Redefine Healthcare is pleased to announce that they offer stellate ganglion blocks at their New Jersey locations. Part of the sympathetic nervous system, the stellate ganglion is located on either side of the voice box in the neck. A stellate ganglion block involves injecting medication into the nerves to help reduce pain in the upper chest, upper arm, neck, and head. It can also improve the blood supply to the arm. Stellate ganglion blocks are often used to diagnose or treat problems with circulation or nerve injuries such as phantom limb pain, causalgia, or reflex sympathetic dystrophy.

Redefine Healthcare announced that they offer vertebroplasty for patients at their New Jersey offices. Vertebroplasty is used to reduce deformity and pain after compression fractures of the spine. A compression fracture occurs in the body of the vertebra and may cause one or more vertebrae to collapse; this is often due to osteoporosis. Other conditions such as cancer can also weaken the vertebrae. When a vertebra collapses, vertebroplasty may be able to halt the loss of bone height and reverse painful deformities of the spine. Vertebroplasty is usually most effective if completed within the first eight weeks following the injury. Waiting longer may mean that the fracture will continue to collapse on itself and begin the healing process in this deformed state. If this happens, bone height cannot be restored.

Redefine Healthcare is pleased to announce that they offer the M.I.L.D. (minimally invasive lumbar decompression) procedure at their New Jersey clinics. This procedure is helpful for patients with moderate to severe LSS (lumbar spinal stenosis), who often can't walk more than short distances or even stand for more than a few minutes without experiencing significant pain. This condition significantly affects their quality of life. Until recently, the only treatment options these patients had were conservative methods that weren't always practical or open spine surgery.

Redefine Healthcare offers epidural lysis of adhesions for patients with excess scarring in the epidural space. Lysis of adhesions is also known as the Racz procedure. This procedure helps address scar tissue conditions around the spine. Patients may have scar tissue in the area between the spinal cord and the bones that support and surround it, known as the epidural space.

Redefine Healthcare has announced that it will now offer kyphoplasty treatment at New Jersey locations in Union, Paterson, Edison, and Clifton. Kyphoplasty is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure to treat compression fractures of the vertebrae. These types of fractures occur most often in people with osteoporosis in the thoracic region of the spine, although they may also occur in the lumbar spine.

Redefine Healthcare is pleased to announce that they will now offer electromyography treatment in their NJ clinics. Electromyography, along with nerve conduction studies, is often used to determine the cause of weak or sore muscles and other symptoms. Electromyography measures how well muscles respond to nerve signals from the brain. When a doctor uses it, they can tell their patient more about their condition, such as whether it's a nerve problem or a muscular problem and what to do about it.

Redefine Healthcare announced that they will offer sacroiliac joint injections to provide relief from sciatica symptoms and lower back pain associated with sacroiliac joint dysfunction.

Headaches are a common complaint and one that can be tricky to diagnose. That's because there are many different types of headaches, with many different triggers. Some common causes of headaches include lack of sleep, alcohol, skipped meals, poor posture, and excessive stress. Paying attention to what sets off your headaches can help your chiropractor diagnose and treat them appropriately. Other than lifestyle factors, there are several potential causes of headaches, including referred pain from the soft tissues or bony structures in the neck.

Redefine Healthcare announced today that they would be offering same-day, minimally-invasive pain treatments at their four New Jersey locations: Union, Clifton, Edison, and Paterson.
