Interventional spine medicine utilizes minimally invasive procedures and special imaging technology to not only pinpoint the location of the pain, but treat it right at its source. In many cases, this allows the patient to go a more conservative route and avoid surgery altogether. Interventional pain management specialists provide a wide range of treatments including epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, spinal cord stimulation, facet joint injections, lumbar sympathetic plexus blocks, and trigger joint injections. All procedures are done on an outpatient basis.

Among his numerous accolades, Dr. Shamloo is the recipient of Patients’ Choice Award (2008, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014), Compassionate Doctor Recognition (2010, 2012, 2014), and On-Time Doctor Award (2014).
