Muscle Pain
Dr. Esparza’s practice in Albuquerque, NM diagnoses and treats conditions of the musculoskeletal system.
Spine Injection
Spine Injection is used to calm inflammation and reduce pain so that you can take part in a rehabilitation program.
PRP-Injection
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a powerhouse of healing and growth factors that comes from your own blood.
Nerve Stimulation- Spinal Cord Stimulator Trials
In spinal cord or peripheral stimulation, you’ll receive a temporary trail device or electrodes that send a gentle electrical current to disrupt pain signals. If the trial eases your pain, we can refer you to a doctor who can permanently implant a small device or electrodes under your skin.
