Injured at work or on the road? You don't have to live in pain. 

At McCarron Law Firm, we understand that pain can linger long after the accident. If you're living with discomfort from a personal injury, you deserve a treatment plan that works to improve the quality of your life.

Thanks to advances in modern medicine, there are many effective, minimally invasive options available to reduce or even eliminate pain, without heavy reliance on medication or complex surgery.

Pain Management Treatment Options:
• Regenerative Therapy. Includes PRP and stem cell injections, which use your own body’s healing power to repair damaged tissues.
• Nerve Blocks. These injections can stop pain signals at their source — especially helpful for neck, back, or joint pain.
• Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA). A non-surgical option that uses heat to disable nerves responsible for chronic pain.
• Spinal Cord Stimulators. Implanted devices that disrupt pain signals before they reach the brain.
• Epidural & Facet Joint Injections. Effective for spinal injuries, herniated discs, and arthritis-related pain.
• Minimally Invasive Procedures. Such as the Vertiflex Procedure or MILD treatment for spinal stenosis — with faster recovery and less risk.
