Procedures 
Open MRI injections are the most accurate and safe means of delivering medicines to targeted areas of the body. Deep tissue injections near the spine and nerves play a critical role in modern diagnosis and treatment. They provide an irreplaceable means for the doctor to reach inside the body without surgery.
The power of MRI allows surgeon to navigate among the soft tissues and nerves instead of only relying on the closest boney structures as required when traditional X-ray fluoroscopic guidance is used.
For most physicians, the use of traditional X-ray fluoroscopy for deep injections remains the imaging solution of choice. However, with the 2-dimensional images from X-ray guidance, the patient can experience great pain when the physician is forced to use the needle to "explore" along bone surfaces to find a target. In addition, the harmful X-ray radiation dose mounts rapidly, second by second. In some X-ray fluoroscopic procedures, the patient recieves a dose of X-rays as high as 500 times the amount in a chest X-ray and a thousand times the amount in a dental X-ray.
Dr. Aaron Filler pioneered the use of Open MRI Guidance to help reduce the pain and radiation exposure eliminate harmful X-ray radiation in these procedures. This means more accuracy, less discomfort, no cancer-causing radiation, and faster recovery for most patients.

Dr. Aaron Filler is the world’s leading expert in treatment of nerve pain. He has revolutionized nerve-pain treatment by inventing several new technologies. One such technology, MR Neurography, enables doctors to use an MRI scanner to examine nerves — previously a difficult-to-impossible tissue to see through MR imaging. Dr. Filler's research in axonal transport is leading to a whole new generation of advanced pain medications. He has developed many new “minimal access” surgery methods that allow him to treat complex nerve problems with small outpatient surgeries. He has also pioneered the use of the Open MRI scanner to do surgeries and other therapies with the ultra-high precision and safety of the magnetic resonance imaging. 
Do You Really Need Back Surgery? by Dr. Aaron G. Filler, MD PhD, is a best-selling paperback every sufferer of spine and nerve pain should read. Written in everyday language, the book is a must-read.
