Chronic Pain Care Through Interventional Pain Management
Say goodbye to chronic pain! If you’ve tried everything and still feel like nothing works, it’s time to take the next step and explore advanced interventional pain management.
Chronic pain is a widespread issue impacting many individuals globally and can greatly impact their quality of life. Traditional treatments, including medication and physical therapy, do not always yield the desired outcomes. Advanced interventional pain management offers an alternative solution.
Momentum Medical is dedicated to utilizing advanced interventional pain management techniques that aim to target and alleviate the source of your discomfort. Our team of experts employs state-of-the-art technology to provide customized treatment options that cater to your unique requirements.
Experiencing chronic pain can be debilitating, but there are effective solutions to alleviate the symptoms. Interventional pain management treatments are a minimally invasive option that targets specific areas of pain within the body. At this point, we will explore common types of interventional pain management treatments.
Epidural steroid injections are a widely used treatment for conditions like back pain and sciatica that cause discomfort in the spine. This procedure involves the injection of a steroid medication into the epidural space, which is the area around the spinal cord.
Facet joint injections are used to treat pain in the spine caused by arthritis or injury. This treatment involves injecting a local anesthetic and steroid medication into the facet joint, which is the joint between two vertebrae in the spine. The injection reduces inflammation and provides pain relief in the affected area.
It is a treatment for chronic pain in the neck, back, and joints. This treatment involves using radio waves to heat up and destroy nerve tissue in the affected area, which reduces pain signals to the brain. This treatment has the potential to offer pain relief for an extended period of time, ranging from one year or even longer.
Spinal cord stimulation is also an effective treatment for chronic pain. This procedure involves the implantation of a small device under the skin which sends electrical impulses to the spinal cord. These impulses intercept pain signals before they reach the brain, thereby alleviating pain. Spinal cord stimulation is commonly used to treat chronic back pain, nerve pain, and complex regional pain syndrome.
Trigger point injections are used to treat muscle pain and tension caused by injury or overuse. This treatment involves injecting a local anesthetic and steroid medication into the trigger point, which is the area of muscle that is causing pain. The injection relaxes the muscle and reduces pain in the affected area.
Interventional pain management is a distinct field that uses minimally invasive techniques to diagnose and treat pain, while pain management refers to the broader range of approaches used to manage and relieve pain, including medication, physical therapy, and alternative therapies like acupuncture and massage.
Interventional pain management procedures, such as nerve blocks, epidural injections, and spinal cord stimulation, are used to pinpoint and treat the root cause of pain, rather than just managing symptoms. This specialized approach is particularly effective for chronic pain conditions such as nerve pain, complex regional pain syndrome, and chronic back pain.
Interventional pain management is a type of medical treatment that involves the use of minimally invasive procedures to alleviate chronic pain. The goal of interventional pain management is to identify and treat the source of the pain, rather than simply masking the symptoms with medication. The procedures involved in interventional pain management can be performed in an outpatient setting and have a lower risk of complications compared to traditional surgery.
One of the most commonly used interventional pain management techniques is nerve blocks. Nerve blocks involve injecting a local anesthetic or steroid medication into a nerve or group of nerves that are causing the pain. This can provide immediate relief and allow the patient to participate in physical therapy or other activities that may have been previously impossible due to pain.
Another interventional pain management technique is spinal cord stimulation. This involves implanting a small device under the skin that sends electrical impulses to the spinal cord, which can disrupt the pain signals and provide relief. Spinal cord stimulation is typically used for patients who have not responded to other treatments and can significantly improve their quality of life.
Radiofrequency ablation is another interventional pain management technique that involves using heat to destroy nerve fibers that are causing pain. This procedure can provide long-lasting relief and is often used for patients with chronic back pain or joint pain.
In addition to these procedures, interventional pain management also includes physical therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and other non-invasive treatments that can help manage chronic pain. The use of interventional pain management techniques can help reduce the need for opioids, which can be addictive and have serious side effects.
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure that uses heat to destroy the nerves that transmit pain signals to the brain. Recent studies have shown that RFA is effective in reducing pain in patients with chronic lower back pain, neck pain, and knee osteoarthritis.
Nerve blocks involve the injection of a local anesthetic into specific nerves that transmit pain signals to the brain. Recent research has shown that nerve blocks are effective in relieving pain associated with complex regional pain syndrome, neuropathic pain, and cancer pain.
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the implantation of electrodes in the spinal cord. These electrodes deliver electrical impulses to the nerves that transmit pain signals to the brain, thereby reducing pain. Recent advancements in SCS technology have led to the development of high-frequency SCS, which has been shown to be more effective in reducing pain than traditional SCS.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy involves the injection of concentrated platelets from the patient’s own blood into the affected area. These platelets contain growth factors that promote healing and reduce inflammation, thereby reducing pain. Recent studies have shown that PRP therapy is effective in treating chronic tendonitis, osteoarthritis, and other chronic pain conditions.
Stem cell therapy involves the injection of stem cells into the affected area. These stem cells differentiate into various cell types, including those that promote healing and reduce inflammation, thereby reducing pain. Latest research have demonstrated that stem cell therapy is beneficial in treating chronic back pain, knee osteoarthritis, and other types of chronic pain.
