Every new year brings fresh resolutions—exercise more, stay active, and feel better overall. But for many people living with chronic pain, those goals can feel out of reach. Persistent back, joint, or nerve pain often limits movement, disrupts sleep, and affects quality of life.

The good news? Surgery is no longer the only path to meaningful pain relief. Advances in non-surgical and regenerative medicine now allow many patients to move from intention to real, lasting results—without long recovery times or invasive procedures.

Why Chronic Pain Often Doesn’t Resolve on Its Own

Chronic pain is different from short-term soreness. It may persist due to:

Disc degeneration or disc injury

Joint wear and tear such as osteoarthritis

Nerve irritation or compression

Inflammation that never fully heals

Prior injuries that were never properly treated

Without addressing the root cause, pain can become ongoing—even when rest or medications provide temporary relief.

The Limitations of Traditional Pain Management

For years, chronic pain treatment relied heavily on medications, physical therapy alone, or surgery as a last resort. While these approaches may help some patients, they often fall short for others.

Common challenges include:

Temporary relief without long-term improvement

Dependence on pain medications

Lengthy surgical recovery times

Risk of complications or failed surgery

Today’s pain care focuses on precision, preservation, and restoration of function—not simply symptom control.

A Modern, Non-Surgical Approach to Pain Relief

At California Sports & Spine Institute, chronic pain treatment begins with an accurate diagnosis. Advanced imaging, nerve testing, and diagnostic injections allow Dr. Maxim Moradian to identify exactly where pain originates—whether from a disc, joint, nerve, or soft tissue structure.

Once the source is identified, personalized treatment plans are designed to:

Reduce inflammation

Promote healing

Restore mobility

Support long-term wellness

Non-Surgical Treatment Options Available at CSSI

Targeted Injection Therapies

Minimally invasive injections can provide both diagnostic insight and therapeutic relief. These include:

Epidural steroid injections

Facet and joint injections

Selective nerve blocks

These treatments reduce inflammation and help interrupt pain signals.

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

For patients with facet joint-related pain, RFA offers long-lasting relief by calming overactive pain nerves—often for months or longer—without surgery.

Regenerative Medicine

Regenerative therapies focus on healing rather than masking pain. Options include:

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections

Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC)

Adipose-derived and amniotic stem cell therapies

These treatments may help repair damaged tissue, improve joint health, and slow degenerative changes.

Discseel® Procedure

For patients with chronic disc-related back pain, CSSI offers the Discseel® Procedure, a non-surgical solution designed to seal painful disc tears and support natural disc healing. CSSI is the only provider in California offering this innovative procedure.

Turning Resolutions Into Real Results

Non-surgical pain care isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about sustainable improvement. Many patients experience:

Reduced pain levels

Improved range of motion

Better sleep and daily function

Increased ability to stay active

By treating pain at its source, patients are better equipped to follow through on health goals throughout the year.

Is Non-Surgical Pain Treatment Right for You?

If chronic pain has limited your lifestyle or kept you from achieving your goals, a specialist evaluation may help determine whether non-surgical options are appropriate. Many patients who believe surgery is their only choice are surprised to learn there are effective alternatives.

Start the Year with a Better Path Forward

This year, resolutions don’t have to end in frustration. With advanced diagnostics and personalized care, California Sports & Spine Institute helps patients move from chronic pain to lasting results—without surgery.
