Dr. Prasad Lakshminarasimhiah may have an unfamiliar last name, but his longtime patients in Frisco, TX, have no trouble saying how they feel about his approach to pain medicine.

He earns a 4.7 out of 5 stars on all the major review sites with such comments as:

“Very professional and caring!”

“He listens and cares about your pain.”

“The best pain management doctor in the DFW area.”

“Dr. P. has a great sense of humor to help alleviate your concerns.”

“I recommend him without reservation.”

Dr. Prasad is board-certified in Pain Medicine and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. A U.S. Army veteran, his interest in pursuing pain medicine was sparked by caring for injured soldiers at the San Antonio Military Medical Center in Texas.

His approach is comprehensive, evidence-based and devoted to using the most cutting-edge approaches. That is one reason he has embraced laser techniques in his practice.

Laser Spine Procedures in Frisco

The laser is the latest tool used by Physician Partners of America to relieve neck and back pain without opioids. It precisely targets pain-causing nerves along the spine and ablates them quickly. The incision is just 2-3 mm. – less than a quarter-inch. That means muscles and tissue are not cut or torn, and recuperation is measured in days, not months. You walk out after the procedure and, for most people, the pain is gone.

Dr. Prasad performs this procedure for two common debilitating conditions: arthritis of the spine and facet disease.  His office takes Medicare and most insurance. You can be sure he will explain all your options, from conservative to cutting-edge, and do his utmost to get you back to doing the things you love.

Got sciatica pain and nowhere to go?

Well, now you do. Physician Partners of America has pain clinics in Tampa to make sure sciatica pain relief is always just moments away.

Let’s talk a little bit about sciatica real quick.

The sciatic nerve runs from your lower back (lumbar region), down through your hips and buttocks and down each leg branching out into the feet. Half of your body can feel pain when this nerve suffers compression at any point.

This compression, or pressure on the nerves, is usually due to either: bone spurs, abnormal growths (cysts or tumors), herniated/slipped discs, or a disorder called spinal stenosis where the spinal canal is narrowed.

Symptoms of sciatica may be shooting pains down one leg, tingling sensations or numbness.

Tampa Sciatica Pain Relief Treatments

Treating your sciatica pain at our Tampa clinics can be done through minimally invasive surgeries or procedures using medication, or through non-pharmacological therapies where a more natural approach is taken. Our clinics offer a well-rounded, complete pain management environment where a variety of pain relief treatments can be utilized to get you better faster.

Depending upon the underlying cause for your sciatica pain, our doctors will discuss the best treatment options for you.

Selection of Sciatica Treatments

Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injection – Epidural steroid injections deliver medication directly (or as close as possible to) the source of pain generation.

Lumbar Sympathetic Block – A lumbar sympathetic block is an injection in the lower back that targets the lumbar sympathetic nerves, a series of nerves that carry pain signals from the lower extremities.

Nerve Block – A nerve block is an anesthetic or anti-inflammatory injection into a particular nerve or group of nerves for pain relief. The aim is to block pain signal(s) coming from a specific location in the body and/or decrease inflammation in that area.

Non-Pharmacological – A more organic and natural approach to healing with non-drug treatments, we offer such therapies as acupuncture, acupressure, aromatherapy, physical therapy, massage, guided symbolism, pet therapy and more. Used in conjunction with our other methods, these procedures do very well to keep pain managed over time.
