Pain Management

Maybe it is a constant ache in your lower back, a sharp pain in your neck or tingling that travels down your arms or legs. Not knowing what is causing it or what to do next can feel frustrating.

Many types of back, neck and nerve pain can be treated without surgery. Winona Health Pain Management focuses on helping you understand your symptoms and find relief.

Pain management focuses on identifying what is causing your pain and using targeted treatments to help you feel better.

At Winona Health, care is built around a thorough evaluation and advanced imaging to pinpoint the source of your discomfort. Whether the issue is coming from a nerve, joint or disc, your treatment plan is designed around your specific needs.

Our goal is simple. Help you feel better so you can get back to doing what you enjoy.

Back and neck pain rarely has a single cause, and it often does not require a single solution.

Many patients find meaningful relief through nonsurgical treatments that reduce inflammation, calm irritated nerves and improve movement. Starting here allows you to explore effective options before considering surgery.

If additional care is needed, you will be guided to the next step. Your care stays connected and focused on what is right for you.

Pain management may be right for you if you have:

• Back or neck pain that is not improving
• Pain that travels into your arms, legs or hips
• Tingling, numbness or nerve-related discomfort
• Pain that affects sleep, work or daily activities
• A known spine condition causing ongoing symptoms

Your care starts with a thorough evaluation to understand what is causing your pain. From there, your treatment plan may include:

We focus on the least invasive treatments that can provide lasting relief and improve your quality of life. If something is not working as expected, your plan can be adjusted. Finding relief is a process, and your care team will stay with you along the way.

His approach includes a range of options, from injections to more advanced therapies such as spinal cord stimulation and peripheral nerve stimulation. He has a special interest in treating low back pain, including cases that do not involve leg symptoms, where newer treatment options are helping patients find relief in new ways.

Whether your care involves a simple procedure or a more advanced treatment plan, Dr. Siegfried focuses on understanding what is causing your pain and creating a plan that fits your needs. He takes a thorough, personalized approach and stays involved throughout your care.

Education and communication are an important part of the process. Patients are supported every step of the way and leave with a clear understanding of their options and what comes next.

Part of your Spine Center care team

Pain management is often the first step in spine care.

If your condition requires additional evaluation, your care team works closely with neurosurgery to make sure you get the right care at the right time. You will not have to navigate that process on your own.
