Your sacroiliac joints (we call them the "SI" joints) are the places where your hips meet your spine. These joints don't have a lot of flexibility, but they do move slightly as you move your body. And if SI joints become damaged or diseased, it can be painful. This injection procedure is performed to relieve pain caused by arthritis in the sacroiliac joint where the spine and hip bone meet.
This procedure temporarily disrupts the nerves of the celiac plexus. These nerves branch away from your spine. They connect to the organs in your abdomen. Pain signals caused by conditions such as pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer travel through these nerves on the way to your brain. A celiac plexus block can relieve your pain.
This condition is a deterioration of the facet joints, which help stabilize the spine and limit excessive motion. The facet joints are lined with cartilage and are surrounded by a lubricating capsule that enables the vertebrae to bend and twist. During this minimally-invasive procedure, the physician uses heat from radio waves to treat painful facet joints in your lower back.
This chronic condition is believed to be a type of interference with the way your brain processes pain signals. It leaves you highly sensitive to pain. If you have this condition, you may feel long-lasting pain throughout your body. This outpatient procedure is designed to reduce or relieve the pain of trigger points.
You're not alone if you suffer from neck pain that's severe enough to limit your movement or activities, as it's estimated that 10-20% of adults experience the same problem. John S. Michels, MD, of Interventional Spine & Pain in Dallas, serving greater Dallas/Ft.

Dr. Michels and his staff are fantastic. During my last visit I was seen virtually immediately! Dr. Michels read my chart, asked pertaint questions about my medical issues and after listening to me without interrupting me asked me additional questions for clarification. Afterwards he instructed his staff to make a MRI appointment for me ASAP. I received a call from his office with the results of the MRI and have a follow-up appointment with him to go over the MRI findings and discuss treatment options.

Dr Michels is amazing!! His bedside manner is fantastic. His office staff treated me with the respect and kindness one would hope for. I needed to have a device put into my back and they kept after my insurance to make sure it happened. Before seeing him, I was basically bedridden with the kind of pain I was in. Now, after having gotten my device, I’ve gotten my regular life back!!! I would highly recommend him to others!!! Thank you, Dr Michels!!!

First and foremost, how quickly they answer the phone is crazy to me because any dr I have ever called, you have to jump through hoops to talk to them. Second, the receptionist, Evelin, is wonderful. I was very upset trying to get to the parking garage because it was a little hard to find and she was so sweet and calm and calmed me down to find the building. Then when I get back to see Dr. Michels, he was this beautiful tall man with the most beautiful eyes and he was so extremely sweet and caring! It’s no wonder he got Dallas best physician 3 years in a row, including this year! I mean the way

Dr Michels took a lot of time to explain the answers to all my questions and he is very reassuring. The office staff is very friendly and efficient. All my appointment were right on time. Best of all… after my procedure I felt better than I had for many months! Dr Michels is wonderful and highly skilled.

Dr. Michels was very personable and empathetic!
Since I was in so much pain, he was very gentle with me.
We made a plan of action and he spoke In terms I understood , and used a model of the spine to show me exactly what was going on and how he would approach fixing it.
It is Friday, and he was able to fit me in on Tuesday morning. He was amazing. 2 of my friends and another one of my docs had been to him and they had huge relief !
I am looking forward to Tuesday and how it on continues to get better! Thank you so much for my referrals from my doctors and from my friends! I think you sent me

So far so GREAT! Dr. Michels has been quick and to the point in dealing with my back issue. I was able to get in for the consultation within days of calling and was back shortly after to begin treatment. After being bounced around from doctor to doctor over the last few years, this experience has been a breath of fresh air!!

I have had a great experience with Dr. Michels and his team! I was so depressed and in tons of pain. He got me in quickly for my first visit and quickly scheduled for injections. My pain is now controlled and I'm able to get back to my life. He explained my condition in a way I could easily understand, and I feel secure that I know what I can and can't do. I highly recommend you visit!
