Services

Regenerative Medicine

Our regenerative medicine programs utilize advanced biological therapies to promote natural healing. We offer Regenexx procedures including bone marrow concentrate and platelet-rich plasma injections for joint and spine conditions. These minimally invasive treatments help patients avoid surgery while improving functionality and reducing chronic pain through the body's natural repair mechanisms.

Spinal Cord Stimulation

We provide implantable neurostimulation systems for chronic pain management. This advanced technology delivers targeted electrical impulses to interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain. Our specialists conduct thorough trial periods to ensure optimal placement and effectiveness for long-term pain relief in patients with complex pain conditions.

Interventional Pain Management

Our interventional pain management services include epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, and joint injections. These procedures use image guidance for precise delivery of medications to reduce inflammation and pain. Our board-certified specialists tailor injection plans to address specific pain generators in the spine, joints, and peripheral nerves.

PRP Therapy

Platelet-rich plasma therapy uses concentrated growth factors from the patient's own blood to accelerate tissue healing. We employ advanced preparation techniques to create highly concentrated PRP solutions for treating soft tissue injuries, mild arthritis, and chronic tendon conditions using precise image-guided injection methods.

Radiofrequency Ablation

Radiofrequency ablation procedures target specific pain-carrying nerves using controlled heat energy. Our specialists use this technique to treat chronic neck and back pain by interrupting pain signals from facet joints and other structures. The procedure provides longer-lasting relief compared to traditional injection therapies.

I have had severe low back pain for years and received epidural injections with Dr Ahsan and Dr Bhave with excellent improvement. The shot really took care of my leg pain which was excruciating! The staff is very compassionate too!

Dr Bukhalo is caring, intelligent, compassionate and a wizard with needles. After 49 surgeries, long re-habs, Dr Bukhalo was able to help. He was able to listen and find a solution to complicated problems. Never lose hope. If you do you part, you can make it. The staff is always willing to help with all your needs. I recommend Dr Bukhalo highly, if your in pain. He can help

Dr. Ahsan has been helping me with chronic pain that I have had since 2014. He started treating me in 2017 after I had been to several other specialists. In working with Dr. Ahsan, we went through several procedures before discussing the use of an An implantable neurostimulator. We went through a 9 day trail and I am now 5 months post opt. It has truly be life changing. The relief of pain and the hope of returning to some resemblance of normal life has been amazing. If you haven't looked into dorsal root ganglion (DRG) DRG Neurostimulation System, please do.

Dr. Bhave is amazing. 5 star. One of the most kind and compassionate doctors I've had. In an industry that's moving more towards assembly line procedures, she is what you remember a doctor to be. Someone that's invested in helping you to be the healthiest you. She takes the time to ask questions and explain things, and is very dedicated to her patients. The office experience gets 3 stars. Lost and misplaced imaging cd's, some scheduling errors, and the like.

I'm willing to put up with it due to the excellence of care. There can be a wait at times, but I'm also tolerant of this. I've been there for a consultation, that Dr ended up fitting me in for a procedure due to the amount of pain I was in. I assume this is done for others as well. I'm happy to wait if others are getting the same treatment and help with their pain. Just know about it and leave a little more time in your schedule than you may expect.
