Are injections painful?
Most patients feel only mild pressure or a pinch. We use numbing medication and advanced imaging
guidance to ensure comfort and precision.
How soon will I feel relief?
Cortisone often provides relief within 48 hours. Epidural, facet, and joint injections may take a few days.
PRP and stem cell therapies stimulate natural healing and may take weeks to months.
How long does relief last?
It depends on the treatment: Epidural & facet injections may last weeks to months. Cortisone injections last
weeks to months. PRP/Stem Cell therapy offers longer-term improvement by stimulating tissue healing.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes, many procedures are covered by insurance. Our staff will verify your benefits and explain your
options. Regenerative treatments (PRP, stem cells) may not be covered but flexible payment plans are
available.
Do I need surgery?
Most of our patients improve with non-surgical treatments. Surgery is only considered if conservative
options fail. Our goal is to keep you active, mobile, and pain-free without unnecessary operations.
Is there downtime after injections?
Minimal to none. Most patients return to normal activity the same day. Strenuous exercise may be limited
for 24–48 hours depending on the procedure.
