About
A holistic approach to spine care.
Dr. Pecherek — commonly known as Dr. Peaches — is a board-certified Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation specialist (D.O.) and an NASS-accredited Interventional Spine Specialist. He completed his training under Dr. Benny Bennoy at the Sports and Spine Center through Methodist Hospital.
What sets Dr. Pecherek apart is his unique level of empathy and understanding. Having personally undergone surgeries and dealt with chronic pain, he truly understands what his patients are going through — both physically and emotionally.
Dr. Pecherek specializes in minimally invasive treatments including Intradiscal Fibrin Injections, a groundbreaking approach that harnesses your body's natural healing abilities to repair damaged spinal discs. With locations in Florida and Illinois, he is committed to helping patients who have been told surgery is their only option find alternatives.
“If you've been enduring pain for years and have almost forgotten what it's like to live pain-free, please do not wait.”

Treatments
Non-surgical solutions for lasting relief.
A groundbreaking non-surgical treatment that uses your body's own healing proteins to repair damaged spinal discs, offering relief without invasive surgery.
Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injections deliver targeted anti-inflammatory medication directly to the nerve root sleeve to reduce pain and inflammation.
A diagnostic and therapeutic procedure that targets the medial branch nerves which carry pain signals from the facet joints.
Uses heat generated by radio waves to target specific nerves and temporarily turn off their ability to send pain signals.
Direct injection of medication into the facet joints of the spine to diagnose and treat pain originating from these small stabilizing joints.
Interlaminar Epidural Steroid Injections deliver medication to the epidural space to reduce inflammation and pain in the spinal region.
Targeted injections directly into the spinal disc to treat discogenic pain and promote healing of damaged disc tissue.
A diagnostic procedure that helps identify which spinal disc is causing pain by injecting contrast dye and assessing the patient's response.
An imaging procedure to evaluate the integrity of the disc annulus and identify tears or damage contributing to pain.
Platelet Rich Plasma therapy harnesses concentrated platelets from your own blood to accelerate healing of injured tissues.
Advanced regenerative treatments using cellular signaling molecules to promote tissue repair and reduce inflammation.
A temporary test period to evaluate whether spinal cord stimulation effectively reduces your chronic pain before permanent implantation.
Permanent placement of a device that delivers low-level electrical signals to the spinal cord to interrupt pain signals.
A minimally invasive procedure to treat vertebral compression fractures by restoring vertebral height and stabilizing the bone.
Targeted treatment for sacroiliac joint dysfunction, which can cause lower back, hip, and leg pain.
An injection targeting the S1 nerve root to diagnose and relieve pain radiating from this specific spinal nerve.
Treatment for tailbone pain (coccydynia) through targeted injection of medication to reduce inflammation and discomfort.
A specialized injection targeting the ganglion impar to treat chronic pelvic, perineal, and coccygeal pain.
Direct injection into the hip joint to reduce pain and inflammation from arthritis or other hip conditions.
Treatment for trochanteric bursitis and lateral hip pain through targeted injection of the greater trochanteric bursa.
Intra-articular injection to reduce knee pain and inflammation from arthritis, injury, or degenerative conditions.
Radiofrequency ablation of the genicular nerves to provide long-lasting relief from chronic knee pain.
Targeted injections to treat shoulder pain from rotator cuff injuries, bursitis, or arthritis.
Treatment for conditions like tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, and elbow joint pain through targeted injection therapy.
Precise injections for smaller joints including wrists, hands, ankles, and feet to reduce pain and inflammation.
Conditions
Finding the source of your pain.
When the soft inner core of a spinal disc pushes through the outer layer, pressing on nearby nerves.
When a spinal disc extends beyond its normal boundaries, potentially causing pressure on surrounding nerves.
Age-related wear and tear on spinal discs causing pain, instability, and reduced mobility.
Narrowing of the spinal canal that puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.
Pain radiating along the sciatic nerve from the lower back through the hip and down the leg.
Persistent pain in the back lasting longer than three months that affects daily activities.
Discomfort in the cervical spine region often caused by muscle strain, disc issues, or nerve compression.
Continued pain after spinal surgery that did not achieve the expected outcome.
Inflammation and stiffness of the joints, including the facet joints of the spine.
Pain affecting any joint in the body including hips, knees, shoulders, and smaller joints.
