Experiencing Back Pain?
Back pain, and especially low back pain, may be due to injury of a muscle (strain), ligament (sprain) or from an inflamed nerve.
Common causes are:
- Improper Injuries relating to weight training, lifting or sports/gym-related injury
- Arthritis
- Ruptured or herniated disc
- History of car accident post-surgery excess scar tissue
- Fracture
- Bad/poor posture
- Lack of regular exercise/sedentary lifestyle
- Nerve root compression
Some low back pain is transient and goes away on its own in two to four weeks. Physical therapy, massage, cortisone injections or NSAID pain relievers may help acutely. However more chronic or severe cases may be ineffective and non-responsive to conventional treatments and require more targeted, functional, and individualized approaches. This is where we can help with your back pain with an alternative diagnostic imaging using high resolution ultrasound with precision delivered injections.

Ultrasound-guided Nerve/Myofascial Plane Hydrodissection
We’ve brought ultrasound-guided nerve hydrodissection to the San Francisco area! Nerve hydrodissection is a safe method of relieving nerve entrapment by injecting regenerative substances around a nerve. This procedure can only be done safely under ultrasound visualization in order to pin-point choke point areas and also to avoid damage to surrounding structures, i.e. blood/lymphatic vessels or going into nerve fibers themselves. The injected fluid is meant to create a “halo” around the nerve to cushion it. This creation of space via injected fluid relieves the pressure off the nerve from the surrounding muscles and separates the nerve from restrictive adhesions or “webs” made by tissue, fascia (connective tissue lining of muscles), post-surgical scar tissue or adjacent structures like bony spurs, etc. Such adhesions restrict the nerve’s mobility and function thereby causing irritation, enlargement and chronic pain over time.
People usually seek out this treatment after having exhausted standards of care with respect to pain management, including acupuncture, physiotherapy and/or surgical interventions.
Do You Qualify For This Treatment?
- Are you suffering from chronic back pain that you haven’t found relief from?
- Have you been told that surgery is your only hope?
- Do you live near San Francisco, or are you willing to travel for this incredibly effective procedure?
- Are you willing to invest in this powerful technology to improve your daily quality of life?
- Do you want to investigate how this safe technology can benefit you to avoid more costly/high-risk procedures in the future?
- The starting cost for this procedure is $1,500 – which includes the diagnosis and treatment strategy. Is that feasible for you?

Benefits:
The resolution obtained from ultrasound has significant advantages over magnetic resonance (MRI) or X-ray imaging in the evaluation of peripheral nerves, including but not limited to:
- Superior or equal specificity and enhanced soft-tissue resolution and specificity vs. MRI
- Ability to see myofascial adhesions, soft tissue abnormalities and joint architecture
- Cost-effective over more expensive imaging approaches of CT or MRI
Real-time and dynamic imaging (MRI and CT are static and cannot accentuate many pathologies) - Defects and impingements can be seen during physical exam/motion palpation
- Clinically abnormal findings may be immediately compared with the contralateral side
- Targeted injections often have no long-lasting side effects or residual scarring of tissue
- Avoid invasive procedures/surgery
The potential for nerve hydrodissections to get you out of pain cannot be understated. Quality of life is often dramatically and immediately improved as well as avoiding the high costs to more invasive interventions or surgeries which generally have higher risks and complications.
Other Conditions Treated:
- Chronic / non-responsive shoulder, joint or musculoskeletal pain
- Chronic post-surgical pain
- Nerve impingements due to anatomical defects, trauma or surgery
- Thoracic outlet syndrome
- Non-responsive carpal/tarsal tunnel syndromes
- Cancer pain management
