Interventional pain management is a specialized medical field focused on the diagnosis and treatment of chronic pain conditions using minimally invasive procedures. Unlike traditional pain management approaches that primarily rely on medication and physical therapy, interventional pain management techniques target the source of pain directly, often providing more targeted and long-lasting relief.
Interventional pain management procedures are performed by trained physicians, such as pain management specialists or anesthesiologists, who have expertise in using advanced imaging guidance, such as fluoroscopy or ultrasound, to precisely deliver treatments to the affected area.
