Advanced Medical Imaging Clinic

Conservative Care First

Earlier care often includes:

  • Physical Therapy & Guided Exercise
  • Rest & Activity Modification
  • Nonsurgical Clinical Management

Patients searching for pain management Lincoln, NE, services can ask their provider whether AMI’s diagnostic or interventional services may be appropriate for their condition.

Understanding where discomfort originates can help the care team select an appropriate next step. Back pain may involve the vertebrae, discs, joints, nearby soft tissues, or an irritated nerve. Symptoms may remain in the lower back or travel into the hips and legs. Certain patterns may be described generally as neuropathic pain when they involve burning, tingling, numbness, or pain associated with nerve irritation.

Imaging can help the referring provider and radiologist evaluate the spine, spinal cord, surrounding nerves, and other structures when clinically appropriate. AMI offers several options for selected back and spine conditions, including the Intracept Procedure, selective nerve blocks, vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty, and image-guided steroid injections. An epidural steroid injection may be used to place anti-inflammatory medication in the epidural space surrounding the spinal sac, nerves, and spinal cord when inflammation contributes to low-back or related leg symptoms.

The procedure recommended depends on the diagnosis, medical history, imaging findings, and treatment goals. Some procedures help identify the source of discomfort, while others may reduce inflammation, relieve symptoms, or improve function.

Depending on the condition and procedure, earlier care may include:

  • Rest or activity modification
  • Physical therapy or guided exercise
  • Prescribed pain medicine
  • Other nonsurgical treatment suited to the diagnosis

For eligible patients, treatment in AMI’s comfortable outpatient setting may involve less pain, downtime, and recovery than traditional surgery. AMI shouldn't be described as a medication-management practice or a general pain center, but its interventional radiology team does provide several image-guided options for selected causes of pain.

Advanced Pain Management

Personalized Care for Back, Nerve, and Joint Pain

Pain doesn't always remain in one location. Identifying the likely source helps our care team avoid focusing only on where discomfort is felt, ensuring a more effective recovery path.

A problem involving the spine may irritate a nerve and produce symptoms in the hip, leg, shoulder, or arm. Joint pain may also arise from inflammation, injury, tendon disease, or changes in surrounding tissues.

AMI combines diagnostic radiology with interventional expertise to support coordinated care. Imaging may help evaluate bones, joints, tendons, soft tissues, nerves, and other structures associated with ongoing symptoms.

AMI’s pain-management services address several areas of the body, including the back, feet, ankles, legs, hips, knees, elbows, pelvis, and selected joints.

Selective nerve blocks may help determine whether a particular nerve root or facet joint is contributing to symptoms. Therapeutic injections may also include steroid medication intended to reduce nerve irritation.

Tenex Health TX: Eligible patients with chronic tendon disease may be considered for Tenex after conservative therapies haven't provided adequate improvement. This procedure removes damaged tendon tissue to stimulate a natural healing response.

Specialized Care: Patients with knee osteoarthritis may be evaluated for genicular artery embolization, while those with certain hip symptoms may be considered for diagnostic or therapeutic hip joint injections. AMI also lists minimally invasive treatment options for selected pelvic and testicular pain conditions.

  • Reviewing symptoms, medical history, current medications, and previous treatment.
  • Using appropriate imaging to investigate the suspected source.
  • Discussing whether an epidural injection, nerve block, or image-guided procedure is suitable.
  • Coordinating findings and recommendations with the patient’s care team.
