A spinal cord stimulator (SCS) trial is a temporary, minimally invasive test to see whether neurostimulation can reduce your chronic pain. During the trial:

1. Thin leads are placed near your spinal cord under local anesthesia.
2. A small external device sends gentle electrical pulses to interrupt pain signals.
3. You go home the same day and try it out for 3–7 days.
4. If you experience significant pain relief, you may opt for a permanent implant.

Our patients appreciate how empowering it feels to “test-drive” their relief before making a long-term decision.

Amniotic biologic injections can be a promising option for tendon healing because they contain natural growth factors that support tissue repair and reduce inflammation. While results vary, many patients experience improved function and decreased pain — especially when combined with physical therapy or myofascial work. Medici uses these therapies thoughtfully as part of a synergistic, whole-body approach to healing.

Yes. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive treatment that can provide long-lasting relief for facet-related neck pain.
Using targeted heat, RFA temporarily interrupts pain signals coming from irritated nerves. Many patients experience relief lasting 6–18 months, allowing them to resume activities without relying on medications.

Ultrasound guidance allows your physician to visualize the sacroiliac joint in real time. This ensures the medication is delivered precisely where inflammation or irritation is occurring. The injection typically includes a local anesthetic and an anti-inflammatory agent designed to reduce pain and restore mobility.
Patients often appreciate the accuracy, comfort, and shorter recovery time.

Yes — spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is one of the most effective and evidence-supported treatments for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).

CRPS is a challenging condition marked by severe, burning pain, swelling, and sensitivity — often following an injury or surgery. SCS helps by:

• Interrupting pain signals sent to the brain
• Improving blood flow to the affected area
• Reducing inflammation and hypersensitivity
• Restoring function and quality of life

Many of our patients at Medici Orthopaedics & Spine who suffer from CRPS experience remarkable improvements after an SCS trial — often reporting less pain, better movement, and renewed independence.

Learn more or request your evaluation at www.mediciortho.com

Yes, there are — and choosing the right one depends on the type and location of your pain.

The main types of nerve pain stimulators include:

1. Spinal Cord Stimulators (SCS) – placed near the spinal cord to block pain signals before they reach the brain.
2. Peripheral Nerve Stimulators (PNS) – target specific nerves in the arms, legs, or other areas affected by chronic pain.
3. Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) Stimulators – used for precise pain targeting, especially for conditions like CRPS.

At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, our pain management specialists perform personalized assessments to determine which stimulator will work best for your unique condition.

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a life-changing option for patients who’ve tried other treatments but still experience chronic pain — especially nerve-related pain in the back, legs, or arms.

You may qualify for a spinal cord stimulator if you have:

• Chronic pain lasting 6 months or more, even after surgery or therapy
• Failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS)
• Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
• Peripheral neuropathy or nerve damage
• Severe pain that hasn’t improved with medications or injections

The process starts with a trial period, where the device is temporarily placed to test your pain relief. If you experience significant improvement — often 50% or more — you may move forward with the permanent implant.

At our Marietta Ambulatory Surgery Center, Medici Orthopaedics & Spine offers full spinal cord stimulator evaluations and trials under expert supervision.

Call (470) 795-8398 to find out if you’re a good candidate.

Absolutely. In fact, physical therapy is one of the most effective tools for speeding up sports injury recovery — and helping athletes return stronger than before.

Here’s why:

• It reduces inflammation and restores range of motion early in the healing process.
• It prevents scar tissue buildup, which can limit future movement.
• It strengthens supporting muscles to reduce re-injury risk.
• It helps restore coordination, balance, and performance.

At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, our sports injury rehab team combines traditional physical therapy with modern techniques like myofascial release, regenerative medicine, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy — all proven to help athletes heal faster and safer.

Lower back pain is one of the most common complaints we treat — and thankfully, there are several gentle, effective exercises that can help relieve discomfort and strengthen your spine safely.

