Advanced Non-Surgical Treatments for Pain<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The focus of Ventura Pain and Spine Physicians is the non-surgical treatment of back pain, sciatica, neck pain, and chronic pain. Dr. Leo Lombardo is a dual-board-certified anesthesiologist and pain physician who offers alternatives to surgery for patients in Ventura County with painful spine problems and other difficult painful issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Common interventions include epidural injections, diagnostic spinal injections (medial branch blocks, selective nerve root blocks), radiofrequency facet neurotomy (radiofrequency ablation), and image-guided joint injections and nerve blocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back and neck pain can be debilitating. We look forward to meeting you and finding individualized solutions that will relieve your pain and restore your function and enjoyment of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Diagnosis begins with a relaxed and comprehensive discussion of the history of your painful problem. A thorough physical examination will help to differentiate between common and uncommon causes of pain. In some cases, diagnostic imaging or procedures are used to confirm the origin of your pain<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Once the source of pain is found, treatment can be directed to the source. Different pain generators respond to different treatments. Dr. Lombardo will recommend a treatment that is best suited to your individual situation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
