About Dr. Waqas Mehdi’s Neuropain Management:
Dr. Waqas Mehdi specializes in advanced Neuropain Management techniques, addressing complex neurospinal pains such as sciatica, trigeminal neuralgia, and migraines. His treatments utilize Fluoroscopic Guided targeted injections with both short-acting and long-acting drugs. A key component is a safe steroid that reduces inflammation without systemic side effects.
Innovative Treatments Offered:
- Radiofrequency Ablation for Trigeminal Neuralgia: Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a cutting-edge procedure Dr. Mehdi employs specifically for trigeminal neuralgia. It involves inserting a small electrode near the affected nerve and using radiofrequency waves to target and eliminate the pain-transmitting nerve fibers. This treatment is especially beneficial for patients who have not found relief with medications or other treatments.
- Transforaminal and Epidural Injections for Sciatica:Transforaminal Injection (TFI) targets pain related to spinal nerve compression. This involves injecting a steroid medication into the neural foramen, the small opening where the spinal nerve exits the spinal canal. This helps reduce inflammation and swelling around the affected nerve root, providing relief from pain and related symptoms.
- SI joint injections for Sacroiliitis:Sacroiliac joint injections / epidural injections are offered as a treatment option for conditions causing pain and inflammation in spinal nerves and surrounding tissues. These injections are effective for conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease. Epidural injections work by reducing inflammation and swelling around the affected nerves, thereby offering pain relief.
- Botox and Occipital neuralgia injections:Botox injections and occipital nerve blocks to treat occipital neuralgia, a painful condition causing headaches at the back of the head and neck. Botox injections relax muscles to reduce pain frequency, while occipital nerve blocks use anesthetic and steroids to alleviate pain and inflammation directly at the nerve site. Both treatments are minimally invasive, providing effective relief from occipital neuralgia and improving patients’ quality of life as part of Dr. Mehdi’s neuropain management approach.
- Trigger point and Coccydynia injections:Trigger point injections and coccydynia injections are offered as part of Dr. Waqas Mehdi’s neuro pain management services. Trigger point injections target specific painful areas in muscles to relieve tension and pain. Coccydynia injections focus on alleviating pain related to the coccyx or tailbone. Both treatments provide targeted relief for localized pain, offering patients effective solutions to manage neuropain and improve their comfort and mobility.
