Why Pain Management?
Interventional pain specialists are medical doctors who focus on diagnosing and treating chronic pain through minimally invasive procedures. These specialists use advanced techniques to target specific pain sources, providing effective relief and improving the quality of life for patients. This specialized field is particularly beneficial for patients who have not found sufficient relief through conventional treatments such as medications and physical therapy.

Pain Management Methods At Pain West
Nerve Blocks
Injecting anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medications around specific nerves to block pain signals from reaching the brain. This technique is often used for conditions such as sciatica, nerve entrapment, and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).
Epidural Steroid Injections
Administering corticosteroids directly into the epidural space of the spine to reduce inflammation and relieve pain caused by conditions like herniated discs and spinal stenosis.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
Using heat generated by radio waves to destroy nerve fibers that carry pain signals, providing long-term relief for conditions like facet joint pain and arthritis.
Medication Management
Careful prescription and monitoring of medications, including anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants, nerve pain medications, and when appropriate, controlled substances, with an emphasis on safety, efficacy, and long-term function.
Joint Injections
Injecting corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid into joints such as the knee, hip, or shoulder to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain from arthritis or other joint conditions.
Trigger Point Injections
Injecting local anesthetics or steroids into painful muscle areas known as trigger points to relieve myofascial pain syndrome.
