NALU Peripheral Nerve Stimulation
Although peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) for chronic pain has been available for many years, the technology never seemed to live up to the promise. Until now. Expert Pain PA recently incorporated a new technology from Nalu Medical that has made PNS an ideal option for many patients suffering from chronic peripheral pain. The new Nalu Peripheral Nerve Stimulation System uses advanced microelectronics to create an extremely small, battery-free, micro-sized implantable pulse generator (IPG). Due to the small size of the IPG and the adaptability of the external components, the system allows a great deal of flexibility in targeting specific nerves. This means your patients with challenging pain of the shoulder, low back, knee, leg, foot and ankle may finally have an option for sustained pain reduction or relief. Patients can try the Nalu PNS System on a temporary basis before committing to a permanent system. If it doesn’t work, the system can be removed with a simple procedure.

Spinal Cord Stimulation
A Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS) is a type of implantable neuromodulation device that is used to send electrical signals to select areas of the spinal cord (dorsal columns) for the treatment of certain pain conditions. Dr. Skaribas and his team are experts in BurstDR and HF10 SCS procedures.
Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injections
Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injections (Interlaminar): Injection of a corticosteroid into the lumbar epidural space under fluoroscopic guidance to provide anti-inflammatory therapy to irritated lumbar spinal nerves.
Cervical Epidural Steroid Injections
Cervical Epidural Steroid Injections involve a Fluoroscopically guided Injection of cortisone into the cervical epidural space to provide an anti-inflamatory therapeutic effect to irritated spinal nerves of the cervical spine.
Facet Joint Injections
These are 10-20 min outpatient procedures that can effectively relieve Back and Neck pain utilizing radiofrequency denervation.
The Migraine Procedure
The Migraine Procedure (Trial/Implantation) utilizes Bilateral Supraorbital and Occipital Neurostimulation for treatment of intractable Migraine headaches as well as all severe Primary Holo-cephalic Headaches.
Nerve Blocks
Often a group of nerves that cause pain to a specific body region can be blocked with the injection of medication. These injections of local anesthetic and anti-inflammatory steroids directly to the area of the affected nerve cluster can significantly help with pain control.
(DRG) Spinal Stimulation
DRG therapy offers a new option for complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). Recently approved by the FDA, DRG treats adults with moderate to severe difficult-to-treat chronic pain caused by CRPS of the lower limbs.
Kyphoplasties
Kyphoplasty is used to treat painful compression fractures in the spine. In a compression fracture, all or part of a spine bone collapses.
