The Role of Interventional Pain Management

Pain management is more than just medication. While medications can help manage symptoms, they often don’t address the root cause of pain. Interventional pain management focuses on targeted, minimally invasive treatments designed to provide longer-lasting relief.

What is Interventional Pain Management?

This approach involves procedures that directly target the source of pain, including:

  • Epidural Steroid Injections: Reduces inflammation around spinal nerves to relieve pain in the neck, back, and legs.
  • Radiofrequency Ablation: Uses heat to disrupt nerve signals and reduce pain.
  • Spinal Cord Stimulation: A small device that delivers mild electrical pulses to the spine, blocking pain signals to the brain.
  • Nerve Blocks: Injections that numb specific nerves to provide relief for chronic conditions like migraines or sciatica.

Why Consider Interventional Pain Management?

  • Minimally Invasive: Many procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, with little to no downtime.
  • Reduces the Need for Medication: Helps minimize reliance on opioids and other pain medications.
  • Targets the Root Cause: Unlike general pain relief, interventional procedures work at the source of pain.

If medication alone isn’t providing the relief you need, interventional pain management could be the next step. Schedule a consultation with our team to explore your options.
