Interventional Pain Management
Interventional pain management introduces patients to a new avenue for relieving painful symptoms- especially those associated with the spine.
If traditional methods of rehabilitation do not adequately resolve symptoms or are too painful, injection therapy may be a viable option.
Minimally invasive procedures offered at Northwest Pain Specialists make it possible for patients to resume an active lifestyle, engage in their own care, and strengthen their bodies.
