Our physicians practice Interventional Pain Medicine which focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of pain by applying minimally invasive techniques that target structures mediating pain. The goal of Interventional Pain Medicine is to reduce or eliminate pain and to help patients quickly return to their daily activities without heavy reliance on medications.
Diagnostic procedures are performed to help determine the source or cause of pain. These procedures generally involve introducing a needle at the location of a nerve which supplies a painful area and are usually performed under x-ray guidance to precisely locate the position of the probe or needle.

Your physician must send a prescription stating exactly what injection they want done, your insurance information and any pre-authorizations/pre-certifications that are needed. The procedure will be done in our office under x-ray guidance. When completed, your follow up appointment should be made with the referring physician.
