Pain Conditions We Treat
Pain can affect nearly every part of daily life, including sleep, movement, work, and the ability to participate in normal activities. Our providers evaluate a variety of pain conditions, including:
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Sciatic pain
- Nerve pain
- Joint pain
- Chronic pain
- Spine-related pain
- Pain that continues after an injury or procedure
A proper evaluation is important because similar symptoms may have different underlying causes. Our team works to identify the likely source of pain before recommending treatment.
Interventional Pain Management Procedures
Interventional Pain Specialists offers image-guided and minimally invasive procedures that may help reduce pain, improve movement, and decrease reliance on medication for certain patients.
Treatment options may include:
Epidural Steroid Injections
Medication is delivered into the epidural space to help reduce inflammation around irritated spinal nerves. These injections may be considered for conditions involving disc problems, nerve irritation, or radiating pain.
Radiofrequency Ablation
A heat-based technique that interrupts pain signals from irritated spinal or knee joints, with results that can last well over a year.
Spinal Cord Stimulation
A small implanted device delivers mild electrical impulses that change how pain signals are transmitted to the brain. Spinal cord stimulation may be considered for selected patients with persistent neuropathic pain or pain following previous spine surgery.
Additional procedures may be available depending on the patient’s condition and the provider’s recommendation.