Here are a few our physical therapists often recommend:

• Pelvic tilts — strengthen your core without straining your back
• Cat-Cow stretch — improves spinal flexibility and mobility
• Bridge pose — activates glutes and supports lower back stability
• Knee-to-chest stretch — helps release tension in the lumbar region
• Gentle walking or aquatic therapy — increases blood flow and reduces stiffness

Of course, the “best” exercise depends on your specific condition — whether it’s a disc issue, arthritis, or muscle strain. At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we design custom movement programs that support healing without aggravating pain.

If your lower back pain keeps coming back, call +1-844-328-4624 or visit us in Marietta or Snellville for a tailored spine evaluation.

That’s a great question — and one we hear often. While all physical therapy aims to improve movement and function, orthopedic physical therapy (PT) is a specialized branch focused specifically on the muscles, joints, bones, tendons, and ligaments.

Here’s the difference:

• Regular PT often addresses general mobility, post-surgical rehab, or neurological recovery.
• Orthopedic PT, on the other hand, is for patients recovering from injuries, surgeries, or chronic conditions of the musculoskeletal system — like back pain, joint stiffness, rotator cuff tears, or arthritis.

At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, our orthopedic PT programs go beyond simple exercise. We combine hands-on techniques like myofascial release, joint mobilization, and posture retraining with targeted strengthening to help you move confidently again.

Yes, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can play a powerful role in reducing chronic pain, especially when inflammation and nerve damage are involved.

HBOT helps by:

• Reducing inflammation that irritates nerves and tissues
• Improving oxygen flow to painful, low-circulation areas
• Encouraging tissue regeneration and nerve repair
• Balancing the nervous system, which helps reduce pain sensitivity

For patients dealing with fibromyalgia, neuropathy, arthritis, or post-surgical pain, HBOT can be a gentle yet highly effective complement to other non-invasive treatments.

For patients with diabetes, wound healing can be a major challenge due to reduced blood flow and oxygen delivery to tissues. That’s where oxygen therapy (HBOT) comes in.

In a hyperbaric chamber, the body absorbs oxygen at levels that aren’t possible through normal breathing. This extra oxygen:

• Stimulates tissue regeneration and new blood vessel formation
• Enhances white blood cell activity to fight infection
• Improves blood circulation in areas affected by diabetes
• Helps close chronic wounds that haven’t responded to conventional treatment

At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we often see patients with diabetic ulcers or slow-healing surgical wounds experience significant improvements after a course of HBOT.

Yes — and the research continues to grow in support of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) as a promising treatment for traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) and concussions.

When the brain is injured, oxygen delivery to cells becomes compromised. HBOT helps by:

• Increasing oxygen supply to brain tissues
• Reducing inflammation and swelling
• Stimulating neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to form new neural connections
• Improving cognitive clarity, memory, and focus in some patients

While results vary from person to person, many patients with TBI, post-concussion syndrome, or stroke-related symptoms experience noticeable improvements with a supervised HBOT program.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy doesn’t just help you heal — it helps your body restore balance. One of its most powerful benefits is how effectively it reduces inflammation.

When you breathe pure oxygen under pressure, it triggers several healing processes at the cellular level:

• Decreases swelling by constricting blood vessels (without cutting off oxygen)
• Flushes out toxins and inflammatory chemicals
• Increases antioxidant activity, which protects tissues from damage
• Activates stem cells that repair inflamed or damaged areas

This makes HBOT an excellent complement for people dealing with chronic inflammation, arthritis, autoimmune conditions, or post-surgical swelling.

Yes, oxygen chamber therapy — also known as Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) — is highly effective for tissue damage and delayed healing.

When you enter a hyperbaric chamber, you breathe pure oxygen at a higher-than-normal pressure, which allows your bloodstream to carry significantly more oxygen to injured tissues. This increase in oxygen helps:

• Repair damaged cells and tissues
• Stimulate collagen and new blood vessel growth
• Reduce swelling and promote faster recovery

At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we’ve seen patients recover more efficiently from surgical wounds, soft tissue injuries, and even radiation-related tissue damage through the use of HBOT.

