Interventional Pain Medicine

The experts at Vantage Surgery Center are well versed in pain medicine and management, and are skilled in a variety of methods to help identify and treat the cause of pain. This is only a partial list of the type of injections and procedures that our doctors may use to diagnose and, ideally, treat chronic pain:

• Selective Spinal Nerve Block
• Facet Joint Intra-Articular Block
• Medial Branch Blocks
• Lumbar Provocation Discography
• Epidural Steroid Injections (cervical, thoracic, lumbar)
• Caudal Catheter Directed Epidural Steroid Injection
• Peripheral Nerve Block
• Lumbar Sympathetic Nerve Block
• Stellate Ganglion Block
• Ganglion Impar Block
• Radiofrequency Ablation
• Spinal Cord Stimulation Trials and Implants
• Replacement of Intrathecal Pumps
• Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

These procedures are performed using image-guided fluoroscopy under conscious sedation. Many of these methods are minimally invasive, and all are completely safe.

In the event these methods do not provide successful pain relief for the long term, advanced pain therapies may be suggested by your doctor. We will thoroughly discuss your options with you, and help you find the solution that you need.
