Interventional Pain Management Procedures

Interventional Pain Management Procedures are non-surgical, minimally invasive procedures using specialized pain injections or treatments. All procedures are performed under image guidance by using either ultrasound or live x-ray (fluoroscopy), which uses real-time images of the body to visualize and target specific sites. The goal of interventional pain management procedures is to relieve, reduce, and manage pain, as well as improve the patient’s quality of life. These techniques are specifically designed to diagnose and treat painful conditions in both the short- and long-term. Interventional pain management focuses on helping patients return to daily living while reducing reliance on pain medications.
