Top Services At A Glance
Our Des Plaines physicians use state-of-the-art technology and evidence-based treatment approaches to diagnose, treat, and manage chronic and acute pain conditions.
Interventional Pain Management & Injection Therapy
Our board-certified specialists perform minimally invasive procedures that target the source of pain rather than masking it with medication.
Common treatments include:
- Epidural Steroid Injections to treat nerve inflammation, sciatica, and disc-related pain.
- Facet Joint Injections & Medial Branch Blocks for arthritis-related spine pain.
- Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) to deactivate pain-transmitting nerves for long-term improvement.
- Trigger Point Injections to reduce muscle knots and chronic tightness.
- Sympathetic & Peripheral Nerve Blocks for diagnostic clarity and therapeutic relief.
These procedures are performed using image-guided accuracy to improve safety and effectiveness.
Joint & Soft-Tissue Pain Treatment
Whether pain stems from aging, injury, or overuse, our joint-focused therapies help restore movement and reduce inflammation.
Options include:
- Hyaluronic Acid Injections for knee osteoarthritis and joint cushioning.
- Steroid Injections to calm inflamed joints or soft tissues.
- PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy to support healing at the cellular level.
- Bursa & Tendon Sheath Injections for shoulder, hip, and elbow pain.
These treatments are designed to help you return to daily activities with less stiffness and more stability.

- Movement and Biomechanical Assessments
Whether you’re a runner, cyclist, student athlete, or weekend sports enthusiast — we’ll help you recover safely and perform your best.
Neuromodulation & Advanced Nerve Therapies
For chronic nerve pain that hasn’t responded to conservative care, we offer leading-edge neuromodulation technologies:
- Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS): Blocks pain signals at the spinal cord level.
- Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) Stimulation: Targets highly localized nerve pain.
- Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS): Treats isolated nerve pain in arms, legs, hands, and feet.
These advanced therapies may be life-changing for patients with neuropathy, CRPS, or post-surgical pain syndromes.
Vein Care & Vascular Treatment at Our Des Plaines Clinic
In addition to comprehensive pain management, the MAPS Des Plaines location offers specialized care for patients experiencing vein-related discomfort or cosmetic concerns.
Our minimally invasive, in-office vein treatments are designed to restore healthy blood flow, ease symptoms, and help your legs look and feel better — often with little to no recovery time.
Vein Conditions We Treat
Our Des Plaines team evaluates and treats a variety of venous issues, including:
Varicose Veins: Bulging, twisted veins that may cause aching, heaviness, or swelling.
Spider Veins: Small blue, red, or purple surface veins commonly seen on the legs.
Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI): Poor circulation leading to swelling, itching, skin discoloration, or cramping.
Leg Heaviness or Fatigue from Vein Disease: A tired or achy feeling that often worsens throughout the day.
Restless Leg Symptoms Related to Venous Problems: An uncomfortable urge to move the legs, often linked to poor circulation or underlying vein disease.
Vein Treatments Offered at MAPS Des Plaines
Our vein specialists use advanced, minimally invasive procedures to treat the root cause of vein issues — safely and effectively. Available treatments include:
Sclerotherapy: A targeted injection therapy that closes small to medium veins, allowing the body to naturally absorb and fade them over time.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): RA heat-based procedure that seals malfunctioning veins, improving circulation and reducing pain or swelling.
Adhesive Ablation: A gentle, non-thermal technique that closes the diseased vein using a medical-grade adhesive. No heat, tumescent anesthesia, or stitches required.
Varithena: Tendonitis, carpal tunnel, or repetitive-strain conditions affecting daily activities.