If you’ve had a hard time healing after an injury or surgery, oxygen chamber therapy could be the boost your body needs. Learn more or schedule an evaluation at our Marietta or Kennesaw locations: www.mediciortho.com.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is an incredible tool for helping the body heal — especially for patients with chronic wounds or injuries that won’t seem to recover.

Here’s how it works: inside the hyperbaric chamber, you breathe 100% pure oxygen at increased pressure. This dramatically increases the amount of oxygen in your bloodstream, which helps:

• Boost tissue repair and new blood vessel growth
• Fight infection by strengthening immune response
• Reduce inflammation and swelling
• Enhance recovery after surgery or injury

At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, many patients combine HBOT with regenerative or physical therapies for a synergistic healing effect.

If chronic back or leg pain has been limiting your quality of life — and other treatments haven’t worked — a spinal cord stimulator (SCS) might be the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for.

At our Marietta Ambulatory Surgery Center, our spine specialists perform comprehensive spinal cord stimulator evaluations to determine if this therapy is right for you.

An SCS delivers mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord, interrupting pain signals before they reach the brain. It’s an FDA-approved, non-opioid option for managing chronic pain conditions like:

• Post-surgical pain (failed back surgery syndrome)
• Neuropathy and nerve pain
• Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)

If you’re in or near Marietta, call (470) 795-8398 to schedule your evaluation with our team at Medici Orthopaedics & Spine.

Regenerative medicine is one of the most exciting advances in modern orthopedics — especially for arthritis.

Instead of just treating symptoms, regenerative therapies like PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) or stem cell-based injections actually work to stimulate your body’s natural healing processes. These treatments help:

• Reduce inflammation in damaged joints
• Encourage new tissue growth in cartilage and ligaments
• Improve joint function and flexibility
• Delay or even prevent the need for joint replacement surgery

In our Atlanta (Buckhead) location, patients with knee, hip, shoulder, or hand arthritis often report lasting relief and better mobility after just a few sessions.

When it comes to spine care, “non-surgical” doesn’t mean “less effective.” In fact, many of the most powerful treatments for back and neck pain today don’t require a scalpel.

At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, our spine specialists combine advanced, minimally invasive techniques to treat pain at its source. Some of Georgia’s best non-surgical spine treatments include:

• Spinal injections (such as epidural steroid or facet joint injections)
• Regenerative medicine therapies using your body’s natural healing properties
• Spinal cord stimulation for chronic nerve pain
• Physical therapy and myofascial release to improve mobility and posture
• Prolotherapy to strengthen weak ligaments and joints

If you’re ready to move beyond pain medication or avoid surgery altogether, our Marietta Ambulatory Surgery Center or Kennesaw clinic is a great place to start.

Yes — absolutely. In fact, most cases of TMJ pain can be effectively managed without surgery.

Non-surgical treatments focus on easing tension, improving joint function, and addressing underlying causes such as teeth grinding, stress, or misalignment. Patients at Medici Orthopaedics & Spine often find relief through:

• Custom oral appliances (night guards) to prevent clenching and grinding

When you visit your orthopedic doctor, it’s important to be your own advocate and ask the right questions. Here are a few key ones:

1. What’s causing my back pain?
2. Is it structural (like a disc or joint issue) or muscular/nerve-related?
3. Can I avoid surgery? What are my non-surgical options?
4. What’s the expected outcome if I do nothing?
5. Will physical therapy help me, and for how long should I try it?
6. Are injections or regenerative treatments available?
7. How can I manage pain without long-term medications?
8. What’s the long-term plan for preventing future flare-ups?

At Medici, we take the time to explain your diagnosis and treatment options. Our goal is to educate and empower you—so you can make confident, informed decisions.

In many cases, yes—physical therapy should be your first line of defense.

At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we follow a “least invasive first” approach. Physical therapy is often:

• Effective for disc issues, muscle imbalances, and nerve compression
• Lower risk and more cost-effective than surgery
• A great way to identify the source of pain through movement

However, if you're experiencing severe weakness, loss of bowel/bladder control, or progressive neurological symptoms, you may need an immediate consult with a spine specialist.

