What is it?
Interventional pain management uses precise, image-guided procedures to calm the exact nerve, joint or disc causing your pain. It sits between pain pills, which only mask symptoms, and surgery, which should be the last step.

Our treatments
Your physician will recommend the right option after an exam and, when needed, in-office imaging. Many patients combine a procedure with physical therapy for longer-lasting results.
Jump to a treatment
Calms the inflamed spinal nerves behind sciatica and pain that radiates into the arm or leg. Using live X-ray guidance, your physician places an anti-inflammatory medicine and numbing agent around the irritated nerve root.
Treats
Sciatica, herniated or bulging discs, spinal stenosis
Takes
15–30 minutes
Downtime
Most people resume normal activity the next day
Targets the small joints along the back of the spine, a common source of pain that gets worse when you twist or lean back. Medial branch blocks also confirm whether a longer-lasting treatment like radiofrequency ablation will help.
Treats
Facet joint arthritis, back or neck pain with stiffness
Takes
15–30 minutes
Downtime
Usually back to normal activity the next day
Uses gentle radiofrequency heat to quiet the small nerves carrying pain signals from an arthritic joint. When a block has helped, RFA can extend that relief for many months.
Treats
Chronic facet, SI joint or knee arthritis pain
Takes
30–60 minutes
Downtime
Mild soreness for a few days
Delivers anti-inflammatory medicine into the sacroiliac joint, where the spine meets the pelvis. It relieves low back and buttock pain that can mimic sciatica.

15–20 minutes
Downtime
Most people return to activity the next day
Adds a lubricating gel (hyaluronic acid) to an arthritic knee to cushion the joint and ease stiffness. Often given as one injection or a short series.

It’s a medical specialty that uses precise, image-guided procedures — like injections, nerve blocks and radiofrequency ablation — to relieve pain at its source, without surgery.
These are well-established, minimally invasive procedures performed with imaging guidance. Your physician will review your health history and explain the benefits and risks of any treatment before you decide.
The skin is numbed first, and most patients describe pressure more than pain. Most procedures take between a few minutes and an hour.
It depends on the treatment and the cause of your pain. Some patients feel relief within days that lasts for months, and some treatments can be repeated. Your physician will explain what to expect.
Some treatments work in one visit, while others — like knee gel injections or a block followed by radiofrequency ablation — are done in steps. Your plan is built around your diagnosis.
Many procedures are covered by most major plans. We check your benefits for free before your visit. We do not participate in Medicaid plans.
That’s what your first visit is for. We’ll find the source and explain your options.
