Interventional Pain Management

Interventional pain management uses minimally invasive techniques to address the pain cycle. The priority for interventional medicine is to intervene on the pain cycle and block the pain from transmitting through the body by using a minimally invasive, targeted procedures at the root source of the pain. Interventional pain management is an ideal treatment for both acute and chronic pain and can be used to alleviate even the most complex sources of pain.

 

Common Methods

There are a few common methods that are used in interventional pain medicine. Injection therapy in particular is the most common and simplest form of interventional pain therapy. However, localized out-patient treatments, physical therapy, and energy-based treatments are also commonly used to target the source of pain and disrupt the transmission of the pain cycle. The type of method used for your pain management will depend on where your pain is located and the severity of your pain.

 

What Can Interventional Pain Medicine Help With?

Interventional pain management techniques can help with a broad spectrum of pain, including pain associated with injuries and fibromyalgia. However, at our clinic, most of our patients seek assistance with one of two types of pain: back pain or joint pain. Let’s break down the common sources and treatments for each of these pain locations.

​

Common Sources of Back Pain

Back pain is one of the most pervasive, complex, and difficult to treat sources of pain in the body. This is because the spine is one of the epicenters for nerves that interpret and transmit pain sensations in our body, and that means figuring out which nerve is causing the pain can be a challenge. The most common causes of back pain include:

• Degenerative disc disease

• Fractured vertebrae

• Herniated discs

• Arthritis

• Osteoporosis

• Skeletal irregularities

• Sciatica
