Interventional Pain Management

Interventional Pain Management 

Interventional pain management involves special procedures to treat and manage pain. “Interventional” procedures might include an injection of an anesthetic medicine or steroid around nerves, tendons, joints or muscles; spinal cord stimulation; insertion of a drug delivery system; or a procedure with radio-frequency ablation or cryoablation to stop a nerve from working for a long period of time.

These techniques may help patients:

1. Reduce the amount of time pain is experienced and its severity
2. Allow for an increase in activities at home and work
3. Overcome isolation
4. Learn new skills for coping with pain
5. Determine ways to end sleep problems
6. Improve the quality of life
7. Rehabilitate
