Pain Management

Pain is a complex process and Neurosciences approach pain management from different angles. At the originating site (joint, spine, muscle, tendon) pain receptors send signals through the nerves towards the brain. Specialized centers in different areas of the brain interpret those signals as as painful. The originating organ or body part sends these signals as result of injuries, age-related degenerations or chronic disease processes like osteo-arthritis.

Pain management, to be effective, and especially for the long run, must address the entire loop, starting at the origin site but also at the nerves that bring signals from the injured joint or organ to the brain and the nerves that bring sensations down to the end organs or parts of the body.

At Neuro Center Miami we specialize in managing the pain in all those areas, starting with procedures at the originating site with steroid or biologicals injections to joints (shoulder, knee, elbows etc), nerve blocks and ablations. Our Medical Director, Adonis Maiquez, MD, trained as a neurosurgeon, is a member of the American Academy of Pain Management and the World Institute of Pain.

• Joint and Spine steroid/biologicals injections
• Nerve and Plexus blocks
• Radiofrequency Ablations

By using this comprehensive approach, we have been able to help hundreds of patients with pain after injuries in car accidents, sport accidents, slip and falls and also people suffering from chronic conditions like osteoarthritis, meniscus degeneration, inflammatory arthritis and others.
