Interventional Pain Management

Interventional pain management is a specialized branch of medicine focused on diagnosing and treating chronic pain through minimally invasive techniques. It often involves procedures that target specific sources of pain, aiming to reduce reliance on medications and improve overall functionality and quality of life. Here’s an overview:

Common Techniques in Interventional Pain Management

  • Epidural Steroid Injections: Used for conditions like herniated discs or spinal stenosis.
  • Facet Joint Injections: Target pain in the spine's facet joints.
  • Nerve Blocks: Temporarily interrupt pain signals from specific nerves.

Uses heat generated by radio waves to disrupt nerve signals and provide long-term pain relief.

Involves implanting a device that sends electrical impulses to the spinal cord to mask pain signals.

Delivers pain medication directly to the spinal fluid, requiring lower doses compared to oral medications.

Includes injections for knee, shoulder, and hip pain or more advanced procedures like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy.
