Services
Epidural Steroid Injections
Targeted injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly to irritated spinal nerves. This procedure effectively reduces pain from herniated discs and spinal stenosis while allowing immediate return to normal activities. Our board-certified physician uses fluoroscopic guidance for precise needle placement.
Radiofrequency Neurotomy
This procedure uses heat to interrupt pain signals from damaged nerves. Ideal for chronic back and neck pain, it provides longer-lasting relief than traditional injections. The minimally invasive technique requires no general anesthesia and allows immediate recovery.
Stem Cell Therapy
Harnessing the body's natural healing cells to repair damaged tissues. This innovative approach treats degenerative conditions by injecting concentrated stem cells directly into affected areas. Patients report significant pain reduction and improved mobility through this regenerative solution.
Spinal Cord Stimulation
Advanced implantable devices modulate pain signals before they reach the brain. This reversible treatment option provides continuous relief for chronic pain sufferers who haven't responded to other therapies. Our specialists ensure proper device programming for optimal results.
Trigger Point Injections
Targeted injections alleviate muscle knots and tension-related pain. This straightforward procedure involves injecting local anesthetic into specific trigger points to release muscle tightness and improve range of motion for patients with myofascial pain syndrome.

I have been a patient of Dr. Sakai for many years. I have many things going on with my back, and with the support and expertise of Dr. Sakai, we have an effective, on-going, non-invasive treatment approach. Dr. Sakai not only keeps me standing upright, but I can remain active in martial arts, skiing, and otherwise doing fun things with my kids. He brings me exceptional quality of life, with minimal pain. Thanks Dr. Sakai!

Dr. Sakai is the most compassionate, gentle doctor I have ever dealt with. He takes time to explain what needs to be done and believe me I never felt the injections. The staff is amazingly helpful as well. I would not hesitate to travel to see Dr Sakai again if needed.

I highly recommend Dr. Sakai. He has helped me manage the arthritic pain in my neck when others have failed. He and his staff go above and beyond making what could be a frightening experience, reassuring and successful. Many thanks to Dr. Sakai and to his very capable staff.
