Interventional Pain Management is a discipline of medicine devoted to the diagnosis and treatment of pain-related disorders through a multidisciplinary approach. The goals of interventional pain management are to reduce pain and to improve a patient's quality of life through minimally invasive techniques. Interventional pain management also strives to help patients return to their everyday activities quickly and without heavy reliance on medications.

One of the interventional techniques, Epidural Steroid Injections, deliver medication directly to the source of pain under the guidance of X-ray machines (Fluoroscopic Guidance) which facilitate the exact localization of the needle.

Clinical research has proven that epidural steroid injections are effective in the relief of sciatic pain, as well as an alternative to surgery and a way to avoid hospitalization.

Our center also offers other minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic pain management procedures for spine and peripheral joint pain.