📍 We offer physical therapy and spine evaluations under one roof—so you won’t waste time bouncing between providers.

The good news is: spinal cord stimulator (SCS) surgery has a relatively short recovery time, especially compared to more invasive back surgeries.

Here’s a general timeline:

• Day of surgery: Outpatient procedure; you go home same day
• First week: Mild soreness at the incision sites; activity should be limited
• 2–3 weeks: Most patients resume light daily activities
• 6 weeks: Full recovery for most people, depending on lifestyle and job

What makes it different from major back surgery? No bone cutting, no long hospital stays, and a quicker return to function.

Our surgical team performs SCS implants at our Marietta Ambulatory Surgery Center—with expert follow-up at our Snellville and Kennesaw clinics.

If you're struggling with the burning, shooting, or radiating pain of a herniated disc, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to suffer in silence.

Great question—these terms are closely related, but not exactly the same.

• Cervical radiculopathy is a medical diagnosis referring to a pinched or irritated nerve in the neck (cervical spine). It causes pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that radiates into the shoulder, arm, or hand.
• A pinched nerve is a general term describing what’s happening: a nerve is compressed, inflamed, or irritated. Pinched nerves can occur anywhere in the body—not just the neck.

So, you can think of cervical radiculopathy as a type of pinched nerve—specifically affecting the cervical spinal nerves.

💡 If you're feeling radiating neck pain, arm weakness, or tingling, it’s time to get a proper evaluation. Early treatment like physical therapy or spinal injections can prevent the issue from worsening.

Nerve pain in the lower back—often described as burning, shooting, or electric—requires specialized care. The best treatment depends on the root cause (e.g., herniated disc, stenosis, sciatica), but here are some top evidence-based approaches:

• Epidural steroid injections – reduce inflammation around the nerve root
• Physical therapy – improves biomechanics and reduces compression
• Nerve blocks – temporarily calm irritated nerves
• Spinal cord stimulation – for chronic, unrelenting nerve pain
• Lifestyle & posture correction – especially for disc-related issues

At Medici, we don’t just treat symptoms—we identify the cause and build a personalized plan to relieve pain without addictive medications or aggressive surgery.

Here’s the good news: SCS surgery is generally well-tolerated and far less invasive than many spinal surgeries.

Most patients describe mild post-procedure soreness around the incision sites and spine. The procedure is typically done under local anesthesia with light sedation, and:

• There's no cutting of bones or muscles
• It's done outpatient at our Ambulatory Surgery Center in Marietta
• Most people are up and walking the same day

You’ll likely feel sore for a few days, but many say the relief from chronic pain far outweighs the temporary discomfort from the surgery itself.

The spinal cord stimulator (SCS) trial is your chance to "test-drive" pain relief—before committing to permanent implantation. At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we walk you through every step with care and clarity.

Here's how the process works:

1. Initial Consultation
   We evaluate your condition (typically chronic back or nerve pain) and determine if you're a candidate. If you’ve tried other treatments without lasting relief, you might benefit from SCS.
2. Trial Placement (Minimally Invasive)
   Under light sedation, we insert temporary leads near your spinal cord. These leads are connected to an external stimulator that delivers gentle electrical impulses to interrupt pain signals.
3. Test Phase (5–7 days)
   You go about your daily life while tracking pain levels, mobility, and quality of sleep. Most patients feel significant relief during the trial.
4. Decision Time
   If the trial provides at least 50% pain reduction, we can proceed with a permanent SCS implant.

If you’ve been diagnosed with a bulging or herniated disc, you might be wondering: “Can PT really help?” The answer is a resounding yes—and often, without surgery.

Physical therapy can help by:

• Decompressing the disc through specific exercises and postural corrections
• Strengthening the core and back muscles to reduce stress on the spine
• Improving spinal alignment and mobility to decrease nerve irritation
• Reducing inflammation with manual therapy and movement-based strategies

At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, our conservative, minimally invasive philosophy means surgery is always the last resort. Our spine team works hand-in-hand to give you a therapy plan that treats the root of the problem, not just the symptoms.

