How can Image-Guided Neck & Back Injections help you?
- Rapid Sciatica & Radiculopathy Relief: Has the potential to quickly reduce inflammation around pinched nerve roots, easing shooting pain into the arms or legs.
- Diagnostic & Therapeutic Dual Action: Confirms the exact spinal level generating pain while potentially providing months of functional relief.
- Restoring Mobility: Our goal is to reduce pain enough to allow active participation in core stabilization and spine physical therapy.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You are an ideal candidate if you:
- Suffer from acute or chronic lower back pain, neck stiffness, radiating leg pain (sciatica), or numbness.
- Have diagnostic imaging (MRI or CT) showing a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or facet joint arthritis.
- Want to avoid invasive spine surgery or delay surgical intervention as long as possible.
Image-Guided Neck & Back Injections
Neck and back injections (including Epidural Steroid Injections, Facet Joint Injections, and Sacroiliac Joint Blocks) deliver targeted anti-inflammatory medication directly into the spinal spaces causing pain. Performed using high-resolution fluoroscopy (live X-ray guidance), these minimally invasive procedures may calm irritated spinal nerves, reduce spinal swelling, and break chronic neck or back pain cycles.
What to Expect During the Procedure
- Preparation: You lie comfortably on a specialized treatment table. The skin is cleansed and thoroughly numbed with a local anesthetic.
- During the Injection: Live imaging guides a micro-needle to the precise epidural space or joint capsule. Contrast dye is used to verify safety before the anti-inflammatory medication is administered.
- Duration & Recovery: Takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes. After a brief 15-minute observation period, you return home to rest, with normal activities resuming the following day.

Endurance Athlete Medicine
Performance & Overuse Care for Runners, Cyclists, and Triathletes
Endurance injuries stem from repetitive microtrauma, rapid training load spikes, and subtle biomechanical inefficiencies. Unlike contact trauma, endurance conditions require addressing the underlying root cause of mechanical breakdown so you can train consistently without chronic pain.
Diagnostic & Treatment Solutions
We partner with local runners, cyclists, and triathletes to keep them training safely:
- High-Resolution Ultrasound: Detecting early tendon degeneration, bursitis, and fluid collection before a partial tear occurs.
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: Stimulating natural healing in chronic, stubborn tendinopathies without requiring months of complete rest.
- Load Management Guidance: Helping you adjust training volume safely while incorporating cross-training to preserve aerobic cardiovascular fitness.
Don't wait for pain to dictate your lifestyle.
What are the Common Symptoms & Root Causes of Overuse Injuries?
- Symptoms: Aching pain during long runs or rides, persistent tendon stiffness, focal bone tenderness, chronic muscle tightness, and declining performance.
- Causes: Rapid mileage or elevation spikes, improper bike fit or footwear, glute/core weakness, and high-volume training on steep terrain across the Wasatch region.
When should i seek Endurance care?
- Performance Limits: You experience recurring pain limiting your running mileage, cycling wattage, or swimming endurance.
- Race Preparation: You are training for an upcoming marathon, ultra, or triathlon and need to resolve nagging overuse pain.
- Recurrent Setbacks: You suffer from the same seasonal overuse injuries year after year.
