Interventional Pain Medicine Q&A

What is interventional pain medicine?

Interventional pain medicine includes a wide array of treatment options, rather than simply taking medications, to eliminate long-lasting pain. Dr. Shah and his team offer a personalized, multidisciplinary approach to treat:

Nerve pain
Post-surgery pain
Neck and back pain
Shoulder pain
Knee pain
Sacroiliac pain
Other types of chronic pain

You might experience long-lasting discomfort because of arthritis, another chronic disease, an automobile accident, a fall, or sports-related injuries.

Which interventional pain medicine treatment is right for me?

To find out what’s causing musculoskeletal discomfort, Dr. Shah reviews your medical history and symptoms. He completes a comprehensive physical examination and might recommend X-rays, blood tests, MRIs, CT scans, other imaging procedures, or nerve tests to diagnose your condition and the root cause of discomfort.

What are my interventional pain medicine options?

Some of the many interventional pain medicine services available at SamWell Institute for Pain Management include:

Injections

Anesthetic or steroid injections can diminish pain and inflammation, increasing your overall quality of life without surgery.

Nerve stimulation

Spinal cord stimulation, dorsal root ganglion stimulation, and peripheral nerve stimulation use a specialized device to deliver electrical impulses to targeted nerves and other tissues to block pain signals and relieve discomfort.

Minor surgical procedures

Dr. Shah might recommend a minor surgical procedure to implant a spacer in your spinal cord or complete minimally invasive spinal decompression to reduce nerve pressure and chronic discomfort.
