Our Services
Consultation
Your first visit to APMSC is called the “Initial Consultation.” We will obtain a thorough history of, not just your pain, but your overall health as well. Then we will work together to determine what course of treatment will be best for you as an individual.
Follow Up Visits
A follow-up visit is any office visit after your initial consultation. These visits are usually scheduled anytime from 2 weeks to 12 weeks after your initial consultation. These interactions are usually to review imaging studies, assess your response to treatment, or discuss further treatment options.
Interventional Injection Therapies
To assist with either determining the source of your pain or trying to directly treat an anatomical area that has been determined to be painful, our providers can use image-guided injection therapies to deliver medications to the painful area. When we perform our injection procedure, our providers choose to use a generous amount of local anesthetic (“novocaine”), to perform our pain injection procedures without causing any additional anxiety or pain to our patients. At APMSC, we have the most technically advanced fluoroscope in the state of New Mexico. In most cases, your injection procedure can be done safely in our office setting without the need for an inconvenient visit to a hospital or Ambulatory Surgery Center.
