Helping Patients Reclaim Their Healthy & Active Lives

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation & Non Invasive Interventional Spine Procedures

Dr. Pecherek (AKA Dr. Peaches) is a skilled Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation specialist (D.O.) and an NASS-accredited Interventional Spine Specialist, trained under Dr. Benny Bennoy at the Sports and Spine Center through Methodist Hospital. Dr. Pecherek is very comfortable with diagnosing, treating, and managing conditions that affect the musculoskeletal system (bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons) and the nervous system (nerves, brain, spinal cord). His goal is to improve a patient’s functional ability, mobility, and quality of life after injury or illness.

Non Surgical Treatments

Dr. Pecherek uses non-surgical methods to treat conditions related to pain, mobility, and functional impairments. They often manage rehabilitation programs for conditions like stroke, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, amputation, and arthritis. He is also well versed in Osteopathic Manipulation Treatments (OMT), used to help correct structural imbalances in your body, improve circulation and relieve pain.

CONDITIONS TREATED BY DR. PECHEREK

TREATMENTS OFFERED BY DR. PECHEREK

The DISCSEEL® Procedure is a minimally invasive treatment that uses fibrin to seal and regenerate damaged spinal discs, promoting healing and reducing pain from conditions like herniated or degenerated discs.

OMT is used to help correct structural imbalances in your body, improve circulation and relieve pain.

Ultrasound-guided injections for the following: Joints, Nerve blocks, Foot, Ankle, Knee, Hip, Lower Back, Hand, Wrist, Elbow, Shoulder, Neck, Spine

Discography is a diagnostic procedure used to determine if a spinal disc is the source of a patient’s back pain by injecting contrast dye into the disc and assessing pain response.

Facet joint injections are used to diagnose and treat pain originating from the facet joints — the small joints located between the vertebrae in the spine.

Intra-articular joint injections are used to relieve pain in arthritic or injured joints, such as the shoulder, hip, or knee, by injecting medication directly into the joint space.

Epidural steroid injections (ESIs) are a common treatment for reducing inflammation and relieving pain associated with conditions affecting the spine, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and sciatica.

This procedure delivers pain medication directly into the intrathecal space around the spinal cord via a surgically implanted pump.

IV infusion therapy is used to administer medications directly into the bloodstream to reduce inflammation, alleviate acute pain, or manage chronic pain flare-ups.

These procedures treat vertebral compression fractures, often due to osteoporosis, by stabilizing the fractured vertebra with bone cement.

Medial branch blocks are injections administered around the medial branch nerves, which transmit pain signals from the facet joints in the spine to the brain.

This is a minimally invasive procedure that removes small amounts of herniated or degenerated disc material to relieve nerve compression and reduce pain.

Peripheral nerve blocks are used to manage pain in a specific area of the body by blocking pain signals from a particular nerve or group of nerves.

PRP therapy promotes healing by injecting a concentrated solution of the patient’s own platelets into injured or degenerating tissues.

RFA is used to treat chronic pain, particularly from facet joint and sacroiliac joint dysfunction.

Sacroiliac joint injections are used to treat pain in the lower back, hips, and legs due to inflammation or dysfunction in the SI joints, which connect the lower spine to the pelvis.

SNRB is used to both diagnose and treat pain originating from a specific spinal nerve root, often in conditions like radiculopathy or sciatica.

SCS is a treatment for chronic pain that involves implanting a device that sends electrical impulses to the spinal cord to block pain signals from reaching the brain.

Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment designed to relieve pressure on the spinal discs and nerves, typically used for conditions such as herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, or sciatica.

Trigger point injections are used to relieve muscle pain and tightness caused by trigger points—knots or tight bands of muscle that can cause pain in surrounding areas (myofascial pain syndrome).

Dr. Aleksander Pecherek offers personalized pain management solutions that focus on addressing the root causes of pain with advanced, minimally invasive techniques like the DISCSEEL® Procedure. Through a combination of targeted therapies, rehabilitation, and natural healing approaches, he helps patients achieve lasting relief and restore function, allowing them to return to an active, pain-free lifestyle.

Dr. Pecherek works to improve function and quality of life for patients suffering from back and neck pain, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and other spine-related disorders. Through a combination of non-surgical interventions, such as epidural injections, facet joint injections, and nerve blocks, Dr. Pecherek helps patients manage pain, restore mobility, and avoid the need for invasive procedures whenever possible. Whether addressing acute injuries or chronic conditions, his goal is to optimize each patient’s physical health and restore their ability to lead an active, pain-free life.
