Houston Pain Treatment Services & Pain Management

We specialize in minimally invasive, effective outpatient procedures.
Our general treatment policy: A treatment must be shown to be effective in controlled clinical trials AND better than other existing treatments for a particular condition AND safe to the patient to be included in our standard treatment options.

We emphasize an individualized approach to pain care, not the "one fits all" concepts (such as "laser", "non-surgical decompression", etc.). Although these therapies are also considered from time to time, we offer individualized treatments because the role of the pain generators vary greatly from person to person. We constantly research new pain treatment technologies.

Our fully equipped fluoroscopy suite is maintained on site for the patient’s convenience. Most procedures are out-patient and last only 10-20 minutes. Heart rate and rhythm, respiratory rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and EKG are monitored throughout some of the procedures. The procedures are fully discussed with the patient by Dr. Pappolla in advance, including potential outcomes, benefits, risks and alternative modalities for treatment.The patient always holds the final authority in deciding which treatment to pursue after being fully educated in the various modalities available. Ample time for discussion is always a high priority in our clinics.

For those treatments requiring injections, the ultimate care is taken to ensure extreme accuracy and safety by using Fluoroscopic guidance (x-ray image visualization). This will ensure accurate needle placement and minimize potential complications. The appropriate flow of dye is determined before any medication is injected. This method is far superior to blind injections.
