Interventional Pain Management

Selective nerve root blocks, epidural steroid injections and radiofrequency nerve ablation are non-operative solutions for pain management. This treatment is often administered together with medication or physical therapy. Physicians performing diagnostic and interventional pain management procedures use fluoroscopy or digital imaging for optimum accuracy. Often used in the treatment of degenerative disorders of the spine, interventional pain management is just one of the many advanced treatment services available at Piedmont.
