Non-Surgical Treatments

Start With the Least-Invasive Options

Most patients improve without surgery. Our team takes a conservative-first approach with treatments designed to reduce pain, improve strength, and prevent future flare-ups.

Non-Surgical Pain Management Treatments

  • Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Our licensed physical therapists develop targeted exercise programs to strengthen affected muscles and improve nerve function. Many patients experience significant improvement in muscle strength and reduced pain within weeks.
    • Neuromuscular re-education exercises
    • Progressive strengthening protocols
  • Targeted Injection Therapy Based on EMG findings, our specialists may recommend precise injections to reduce inflammation and provide pain relief. These minimally invasive treatments can offer months of symptom improvement.
    • Epidural steroid injections for radiculopathy
    • Trigger point injections for muscle disorders
  • Nerve Block Procedures For specific nerve conditions identified through EMG, targeted nerve blocks can interrupt pain signals and allow for healing. These procedures are performed with imaging guidance for maximum precision.
    • Peripheral nerve blocks
    • Sympathetic nerve blocks
  • Medication Management Our pain management specialists prescribe evidence-based medications tailored to your specific nerve or muscle condition. Treatment may include neuropathic pain medications, muscle relaxants, or anti-inflammatory drugs.
    • Neuropathic pain medications
    • Muscle relaxant therapy
  • Regenerative Medicine For certain muscle and nerve conditions, regenerative treatments may promote healing and reduce inflammation. These innovative therapies can complement traditional pain management approaches.
    • Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy
    • Stem cell treatments

Surgical Options

If Surgery is Right for You

Procedures are determined after evaluation—this list is for education only.

Surgical Pain Management Procedures

  • Nerve Decompression Surgery When EMG identifies nerve compression as the cause of your symptoms, our fellowship-trained spine surgeons can perform minimally invasive procedures to relieve pressure on affected nerves. These outpatient procedures often provide immediate symptom relief.
  • Spinal Fusion for Radiculopathy For severe nerve root compression identified through EMG testing, spinal fusion may be necessary to stabilize the spine and eliminate nerve irritation. Our surgeons use advanced minimally invasive techniques when possible.
  • Peripheral Nerve Repair When EMG reveals peripheral nerve damage, surgical repair or reconstruction may restore function. Our specialists work closely with hand and orthopedic surgeons to provide comprehensive nerve repair services.

What Patients Say

I highly recommend Dr. lee, he performed Back Surgery on me in August and I have had a complete and satisfactory recovery.

I was acquainted with doctor Kevin Lee before I had a brain biopsy at Detroit Receiving Hospital, when I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Dr. Kevin Lee is a compassionate man and I am at awe of him. If someone has a problem with my comments, he/she should speak to James Shaw.

I highly recommend Dr. Lee to anyone seeking relief from spinal issues. He and his office are always a pleasure to work with. I have been getting treatment from Dr. Lee for approximately 5 yrs and throughout that time his office always returned my calls with answers to my questions. I never felt pressured into surgery, and was always treated as knowledgeable with time given to answers for all my questions. All this is a BIG plus in the healing process and the doctor/patient relationship.

I have been going to Dr. Lee for about 3 years now. I am very happy with the treatment he has provided to me. There is no pressure to do any major surgery. He has helped me tremendously. I would highly recommend him.

In the summer of 2019 I had excruciating pain in my low back. DR. Lee ordered an MRI which showed several bulging disks. In September he gave me 2 steroid shots under anesthetic so I felt no pain. Soon after the shots I got up from the table, walked out pain free. It is now summer of 2023 ( 4 years) and the pain has not returned. I am very pleased and recommend Dr. Lee to my friends.

Dr.Kassa is amazing. He goes through everything, explaining things in a way that's simple to understand. He genuinely cares about my condition and also addresses other conditions of previous treatments, he also is attentive of my medical history outside of synergy as not to prescribe conflicting medicine or treatment. Personally and professionally he's great guy. He's a doctor that still greats you with a handshake and a smile.

I am a complicated case and Dr Kassa has followed a progressive plan that made my spinal pain go away. Between procedures he was able to keep me pain-free so I could continue working. He is doing everything to avoid surgery. I appreciate his informed and open "bedside manner". I trust this team!
