pain management

"The main doctor at the office is Dr Adlatka which is a shame because Dr Parameswar by far is a better doctor he has manners and listens and appears to have a general concern for your well being but all of this is lost when you see Dr Adlatka which has no concern for you just your money I had to ruptured disks in my lower back and he told me that I don't need medicine, rehabilitation, or surgery no what I needed was three very expensive and extremely painful injections in my spine and the third one wasn't even done in the right location he put it in my neck causing a bulging disk in my neck now I have double the pain I had when I started going to see them and he then told me that it wasn't his fault I told him that it was a problem with my neck all along if I was able to prove my situation I would sue!"

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.