Spine-focused physical therapy is like having a tailor for your spine—highly specialized, precise, and outcome-driven.

Unlike general PT, which may treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, spine-focused therapy:

• Targets spinal mechanics, disc health, and nerve root involvement
• Uses evidence-based protocols for disc herniations, stenosis, and post-surgical rehab
• Involves core stabilization, neuromuscular re-education, and postural retraining
• Is often integrated with pain management techniques such as spinal injections or regenerative medicine

At Medici, we combine advanced diagnostics with customized therapy to ensure that every movement serves a purpose in your recovery.

If you’re experiencing sciatica pain, don’t wait—early intervention can make all the difference.

Medici Orthopaedics & Spine offers targeted physical therapy for sciatica at multiple convenient locations, including:

• Kennesaw Clinic – (770) 545-6404

Strengthening your knee after a meniscus tear is key to regaining stability and preventing reinjury—whether you had surgery or opted for conservative care.

Here are some top exercises (always under guidance from a provider or physical therapist):

1. Quad sets – tighten your thigh muscle with the leg straight
2. Straight leg raises – strengthens your quads without stressing the knee
3. Mini squats (wall-assisted) – builds controlled strength
4. Heel slides – improve range of motion
5. Step-ups – enhance coordination and balance
6. Resistance band walks – target stabilizers in the hips and knees

At Medici, we customize each rehab plan based on tear location, severity, and your lifestyle goals—often combining therapy with regenerative injections for faster recovery.

Yes—Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections have shown great success in treating tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), especially in cases where rest, therapy, or anti-inflammatories haven’t worked.

Here’s how PRP works:

• We draw a small amount of your blood
• It's spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the healing platelets
• These platelets are then injected directly into the inflamed tendon

Benefits of PRP:

• Stimulates natural repair of damaged tissue
• Reduces chronic inflammation
• Minimally invasive and drug-free
• Often leads to faster, longer-lasting pain relief

At our Atlanta-area clinics, we offer PRP as part of a comprehensive elbow pain program. It's a favorite among athletes and active professionals looking to heal naturally and return to action.

For patients in Snellville living with diabetic neuropathy, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) offers a powerful way to reduce symptoms and prevent serious complications.

Here’s how it works:

• Increased oxygen supports nerve regeneration
• Improved blood flow combats the poor circulation common in diabetic limbs
• Reduced inflammation helps decrease pain, tingling, and burning sensations
• Enhanced tissue repair lowers the risk of ulcers, infections, or amputation

At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine in Snellville, we often combine HBOT with other non-invasive treatments like electric stimulation therapy, physical therapy, and regenerative medicine for synergistic results.

📍 Located right on Wisteria Drive, we’re helping patients like you regain feeling, function, and peace of mind—without relying solely on medications.

At our Medici Orthopaedics & Spine Kennesaw clinic, we use Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) to support a wide variety of conditions, including:

• Diabetic foot ulcers and peripheral neuropathy
• Post-surgical recovery
• Radiation injuries (such as after cancer treatment)
• Chronic infections (osteomyelitis)
• Crush injuries or compartment syndrome
• Sports injuries and inflammation
• Neuropathy-related tissue damage
• Long COVID-related fatigue and oxygen deficiency (in select cases)

HBOT is safe, FDA-approved for many conditions, and often used as a complementary therapy to support our regenerative and non-surgical orthopedic approach.

💬 Curious whether HBOT might help your condition? We’re happy to answer your questions. Click here to schedule a consultation.

Yes—Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has proven to be remarkably effective in helping wounds heal faster, especially chronic, non-healing wounds.

At our Kennesaw clinic, we use HBOT to treat:

• Diabetic ulcers
• Post-surgical wounds
• Infected wounds or abscesses
• Crush injuries
• Radiation-damaged tissue

HBOT works by having the patient breathe 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber, which delivers 20–30x more oxygen to your bloodstream. This boost helps revive cells, stimulate collagen, and accelerate tissue regeneration.

For patients struggling with wounds that just won’t heal, HBOT can be a game-changer—offering a non-invasive, painless, and effective solution close to home.

