Frequently Asked Questions
What is interventional pain management?
Interventional pain management uses minimally invasive, image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat pain. These treatments target the source of pain directly and can help relieve conditions such as chronic back pain, sciatica and nerve pain.
When should I see a spine doctor for back pain?
If you have persistent back pain lasting several weeks, worsening symptoms, nerve pain, numbness or weakness, it may be time to see a spine doctor or back pain specialist for evaluation.
Can spine pain be treated without surgery?
Yes. Many spine conditions can be treated with non-surgical spine treatments, including injections, nerve blocks, and spinal cord stimulation. These procedures are designed to reduce inflammation and interrupt pain signals without the need for major surgery.
Why is interventional pain management important?
Interventional pain management plays a critical role in managing chronic and acute pain without the need for surgery or heavy reliance on long-term medication use. By targeting the source of pain with precise, image-guided procedures, this specialty helps patients regain mobility, reduce discomfort and improve their overall quality of life.
How do I know if I’m a candidate for interventional pain treatments?
If you are suffering from chronic pain that has not responded well to traditional treatments like medication or physical therapy, interventional pain management may be a suitable option. Our specialists will evaluate your condition and discuss treatment options that may work best for you.
What can I expect during a treatment session?
Most treatments are performed on an outpatient basis and take place in our state-of-the-art, comfortable facility. You can expect a consultation where your pain management specialist will review your medical history and imaging results before recommending the best course of action. Many procedures are quick, minimally invasive and have a quick recovery time.
