What Symptoms Are Treated With Interventional Pain Management?

Interventional pain management is one of our most popular practices here at Impact Medical! When our patients come in with chronic or severe pain and are looking to steer clear of pain medication for one reason or another, we find that Interventional Pain Management is one of the best routes we offer.

What is Interventional Pain Management?

Interventional Pain Management involves specialized procedures aimed at diagnosing and treating pain. While this approach is particularly useful for chronic pain conditions, it can be used to help with any pain symptoms. The reason Interventional Pain Management is so effective is because, unlike traditional pain medications, Interventional Pain Management targets the specific area of pain rather than a generalized pain treatment that can leave the whole body feeling relaxed and mind-altered. This approach is also minimally invasive which is another great reason our patients love these treatments.

Who Qualifies for Interventional Pain Management?

While IPM can work for almost everyone experiencing pain in the body, there are a number of specific cases where patients could benefit from Interventional Pain Management treatments. If you or a loved one has chronic pain issues, and have tried a number of treatments in the past only to be met with an unsuccessful outcome, Interventional Pain Management offers promising procedures that could help get you feeling back to your old self before the pain took over. Individuals who are avoiding pain medication, for any reason, usually gravitate towards IPM treatments as they are less invasive than surgery, and only target certain points in the body rather than leaving the whole body feeling numb or inebriated.

What Symptoms Are Treated with Interventional Pain Management?

While IPM can treat a countless number of symptoms and conditions, there are a few key symptoms that we recommend IPM for:

Chronic back & neck pain – Persistent pain in the lower back, mid-back, or neck, often radiating to other areas like the arms or legs, also known as sciatica.
Arthritis pain – Joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced range of motion, often in the knees, hips, shoulders, or hands.
Neuropathic pain – Burning, tingling, or shooting pain, often due to nerve damage from conditions like diabetes, shingles, or injuries.
Cancer pain – Pain due to tumors pressing on nerves or other structures, or pain resulting from cancer treatments.
Headache and migraines – Chronic, severe headaches or migraines that are unresponsive to medication.
