Benefits of Interventional Pain Procedures
Manage Chronic Pain: Chronic pain is described as pain that lasts more than 12 weeks. It’s important to accurately diagnose the root cause of chronic pain so it can be effectively treated.
Treat Sports Injuries: It’s vital to rehabilitate the area that directly pertains to their sport and provide a treatment plan for the athlete.
Prevent Injuries: Interventional procedures focus not only on addressing existing symptoms but also developing programs to train and heal the body to prevent future injury.
