Interventional Pain
Spinal nerve blocks, facet injections, and radiofrequency ablation.
What Is Interventional Pain Management?
Interventional pain management uses targeted, image-guided procedures to treat the specific source of pain, rather than relying on medication alone. Florida Orthopedic & Spine Institute offers spinal nerve blocks, facet joint injections, trigger-point injections, and radiofrequency ablation.
These treatments are typically used before surgery is considered, and can also help confirm the source of a patient's pain.
Who Is a Candidate?
Interventional pain treatment may be appropriate for patients with:
Facet joint pain
Nerve compression causing radiating pain
Muscle or trigger-point pain
Pain being evaluated before surgery is considered
A physician evaluation is required to confirm candidacy.
Targeted injections address the specific source of pain and can be used diagnostically, helping confirm the cause before more invasive treatment is considered.
Who It's For
Patients with back, neck, or joint pain from a specific, identifiable source
Patients considering surgery who want to try non-surgical options first
Patients seeking a diagnostic step to confirm the pain source
