Sometimes it takes a combination of therapies to stop or reduce severe, persistent pain and keep it under control. For patients who need to see different medical specialists or therapists for their pain, Back & Neck Pain serves as a central point of contact and coordination.

Lauren Williams, PA-C is a certified Physician Assistant now seeing patients in our FirstHealth Asheboro location. 

Depending on the cause and severity of a patient’s pain, our board certified physicians can provide treatment including:

• Steroid injections.
• Pain medication injections to muscles, joints and “trigger points,” which are small knots that develop in muscles when they are injured or overused.
• Selective nerve root blocks.
• Prescription medications.
• Neurostimulation – mild electrical impulses to the spinal cord that block the transmission of pain signals.
• Radiofrequency interruption of nerve connections in joints between the vertebrae in the spine.
• Electrothermal therapy, which uses heat to destroy pain receptors in the nerves of spinal discs.
