A Comprehensive Guide to Your Pain Treatment Options
Chronic pain and injury can limit daily life in significant ways, making even simple tasks feel overwhelming. Fortunately, effective relief doesn’t always require surgery. At Solutions in Pain, we offer a full range of advanced, minimally invasive treatments — including epidural steroid injections, PRP therapy, radiofrequency ablation, spinal cord stimulation, neuromodulation, and regenerative medicine — each designed to target the source of your pain rather than simply masking it. Because these therapies work with your body’s own healing processes and precision imaging guidance, they offer a proven, evidence-based option for a wide range of conditions.
At Solutions in Pain, we offer these treatments as part of a personalized, comprehensive approach to pain management. Specifically, our team evaluates each patient individually to determine which treatment — or combination of treatments — is most appropriate based on your diagnosis, medical history, and goals. Whether you are managing a chronic condition, recovering from an injury, or simply exploring your options, we encourage you to speak with our specialists to find the path that’s right for you.
Ultimately, learning more about how these therapies work, who they may benefit, and what to expect during your evaluation is the first step toward lasting relief. Below, you’ll find an overview of our most common treatment options and the conditions they’re designed to address — so you can make an informed decision about your care.

Whether you’re exploring epidural steroid injections, PRP therapy, radiofrequency ablation, spinal cord stimulation, or another advanced treatment, our specialists are ready to walk you through your options — reviewing your medical history and answering every question along the way. Reach out today to schedule an evaluation and take the next step toward relief.
Understanding Advanced Pain Treatments
Modern pain management has advanced far beyond simply masking pain with medication. At Solutions in Pain, we focus on identifying the source of your pain and providing targeted, minimally invasive treatments designed to improve function and reduce discomfort.
Rather than recommending the same procedure for every patient, Dr. David Nwokeabia carefully evaluates your condition to determine which treatment offers the greatest opportunity for lasting relief. Your personalized care plan may include image-guided injections, regenerative medicine, neuromodulation, spinal cord stimulation, radiofrequency ablation, or other advanced therapies based on your diagnosis and goals.
Our objective is to help you return to work, family activities, exercise, and the lifestyle you enjoy with less pain and greater confidence.
How We Develop Your Personalized Treatment Plan
Care begins with a comprehensive evaluation to understand the underlying cause of your pain. During your appointment, Dr. Nwokeabia reviews your medical history, imaging studies, previous treatments, and symptoms before recommending the most appropriate treatment plan.
Care may include one treatment or a combination of therapies depending on your condition.
The process typically includes:
- Comprehensive medical evaluation
- Review of imaging and prior treatments
- Accurate diagnosis of the pain source
- Personalized treatment recommendations
- Ongoing follow-up and adjustments as needed
The goal is to provide effective relief using the least invasive treatment appropriate for your condition.

How do I know which pain treatment is right for me?
You’ll begin with a comprehensive evaluation with Dr. David Nwokeabia. After reviewing your symptoms, medical history, imaging studies, and previous treatments, he will recommend a personalized treatment plan designed to address the source of your pain and help you achieve lasting relief.
Do I need a referral to schedule an appointment?
In most cases, patients can schedule directly with our office, although some insurance plans may require a referral from your primary care physician. Additionally, our staff is happy to verify your insurance benefits and explain any referral requirements before your visit.
What types of pain do you treat?
What treatments do you offer?
Will my insurance cover treatment?

How Does Spinal Cord Stimulation Work?
Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) is an advanced therapy designed for patients living with chronic pain that has not responded to more conservative treatments. A small implanted device delivers mild electrical impulses that help interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain, providing relief for many patients with chronic back pain, leg pain, or nerve pain.
Dr. David Nwokeabia will determine whether spinal cord stimulation may be appropriate after a comprehensive evaluation.
How Does Regenerative Medicine Help With Pain?
Regenerative Medicine focuses on supporting the body’s natural ability to repair damaged tissue and reduce pain. Treatments such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy may be recommended to promote healing and improve function without surgery for appropriate candidates.
These innovative treatments are personalized to each patient’s condition and are often incorporated into a comprehensive pain management plan.
Could Neuromodulation Be Right for Me?
Neuromodulation is an advanced pain management approach that changes how pain signals are transmitted through the nervous system. Treatments such as Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) and Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) Stimulation may provide lasting relief for patients with certain chronic pain conditions when other treatments have not been successful.
Dr. Nwokeabia will discuss whether neuromodulation may be an appropriate option based on your diagnosis and previous treatment history.
How long do pain management treatments last?
The duration of pain relief varies depending on the procedure and the underlying condition being treated. Some injections provide relief for several weeks or months, while treatments such as radiofrequency ablation and spinal cord stimulation may provide longer-lasting results. Your treatment plan will be customized to your specific diagnosis.

Why choose Solutions in Pain?
Can I receive more than one type of pain treatment?
Yes. Many patients benefit from a personalized treatment plan that combines multiple therapies to achieve the best possible results. Depending on your diagnosis, Dr. David Nwokeabia may recommend a combination of treatments such as Epidural Steroid Injections, Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA), Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy, Neuromodulation, or Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) as part of your comprehensive pain management plan.
Recommendations are based on your specific condition, medical history, treatment goals, and response to previous therapies. Our objective is to develop the most effective plan to reduce pain, improve function, and help you return to the activities you enjoy.

What to Expect From Your Pain Management Journey
Each patient’s path to pain relief is unique. While some treatments provide relief within days, others may take several weeks as your body heals and responds to treatment.

Our team is committed to helping you understand each step of the process so you can make informed decisions about your care and feel confident in your personalized treatment plan.
At Solutions in Pain, we believe every treatment recommendation should be supported by clinical evidence and tailored to the individual patient.

Evidence-Based Treatments Backed by Medical Research
PRP therapy has been studied across a range of orthopedic and pain management applications, with researchers continuing to evaluate its role in clinical practice. While results vary by patient and condition, the current body of evidence suggests several areas where PRP may be a reasonable option to discuss with a specialist:
- Osteoarthritis: Studies on knee osteoarthritis have reported that some patients experience reduced pain and improved joint function following PRP, particularly when compared to certain alternative injection therapies.
- Tendon Injuries: Research on conditions such as tennis elbow has shown improvement in pain and function for some patients receiving PRP, with several studies suggesting longer-term benefit compared to corticosteroid injections.
- Soft Tissue Healing: A growing body of clinical research continues to evaluate PRP’s potential role in supporting the body’s repair process for certain soft tissue injuries.
It is important to note that study results vary, and not all research reaches the same conclusion. A 2024 systematic review published in Military Medicine summarizing the current evidence on PRP for knee osteoarthritis is one example of the ongoing research in this area. As with any medical treatment, individual outcomes depend on your specific diagnosis, overall health, and treatment plan. During your consultation, our specialists will review the most current evidence relevant to your situation and discuss whether PRP is an appropriate option for you.

- Temporary bruising or swelling
- Temporary numbness following certain injections
