CONDITIONS & TREATMENTS DR. JOHN AKHNOUKH SPECIALIZES IN
TREATMENT APPROACH:
Dr. Akhnoukh follows a highly targeted, non-surgical approach focused on identifying and treating the exact source of spine-related pain. Each patient undergoes a comprehensive evaluation, often supported by advanced imaging and diagnostic injections to pinpoint whether the pain originates from discs, nerves, or joints. Treatment typically begins with conservative options, but quickly advances to interventional procedures when necessary. Using fluoroscopic or ultrasound guidance, Dr. Akhnoukh performs precise injections and nerve-targeting treatments such as epidural steroid injections and medial branch blocks to reduce inflammation and confirm pain generators. For longer-term relief, he offers advanced procedures like radiofrequency ablation to disrupt pain signals, spinal cord stimulation to modulate nerve activity, and basivertebral nerve ablation for chronic vertebrogenic pain. In cases of spinal stenosis, minimally invasive lumbar decompression can relieve pressure on nerves without traditional surgery. His goal is to eliminate pain at its source while helping patients avoid invasive surgical procedures whenever possible.
