"WARNING!!! DO NOT GO TO THIS DOCTOR!!! HE IS THE WORST PROVIDER I HAVE EVER SEEN. I have been treated for chronic pain for years. I went to this Dr because my doctor in Washington could no longer treat me. This doc treats patients who are on opiod medications to treat pain as addicts. I have talked to several other patients who have all said the same thing. He is insulting, demeaning, and arrogant. If you do see him don't tell him that medication is the only thing that helps your pain, you won't like his response. As far as treating your pain he will tell you that pain is all in your head , medication does not control pain, and you control your pain with your mind. Then he will try to sell you a book. This Dr has ZERO compassion, does not listen to the patient, talks over you, and goes out of his way to make patients on opiod medication feel like degenerate addicts. "

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.
