Pain
Management
There
is an intense level of public interest, research, and increasing
recognition of pain as a primary problem in and of itself. Historically
taught as an important symptom of disease, a new realization in
the medical community now identifies pain as the only real problem
for many patients. Pain often is the disease process, rather than
a mere symptom of an ongoing disease process. Within this area,
interventional pain management is the discipline of using minimally
invasive techniques to diagnose and treat pain.
Interventional
Pain Management is the use of precision, state of the
art techniques for percutaneous treatment of painful conditions.
These are effective needle and probe-using techniques which minimize
patient discomfort while avoiding many surgical and anesthetic risks
and expenses. Our approach maximizes efficiency and improves outcomes
while also providing valuable diagnostic information which can guide
and reinforce multidisciplinary efforts.
