Restore your quality of life. Stop living with pain.
Interventional pain management uses pain-blocking techniques to help restore your quality of life. This method is used when pain interferes with your daily activities, and other treatment types have not been successful in reducing your pain. The goal of our doctors is to get you back to your normal activities as quickly as possible.

Treatments for Interventional Pain Management include
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
PRP therapy uses injections of a concentration of a patient’s own platelets to accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints. In this way, PRP injections use each individual patient’s own healing system to improve musculoskeletal problems.
Epidural Steroid Injections
Epidural steroid injections (ESIs) are a common treatment option for many forms of lower back pain and leg pain. The injection is named an epidural steroid injection because it involves injecting a local anesthetic and a steroid medication directly into the epidural space that surrounds the spinal cord and nerve roots.
Facet Joint Injections
This is a procedure where a local anesthetic agent (numbing medicine) is injected into your back: specifically, the small joints near the vertebrae near the spine.
Sacroiliac Joint Injections
A sacroiliac joint injection is used to diagnose or treat lower back pain that comes from your sacroiliac joint. This joint is the place where your spine connects to your pelvis. For the procedure, your healthcare provider injects medicine directly into the joint to ease pain.
Trigger Point Injections
TPI is a procedure used to treat painful areas of muscle that contain trigger points, or knots of muscle that form when muscles do not relax.
Medial Branch Block
This is a procedure in which an anesthetic is injected near small medial nerves connected to a specific facet joint. The procedure is primarily diagnostic, meaning that if the patient has the appropriate duration of pain relief after the medial branch nerve block, then he or she may be a candidate for a subsequent procedure like a radio frequency ablation (RFA).
Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA):
This surgical procedure serves nerve roots in the spinal cord effectively relieving chronic back pain and muscle spasms. Most people who benefit from ablations experience pain relief for six to nine months.
