Orthopedic Pain Management Interventional Pain Management Procedures

Orthopedic Pain Management

Our pain management specialists provide personal and compassionate care to patients suffering from spinal pain and orthopedic disabilities. Orthopedic Institute physicians provide comprehensive evaluation and pain management, including non-operative approaches to many common orthopedic and spinal conditions.

Patients with chronic pain are offered various modalities such as behavior modification in conjunction with lifestyle changes that are crucial in developing a successful treatment plan to treat or manage chronic pain. By utilizing this strategy patients can minimize their pain and maximize function to return to a life where daily activities are not limited by orthopedic or spinal problems.

Our pain management experts also offer interventional pain management therapies. Interventional pain management uses injections to reduce pain and can play a role in identifying the source of pain.

Interventional Pain Management Procedures

Epidural Steroid Injection
Facet Joint Injection
Sacroiliac Joint Injection
Join and Soft Tissue Injections

Epidural Steroid Injection

This is the most commonly done procedure to relieve pain. The injection delivers a powerful steroid solution directly into the spinal canal, which reduces the swelling and irritation around a nerve or part of the spinal cord. Most patients who receive epidural injections will experience less pain for a number of weeks or months, thus allowing them to participate in a rehabilitation program. When severe symptoms flare-up, epidural injections are usually repeated.

Facet Joint Injection

Linking the bones (vertebrae) of our spines to each other, facet joints are paired (one on the right and one on the left side of the spine) on each vertebra. Facet joint injections are used to help the doctor locate the source of back pain. Injecting medication directly into the facet joint also helps to relieve the source of the pain.

Sacroiliac Joint Injection

The tailbone (the sacrum) is located at the base of the spine. The sacrum is connected to the pelvis by the sacroiliac joint. It can become a source of lower back and buttocks pain. An injection into the sacroiliac joint can provide relief from pain.

Join and Soft Tissue Injections

During this procedure, the doctor injects a corticosteroid or pain reliever directly into the affected joint or muscle to provide relief. The relief can last for weeks or months, or longer. The injection also may be used to take away fluid that has built up in an inflamed joint.
