follow-up
A short visit to judge the result and decide whether anything further is needed.
