Frequently Asked Questions

What is interventional pain management?

Interventional pain management is different than most traditional treatment methods used today. Instead of an immediate recommendation for pain medication or surgery, interventional pain strategies emphasize the importance of a precise diagnosis, a comprehensive treatment program, and the use of pain-blocking strategies. At Gershon Pain Specialists, the team uses a variety of injections and other therapies to help you eliminate pain quickly. Since each patient’s treatment plan is customized, interventional pain management can help you achieve faster results that enable long-term healing.

Which interventional pain management techniques are used?

At Gershon Pain Specialists, your treatment begins with a comprehensive assessment of your symptoms, your health history, and your desired goals. Your treatment plan may include numerous therapies, including:

Epidurals: often used for low back pain; effective when other methods aren’t
Sacroiliac joint injections: for joint dysfunction or associated conditions
Hip, knee, or shoulder joint injections: to relieve pain and reduce inflammation
Viscosupplementation: lubricates joints and relieves pain from arthritis
Trigger point injections: relieves muscle knots and tension
Prolotherapy/proliferative therapy/non-surgical ligament and tendon reconstruction: a regenerative joint injection that stimulates healing to repair joints and connective tissue
Neural prolotherapy: treats painful and sensitive nerves

Combined with lifestyle strategies, dietary interventions, physical therapy, and other modalities, these techniques can help you recover from injury, heal from chronic conditions, and maintain your long-term health.
