Interventional Pain Procedures at Khetan Pain & Spine Clinic
At Khetan Pain & Spine Clinic, we understand that chronic pain can be debilitating and significantly impact your quality of life. Interventional pain procedures offer a minimally invasive approach to manage pain, often providing targeted relief and improved function.
Here’s an overview of some common interventional pain procedures we offer:
Injections
Lumbar Epidural Injections
Corticosteroid medication is injected into the epidural space around the spinal cord to reduce inflammation and pain in the lower back and legs.
Personalized Treatment Plans For Chronic Pain
Similar to lumbar epidurals, but target the thoracic spine for pain relief in the mid-back.
SI Joint Injections
Medication is injected into the sacroiliac joint, located in the lower back, to treat pain in the buttocks and legs.
Genicular Nerve Blocks
Anesthetic injections target the genicular nerves to alleviate knee pain.
Shoulder Injections and Nerve Blocks
Injections can address pain originating in the shoulder joint or surrounding nerves.
Knee Injections
Hyaluronic acid or corticosteroids can be injected into the knee joint to lubricate and reduce inflammation.
Fascia Blocks
Injections target specific fascial tissues, which are connective tissues throughout the body, to address pain in various areas.
Other Procedures
Radiofrequency Ablation
Radiofrequency waves are used to heat and deactivate specific nerves, providing longer-term pain relief.
Spinal Cord Stimulation
A small device implanted near the spinal cord delivers mild electrical pulses to disrupt pain signals reaching the brain.
Spinal Injections
Medications are injected directly into the spinal canal to manage pain originating in the spinal cord or nerve roots.
Benefits of Interventional Pain Procedures
Minimally Invasive: These procedures involve minimal incisions and recovery time compared to traditional surgery.
Targeted Relief: Procedures can target the specific source of your pain for more effective management.
Improved Function: Reduced pain can help you regain mobility and participate more actively in daily activities.
Outpatient or Short Stays: Many procedures can be performed on an outpatient basis or may require only a brief hospital stay.
