WP came to us with mid thoracic pain and radiation burning. He had tried epidurals and facets procedures prior to coming to The Centeno-Schultz Clinic.  After evaluation, we decided to continue with the facet procedures and also include some prolotherapy. As a result of his treatments, WP was able to discontinue medication use and his radiating pain subsided.  He also had a decrease in thoracic pain and increase in range of motion.

A 30 something year old mother was diagnosed with a rare tumor (Chondrosarcoma). She had the tumor removed, andl hardware was implanted through a spine surgeon. Her pain was so severe post-operatively, that she was on two anti-convulsant drugs, two pain pills, and two muscle relaxers as well as a Lidocaine patch. All of this medication cost $1,200 per month. Even with all of this, her pain was still an 8-9/10. She was treated with 8 IMS visits (IMS (Intramuscular Stimulation)).

Results: her pain is now down to a 1-2/10 and she is off of all medications after only 8 treaments.