📞 Call us at (770) 545-6404 to learn how we’re helping Kennesaw patients get back on their feet faster with HBOT.

Great news! You don’t have to look far.

To reiterate—yes, e-stim can help nerve pain.

It works by stimulating nerves and muscles through painless electrical pulses that:

• Override pain signals
• Trigger endorphin release
• Promote nerve regeneration
• Increase blood flow to damaged areas

For conditions like sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, or chronic back pain, e-stim is often used during physical therapy sessions or at home with a TENS unit prescribed by your Medici provider.

💡 Patients typically report a soothing, tingling sensation—many feel immediate relief after a session.

Here in Georgia, with its warm climate and year-round outdoor opportunities, many natural strategies are even more accessible. Here are some Georgia-friendly tips:

• Herbal support – supplements like alpha-lipoic acid, B-complex vitamins, and ginkgo biloba.
• Gentle hiking in places like Kennesaw Mountain or Stone Mountain Park to keep blood moving.
• Southern diet makeovers – swap fried foods for heart-healthy fats, whole grains, and colorful produce.
• Yoga or tai chi – great indoor options during humid summer months to support circulation and nerve health.
• Stay hydrated – critical in Georgia’s hot weather to support optimal blood viscosity.

For targeted, medically-guided help, our Kennesaw and Snellville clinics offer neuropathy-focused wellness programs that bridge natural care with advanced treatments.

Ozone therapy is an innovative treatment that uses a special form of oxygen (O₃) to:

• Reduce inflammation
• Stimulate healing
• Disinfect and oxygenate tissues

For back pain, especially from herniated discs or degenerative disc disease, ozone is gently injected near the affected area, where it shrinks inflamed tissues and improves oxygen delivery. This can result in:

• Less pressure on nerves
• Improved circulation
• Reduced pain

Our Marietta surgical center offers ozone therapy as a non-surgical, outpatient option—often as an alternative to spinal surgery or high-dose pain medications.

📞 Call (470) 795-8398 to find out if ozone therapy is right for your condition.

‍

For many patients—yes. While the nerves may eventually regenerate (often after 6 to 18 months), many experience significant relief during that window. If the pain returns, the procedure can often be safely repeated.

Long-term success depends on:

• The underlying cause of the pain
• Whether the correct nerves were targeted
• The patient’s overall rehab and wellness program

At Medici, we never rely on a single approach. Nerve ablation is usually one part of a multi-faceted, drug-free pain management plan tailored to preserve long-term function and mobility.

Electric Stimulation Therapy (often referred to as e-stim or TENS) uses controlled electrical impulses to:

• Block pain signals from reaching the brain
• Stimulate circulation and healing
• Relax tight muscles or spasms
• Re-educate nerves and muscles after injury

It’s commonly used for nerve pain, post-surgical rehabilitation, and chronic musculoskeletal conditions. At Medici, we integrate e-stim into many of our physical therapy programs, especially for patients recovering from injury or dealing with neuropathy.

✨ When combined with other modalities like manual therapy or regenerative medicine, the benefits are often amplified.

Improving circulation for peripheral neuropathy—especially in the legs and feet—can significantly reduce symptoms like tingling, numbness, and burning pain. Natural strategies that promote circulation include:

• Regular movement & stretching – even short walks help pump blood and oxygen to the nerves.
• Anti-inflammatory foods – berries, leafy greens, turmeric, and omega-3-rich foods.
• Hydration – essential for cellular health and circulation.
• Massage therapy – increases blood flow and relieves tension.
• Foot soaks (warm, not hot) – can ease symptoms and promote blood vessel expansion.
• Compression garments – improve venous return in the legs.

At our clinics, we often combine these natural approaches with medical treatments like electric stimulation or regenerative therapies to enhance outcomes.

📍 If you're near Kennesaw or Snellville, our team can guide you through a personalized neuropathy wellness plan.

