The epidural space surrounds the spinal canal and is very close to several pain-generating structures such as the intervertebral disc and spinal nerve roots. An epidural injection involves placing a needle into the epidural space to inject medications such as anesthetics and corticosteroids to decrease inflammation and pain.
The facet joint is a small joint in the back of the vertebral column. They help form the connection between each adjacent vertebral level of the spine and they are also paired, one on each side of the vertebral column. Facet joints are a common cause of spinal pain in the lumbar, thoracic and cervical regions.
Adult stem cells are undifferentiated, meaning they are cells which have not grown up and taken their final form and function. Adult stem cells are multipotent, meaning they are capable of differentiating into several possible types of cells. For example, both bone marrow and adipose derived stem cells, given the proper environment and cellular signals, can develop into new and healthy joint cartilage tissue or disc tissue.

Dr Katrina Von Krigenberg is the absolute best doctor around for fixing a painful issue. She saved my husband from 2 possible big surgeries that each had terrible chances of success (from what each doctor said). His original doctors could not agree on what was causing his pain and each recommended a different extremely invasive and expensive surgery to cure it but neither had a good "cure" rate. Someone recommended Dr Katrina and she asked for more MRIs which we had done and then she saw the actual problem and was able to create a treatment plan using her needles and lasers to fix a nerve problem

I am filing a formal complaint against Dr. Von Kreienberg. After rescheduling two epidural appointments she kicked me out of the group and refused to treat me or personally discuss with me the issues.
The doctors assistant, Elizabeth is extremely rude, during one conversation addressed me as "you people" several times. She has a contemptuous attitude regarding the patients.
After repeated attempts to rectify the problem, I was dismissed without with speaking with the doctor. I was told I'd receive a letter stating the reasons. It never came! I called and asked Elizabeth for it again, and again

Without a doubt, Dr. Krista is simply amazing. She’s already helped my pain level in my knee so much. I have serious back issues and I just received a personal call from her directly, rather than her staff. She had thought of a spinal specialist who may be able to remove my spinal stimulator. She personally called him to explain my situation, and his staff was able to get me in this month. It’s not very often that any doctor goes out of their way in this manner for a patient. I recommend her to anyone who’s been struggling with chronic pain without results. She’s very compassionate and
