Innovative Services at Our Pain Management Center
At West Michigan Pain, we specialize in offering a range of cutting-edge pain management procedures that are designed to provide targeted relief and improved functionality for individuals dealing with various pain conditions.
Explore our innovative treatments and their associated benefits:
- Kyphoplasty/Vertebroplasty: Procedures involving the injection of bone cement into fractured vertebrae to stabilize fractures, reduce pain, and restore vertebral height.
- Radiofrequency Ablation: Involves using heat generated by radiofrequency waves to target and disrupt nerve signals, providing long-lasting pain relief.
- SI-Fusion: The iFuse Implant System was developed as a minimally invasive surgical option for patients who have failed non-surgical options. The iFuse triangle-shaped implant, available since 2009, is clinically proven to reduce pain and improve function and quality of life. Tens of thousands of patients have subsequently been treated with iFuse by thousands of trained surgeons around the world.
- Minute man: The Minuteman® technology consists of thoughtfully-designed instrumentation and implants that enable providers to perform all of the necessary elements to achieve fusion of the posterior bony elements of the lumbar spine.
The tissue-sparing approach uses a series of instruments to access and enable direct visualization of the posterior bony elements (e.g., spinous processes, laminae, facet joints, etc.) and to decorticate bony surfaces using two specialized decortication instruments. Next, bone graft materials are placed in the implant and delivered directly in contact with the freshly decorticated bone. The implant is placed under compression between the bony surfaces to encourage osseointegration and is then locked in place to span the interspace with secure fixation points at each end of the construct.
By strictly adhering to known principles of lumbar arthrodesis, Skoblar et al. recently reported successful fusion outcomes in 93% of patients utilizing the Minuteman® technology.
