Personalized Pain Management Designed Around the Source of your Symptoms
When pain becomes persistent, simply treating the symptoms is often not enough. Successful pain management begins with identifying the exact source of the pain and targeting it precisely.
Interventional pain management includes Injection Therapy and Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA), which can play an important role in diagnosing and treating chronic pain conditions affecting the spine, nerves, and joints.

What Is Interventional Pain Management?
Targeted Treatment For Pain & Inflammation
Interventional pain management involves minimally invasive procedures used to diagnose and treat chronic pain.
Injection Therapy involves delivering medication directly to the area responsible for pain or inflammation. Using image-guided techniques, medication can be placed with precision around affected nerves, joints, or spinal structures to help reduce inflammation and relieve symptoms.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) uses controlled heat generated by radiofrequency energy to interrupt pain signals from specific nerves responsible for chronic pain.
These treatments may be used as:
- A diagnostic tool to identify the source of pain
- A treatment option to reduce inflammation and discomfort
- Part of a broader pain management plan
- An alternative to surgery in selected cases
