Advanced Spine & Pain Specialists offers comprehensive diagnostic testing and treatment services at their office in the Garfield Ridge neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, to address a variety of underlying causes of chronic pain. Board-certified anesthesiologist and pain medicine specialist Krishna Chunduri, MD, is highly skilled in helping patients manage neck, back, and joint pain that stems from spinal stenosis, arthritis, degenerative disc disease, and other painful conditions. Dr. Chunduri takes an integrative, personalized approach to pain management. He focuses on relieving chronic pain and restoring the function of the spine and painful joints with conservative therapies. In addition to prescription pain relievers and anti-inflammatories, Advanced Spine & Pain Specialists offers epidural steroid injections and joint injections to treat pain without surgery. Other available pain-relieving treatments include minimally invasive procedures like spinal cord stimulation to treat chronic back and neck pain and radiofrequency ablation to ease nerve-related pain. Dr. Chunduri customizes each treatment plan to individual needs and works closely with patients to reduce the need for surgery. The Advanced Spine & Pain Specialists staff offers compassionate care in a welcoming environment. They are specially trained to ensure patient comfort and relieve any anxieties about treatment. The office is fully equipped with sophisticated diagnostic technologies including X-rays to provide a fast and accurate diagnosis. Dr. Chunduri also uses advanced fluoroscopy to guide injections into precise locations in the joints or spine and maximize the benefits of treatment for each patient.