Yes, nerve ablation—also known as radiofrequency ablation (RFA)—can be an effective solution for chronic pain, especially if that pain originates from a damaged or irritated nerve. The procedure works by disrupting pain signals sent from the nerve to the brain using heat generated by radiofrequency energy.

It’s especially helpful for patients dealing with conditions like:

• Facet joint arthritis
• Sciatica
• Chronic neck or lower back pain
• Sacroiliac joint dysfunction

At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we typically use nerve ablation as part of a comprehensive, minimally invasive pain management plan—often after diagnostic injections confirm the source of the pain.

👉 Interested in learning if you're a candidate for RFA? Schedule a consultation with our team or call us at +1-844-328-4624.

Yes—spinal cord stimulator (SCS) surgery is available through Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, and we serve patients in and around Snellville with access to both evaluation and implantation.

What is it?
A spinal cord stimulator is a small device implanted under the skin that sends gentle electrical pulses to the spinal cord, blocking pain signals before they reach the brain. It’s often recommended for:

• Failed back surgery syndrome
• Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
• Chronic nerve pain
• Severe radiculopathy (sciatica)

We begin with a trial phase, where you “test-drive” the device before moving forward with a permanent implant.

📍 Surgical procedures are done at our Marietta Ambulatory Surgery Center, and pre/post-op care is available in Snellville.
📞 Call (470) 795-8398 to schedule an SCS consultation.

Sciatica pain—usually from a herniated disc or spinal compression—radiates down the leg and can make everyday movement a challenge.

Here are safe, effective exercises to relieve sciatica:

• Pelvic tilts: Strengthen your core to relieve pressure on your lumbar spine.
• Knee-to-chest stretches: Gently stretch lower back and hamstrings.
• Seated piriformis stretch: Loosens a muscle that often irritates the sciatic nerve.
• Cat-Cow stretch: Mobilizes the spine and improves flexibility.
• Child’s Pose: A gentle way to decompress the lower spine.

Always avoid aggressive twisting or forward-bending if you’re in pain.

At Medici, we create customized exercise programs with our physical therapy team—sometimes paired with injections or decompression therapy to reduce inflammation and accelerate healing.

📍 Available at our Kennesaw, Snellville, and Buckhead clinics.
📞 Call +1-844-328-4624 for a guided sciatica care plan.

‍

Tingling hands can feel like pins and needles—or even like your hand’s “fallen asleep.” It’s often caused by nerve compression, repetitive stress, or conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, or even neck issues radiating down the arm.

Here are natural ways to relieve it:

• Stretch and mobilize: Wrist, neck, and shoulder stretches can release nerve tension.
• Strengthen posture: Poor posture can compress nerves in the neck or shoulder.
• Wrist splints: Especially at night, to prevent excessive flexion/compression.
• Cold therapy: Reduces inflammation in irritated nerves.
• Anti-inflammatory foods: Turmeric, omega-3s, berries, and leafy greens can support nerve health.

If symptoms persist, nerve studies and imaging can help pinpoint the cause—and treatments like physical therapy, nerve gliding exercises, or injections can provide lasting relief.

• Spinal cord stimulation (neuromodulation)
• Physical therapy and movement rehabilitation
• Regenerative medicine like PRP and prolotherapy
• Nerve blocks and radiofrequency ablation

If you're looking for a non-addictive, science-backed pain solution, get in touch to start your path toward relief.

Nerve block injections are one of the most targeted tools we use in managing chronic pain. They work by interrupting pain signals being sent from the nerves to the brain—providing relief where medications might fall short.

They’re commonly used for:

• Sciatica
• Neck and back pain
• Arthritis-related joint pain
• Neuropathy
• Post-surgical or cancer pain

These injections can be both diagnostic and therapeutic. If the block works, it confirms the pain source and often provides long-lasting relief when done as a series.

At Medici, we combine nerve blocks with physical therapy and regenerative treatments to help patients achieve greater pain relief with fewer medications.

After an auto accident, pain can show up days or weeks later, affecting your neck, back, shoulders, or other joints. At our Marietta Ambulatory Surgery Center (792 Church Street), we focus on restoring function, not just masking pain.
