Interventional Pain Management Q & A
What is interventional pain management?
Interventional pain management is a term for treatments that actively address the causes and symptoms of chronic pain.
Pain Management of North Dallas, PA, uses techniques that reduce or eliminate pain when conservative options like physical therapy and medication have proven unsuccessful. They also restore function to damaged joints and tissues.
What conditions can interventional pain management treat?
These are just some of the causes of chronic pain that the team can treat:
Joint pain
Arthritis is a gradual deterioration of your joints, and it’s the leading cause of chronic joint pain. It takes numerous forms; the two most common are the wear-and-tear disorder osteoarthritis and the autoimmune disease rheumatoid arthritis.
Pain syndromes
Fibromyalgia, myofascial pain, and conditions like complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) cause intense and often widespread chronic pain.
Peripheral neuropathy
Neuropathy encompasses pain and other unpleasant sensations that can affect any part of your body outside the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system). Common examples include diabetic peripheral neuropathy, which affects the lower limbs in people with diabetes, and postherpetic neuralgia, a complication of shingles.
Back and neck pain
Conditions affecting the back and neck are very common. They include subluxations (spinal misalignments), herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease. In many cases, the worst of the pain is due to radiculopathy — the compression or damage of nerves in your spine as they exit the vertebrae.
What techniques are used in interventional pain management?
Pain Management of North Dallas, PA, uses a variety of interventional pain management techniques, including:
Nerve blocks
Nerve blocks target the clusters of nerves that are often the source of chronic pain. For example, a nerve block (injection of numbing medicine) into the sphenopalatine ganglion can relieve chronic headaches and migraines. A stellate ganglion nerve block can reduce arm pain caused by complex regional pain syndrome.
Steroid injections
Steroids are powerful medications that reduce inflammation and pain. The injections might also contain a local anesthetic to numb the pain for a short period. Your provider at Pain Management of North Dallas, PA, can inject steroids into the epidural space around your spine, the facet joints that link your vertebrae, and other damaged joints.
Radiofrequency ablation
Radiofrequency ablation creates heat in nerve tissue that’s transmitting chronic pain signals to your brain. The heat destroys the nerves, so they no longer send out pain messages.
For patients whose condition still doesn’t improve, spinal cord stimulation or peripheral nerve stimulation treatments might be necessary.
