Botox Injections
Botox injections treat chronic migraines and muscle pain by blocking pain signals. Our specialists use FDA-approved techniques to target specific areas causing discomfort. Patients experience reduced pain intensity and frequency with minimal side effects.
Radiofrequency Ablation
This minimally invasive procedure uses heat to disrupt pain signal transmission. Ideal for back and joint pain, it provides lasting relief through targeted nerve treatment. Most patients report significant improvement lasting 6-12 months.
Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cell therapy promotes tissue repair and reduces inflammation naturally. We use autologous cells to treat joint and musculoskeletal conditions. This innovative approach addresses underlying damage for long-term pain management.
Spinal Cord Stimulation
Spinal cord stimulation delivers mild electrical impulses to interrupt pain signals. Effective for complex regional pain syndrome and failed back surgery syndrome, this reversible treatment offers customizable pain control through advanced implantable devices.
Hyalgan Injections
Hyalgan viscosupplementation restores joint lubrication in arthritic knees. This FDA-approved treatment provides 6 months of symptom relief through a series of weekly injections. Patients experience improved mobility and reduced discomfort during daily activities.

I have extreme neurological and muscle pain. Sarah B cut off my prescription for painkillers because I had a glass of wine. Find another pain management specialist, I cannot get out of bed now. I will die soon and this practice doesn't care.

I have been seeing Dr. Sykes, for many years. He is an incredible pain Dr. I have seen if for Neuropathy pain, and Back and Neck pain. He was the one that recommended a spinal cord stimulator for my pain, which really makes a huge difference. The staff and Dr's are incredibly helpful. Nobody likes to see a Dr. but I really don't mind, since being under their care, makes all the difference to me. I love Metro Pain, the are the best. Thank You

I have worked with Dr Quam since 2010! He listens to what I need help with, if that doesn't work he will try something different. I have been very pleased with his services.
