In 2016, a study by the CDC showed that 20% of Americans, about 50 million people, suffer from chronic pain. That’s a big pain, but filling those prescriptions doesn’t have to be.
Interventional pain management and the use of an intrathecal pain pump can stop the spinal nerves from sending pain signals to the brain. Interventional management is the medical discipline of diagnosing or treatment pain-related disorders.
Besides the use of an intrathecal pain pump, interventional pain management treatments are injection-based. These injections are either made in-house at medical centers and hospitals or outsourced to sterile, compounding pharmacies.
We can be your source of pain relief.

Interventional Pain Management Treatments
Intrathecal pain management treatments are most commonly used for chronic and severe back pain but can reach the root of the problem in various ways.
-Epidural injections: anesthetic or steroid medication injected into the spine to relieve pain or diagnose conditions.
-Nerve, root, and medial branch blocks: injections used to determine the source of pain.
-Facet joint injections: provide pain relief; used to determine if facet joints are the source of pain.
-Pulsed Radiofrequency Neurotomy (PRFN): immobilize spinal nerves to prevent pain signals from being transmitted to the brain.
–Intrathecal pumps: a surgically implanted device that delivers medication to the spinal fluid
An intrathecal medication pump can lessen the pain associated with failed back surgery, cancer, or nerve pain. It can also reduce spasticity, or muscle rigidity, in patients with Cerebral Palsy, Multiple Sclerosis, stroke, brain injury, and spinal cord injury.
