Interventional Pain Management is the discipline of medicine devoted to the
diagnosis and treatment of pain related disorders principally with the application of
interventional techniques in managing sub acute, chronic, persistent, and intractable
pain, independently or in conjunction with other modalities of treatment.
Interventional Pain Management Techniques
Interventional pain management techniques are minimally invasive procedures
including, percutaneous precision needle placement, with placement of drugs in
targeted areas or ablation of targeted nerves; and some surgical techniques
such as laser or endoscopic diskectomy, intrathecal infusion pumps and spinal
cord stimulators, for the diagnosis and management of chronic, persistent or
intractable pain

How Do We Manage Pain
We are are not only experts at treating pain but also at helping to diagnose the source of pain. We will
conduct a physical examination and review your medical records in addition to analyzing the description
of your pain. Sometimes supplemental diagnostic studies are helpful. More importantly, As an
interventional pain physicians we recognize the fact that precise cause of back pain is determined in
only 15% of the patients based on all x-rays, CT scans, myelograms, MRI's, EMG's, Nerve conduction
studies and history and physical examination.With help of modern technology, with precision diagnostic
techniques with injection of small doses of local anesthetic (numbing medicine) close to the nerves (pain
sources) or other structures under x-ray, we can determine cause of pain in at least 80% of the
patient's vs 15%
