- ArthritisWelcome to the Itasca office of Illinois Pain & Spine Institute. The types of problems we often diagnose and treat include persistent, complex pain from medical conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, pelvic pain, and chronic headaches. The spine is an intricate structure of irregularly shaped bones, and it is also composed of joints, ligaments, muscles, and nerves. Spinal disease is a major cause of chronic pain, and it can affect movement and functionality. According to the American Medical Association, chronic back pain affects around 10% of the general population.
- FibromyalgiaOur Chicago pain clinic treats a wide range of conditions that cause pain, including fibromyalgia, ankylosing spondylosis, carpal tunnel, and more.
- Pelvic Pain
- Carpal Tunnel SyndromeThe carpal tunnel is the passageway in the wrist that connects the forearm to the middle compartment of the deep plane of the palm. The tunnel consists of bones and connective tissue. Several tendons and a nerve pass through it. The canal is narrow and when any of the nine long flexor tendons passing through it swells, the narrowing of the canal often results in nerves becoming compressed.

- Physical TherapyA series of peripheral and possibly sympathetic nerve blocks as well as medication can alleviate the pain allowing the patient to tolerate physical therapy for range of motion and desensitization exercises to restore their functional ability and quality of life. Spinal cord stimulation may also be effective in providing relief.
