Interventional Pain Solutions
Is chronic pain limiting you from living an active, fulfilling life?At Panorama Orthopedics & Spine Center, we offer advanced, research-based, interventional pain solutions for patients.
Benefits Include:
Cutting-edge techniques supported by clinical studies
ReActiv8 with Mainstay – Restorative Nerve Stimulation
ReActiv8 is an implantable restorative neuro-stimulation system to treat intractable axial low back pain. It is proved through clinical research that ReActiv8 is the only proven neuro-stimulation system to address mechanical intractable axial low back pain by restoring spinal motor control.
You may be a candidate for ReAciv8 if:
You are suffering from chronic lower back pain that has no definite diagnosis requiring surgery (e.g., fracture or stenosis)
Physical therapy and medications are not working
Pain is more prominent in your lower back than in legs
You haven’t undergone prior lumbar spine surgery
ReActiv8 placement
ReActiv8 system is implanted under your skin in the upper buttock or lower back area using a minimally invasive procedure under deep sedation. The device comprises of an implanted pulse generator and two leads that are positioned to stimulate the nerves that control your multifidus muscle, a deep muscle in your lower back that is the main stabilizer of the spine.
It’s a Patient-controlled therapy
Once you will recover from surgery, the device activation process begins. The physician, using your feedback, will calibrate the system to deliver optimum stimulation. The goal is for the therapy to feel like a comfortable muscle contraction. At home, you will use a wireless remote control to start the therapy sessions, typically twice a day. Over time these therapy sessions will restore the body’s ability to support the spine, improve your function and decrease your pain.
Randomized controlled studies
A worldwide double blinded, randomized, sham-controlled clinical trial of the ReActiv8 system showed durable, statistically significant, and clinically substantial benefits in a large cohort of patients with severe, disabling CLBP.
These Clinical trials of ReActiv8-B revealed that 80% of patients were “definitely satisfied” with the treatment at two years. By this time, 72% of patients have at least decreased their pain by half, and 67% of patients have effectively resolved their chronic low back pain. Also, 60% of the patients previously taking opioids had voluntarily discontinued or reduced their use.

Sprint - SPR – Peripheral nerve stimulation
If you are suffering from a temporary pain and looking for a non-narcotic, non-surgical alternative for your chronic and acute pain relief, then Sprint Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) System may be for you. SPR-PNS is a minimally invasive treatment to relieve:
Low Back and neck pain
Knee pain (Inoperable and Post-Surgical)
Shoulder pain (Inoperable and Post-Surgical)
Foot and ankle pain (Inoperable and Post-Surgical)
Nerve or plexus trauma
Post-operative nerve pain
Post-amputation pain
Post Herniorrhaphy pain
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
Post Decompression/transposition surgeries
Meralgia Paraesthetica
How it works?
The Sprint-PNS System works by connecting a wearable stimulator to a 0.2mm (about the size of a coarse human hair) wire placed through the skin. The stimulator sends mild electrical pulses through a very small MicroLead, directly to the nerves to stimulate them. This method works to eventually reduce pain signals being sent to the brain from the nerve cells. The level of stimulation is easily controlled with a hand-held remote to comfortably provide pain relief. It can be used for up to 60 days. Ultrasound is used to place the mircrolead near the nerve causing pain, requiring no incisions.
Benefits of Sprint-PNS System
Some of the key benefits of SPR-PNS are:
No permanent implants
No invasive surgery (no incisions)
No tissue destruction
No nerve damage
No opioid prescription
FDA approved
It is clinically proven that the majority of patients experience sustained relief after the MicroLead is removed and the treatment ends.
Stimwave Technologies
If you have chronic pain, Stimwave Technologies’ Freedom Systems, the PNS (Peripheral Nerve Stimulation) and SCS (Spinal Cord Stimulator) products, may help to provide long-lasting pain relief. This treatment option involves implanting a device that sends electrical stimulation to block pain signals at the pain source. Stimwave is powered wirelessly through HF-EMC technology–without an implanted battery.
How it works?
The Stimwave Technologies’ Freedom Systems uses micro technology, which makes it the smallest pain relief implant in the world. A tiny electrode array and receiver are implanted near a peripheral nerve in your body. The electrode array and receiver fits through a needle sized incision and is performed as a minimally-invasive, outpatient procedure.
What does the StimWave system offer?
Stimwave Technologies is an FDA approved system for management of chronic intractable pain. It offers:
Targeted pain relief below the head (including knee pain, shoulder pain, arm & wrist pain or foot & ankle pain)
Minimally-invasive technique
No battery implanted inside of your body
External power transmitter that eliminates a requirement for sitting while charging
LSS is a condition in which the lower spinal canal narrows and compresses the spinal nerves in the lower back. This compression often results in pain and mobility issues.If you:
Feel pain or numbness in your lower back while standing
Experience pain, numbness or tingling in legs or buttocks while walking
Get relief when sitting or leaning forward
You might be suffering from Lumbar Spinal Stenosis (LSS).
Take your next step to mild
If you’re suffering from LSS and alternative treatments such physical therapy, pain medication or chiropractic care are not providing the adequate relief to your pain, then mild may be a treatment option for you. The mild Procedure is performed using a local anesthetic and light sedation, leaving no implants behind.
How it works?
This procedure works by removing excess ligament tissue to restore space in the spinal canal, which is the major root cause of LSS. The procedure typically takes less than an hour and can be performed through a single, tiny incision smaller than the size of a baby aspirin (5.1 mm).
What are the benefits of mild?
Increased mobility
Outpatient procedure
Can be beneficial even if you already had a surgery
Compatible for patients with existing risk factors
Safety profile equivalent to epidural steroid injection (ESI) but with long-lasting results
Does not require general anesthesia, implants, stitches, steroids, or opioids
Extremely low complication risk
Minimal time for recovery
Minimal post-procedure restrictions
Clinical outcomes of mild
A 1-Year Cleveland Clinical Study revealed that after mild treatment, patients were able to increase their average standing time from 8 minutes to 56 minutes and walking distance from 246 feet to 3,956 feet with less pain. A 5-Year Cleveland Clinic Study indicated that mild helped 88% of patients avoid back surgery for at least 5 years while providing lasting relief.
Intracept by Relivient – Basivertebral Nerve Ablation
If you are experiencing chronic, axial (midline), non-specific lower back pain for six months or longer and have failed conservative therapies, Intracept basivertebral nerve ablation can help you to reduce your pain. The Intracept by Relivient, is a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure targeted to ablate the Basivertebral Nerve in the vertebral body to significantly improve chronic, axial low back pain. The procedure maintains the normal spine architecture and does not use an implant.
How it works?
In Intracept basivertebral nerve ablation procedure your surgeons uses the radiofrequency energy to ablate, or destroy, the nerve that is transmitting pain signals to your brain. It targets the basivertebral nerve for the relief of chronic vertebrogenic low back pain. Ablating the nerve stops the pain signals, resulting in reduced or eliminated low back pain.
Benefits ofIntracept by Relivient
Safe and effective treatment for management of axial pain
Long-lasting treatment for chronic lower back pain caused by vertebrogenic pain syndrome
Provides a treatment option for patients who have not responded to conservative therapy
Implant-free and preserves the structure of the spine
Minimally invasive, outpatient procedure
FDA approved.
Clinical studies
Level 1, randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled clinical trials demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Intracept procedure with the procedure leading to statistically significant pain relief and functional improvement.
Another study showed that radiofrequency ablation of the basivertebral nerve is a safe and effective treatment for discogenic chronic low back pain.
