"I have going to Spinal Intervention for about 2 years now and love them. Jen has been amazing with all my concerns and questions and has never made me feel less than a person. The staff is willing to work with you, within reason, to make sure you are comfortable in the visit down to every procedure. I have been to several Pain Clinics over the past 30 years and I would recommend one of the two locations in Utah County to go to. They are one of the faster clinics to keep you on time and get you back when you are scheduled."

Dr. Tao Li works as a physiatry (physical medicine & rehabilitation) and interventional pain medicine specialist in Provo, UT.

"I've been seeing Dr. Li for about three years. There have been a few times when I was very upset with him. However, when I talked to him directly about the problems, he totally explained to me with empathy and compassion. When I began seeing Dr. Li, he was very cautious about prescribing medications for me because of my family history. I am a 'high risk' patient. I have had two brothers die of overdoses of heroin. But as I followed the limits Dr. Li set and was patient, I was able to build trust between him and me. However, I had to show him that I would only take the meds if I needed it. Sometimes, though something would happen and I had to start again to build that trust. I understand, though. Dr. Li has high standards in following the law! I respect and appreciate that!

What is Interventional Pain Medicine?

Interventional pain medicine is a specialty that is devoted to the management of pain through medical procedures, without the routine use of prescription medications. Usually practiced by anesthesiologists or pain medicine specialists, this subspecialty has had a marked increase in demand in recent years, as the illegal abuse of narcotic painkillers has become a nation-wide problem.

Interventional pain medicine physicians must be adept at diagnosing their patients. Until they can accurately pinpoint the source of the pain, it can be difficult to treat it effectively. In some cases, the pain has an obvious cause, such as the hurt experienced when healing after surgery or when dealing with some cancers. In other cases, there is no obvious problem causing the pain, and the pain itself is the issue. This can be the case with chronic lower back pain, migraines, neuropathies, and other disorders.

There are many treatment options that interventional pain medicine doctors might use to ease a patient's pain, ranging from non-invasive to minimally invasive. Some of these treatments are:

Physical therapy
Epidurals
Nerve blocks
Facet injections, which are injections of small amounts of anesthetic into the joints of the spine
Radiofrequency denervation, or the use of radio waves to stop painful nerves from firing
Spinal cord stimulation, or the use of electrical currents along the spine to interfere with the transmission of pain signals
Implanted intrathecal or epidural injection drug delivery systems

Reducing pain doesn't just help you feel better -- it allows you to become more active and increases your ability to heal. The goal of interventional pain medicine is to help people who are hurting to get back to working, playing, sleeping, and enjoying their life fully.
