Pain Management Accident Injury Specialists

Pain Management Specialists

Interventional pain management is a specialty of pain management that concentrates on a variety of pain blocking procedures. These are typically in the form of injection therapies. Interventional pain management is different from other pain management practices, because depending on the results of their procedures, they want to rule in or rule out a specific diagnosis. So if the interventional pain procedure relieves the pain then the doctor rules in the diagnosis as accurate. On the other hand in the world of Interventional Medicine, if the procedure did not successfully relieve the pain then the diagnosis is considered as inaccurate.

Think of it this way. When you are receiving conservative care for the injuries you sustained in a motor vehicle collision, but you are not responding as well as your Chiropractor or Medical doctor originally thought you would, then typically they will refer you to have a pain management consultation and examination. The Interventional Pain Management doctor may start with trigger point injections to your muscles and then, if you respond, they confirm that your pain was coming from the trigger points in your muscles. If this does not relieve your pain then they look for other pain producing issues in the same area such as the facets or joints of your spine. They then would provide facet joint injections and are hopeful that this will resolve your pain. Once they find the procedure that resolves your pain they can then confirm, or if needs be, change your diagnosis.
Various pain management procedures may be required for treatment of the various traumas you endured as a result of your car crash. This series of procedures and your results actually supports medical necessity for further conservative care.
Recent studies have shown pain management often requires a multi-disciplinary approach that may include both medication and non-medication treatments and involve a team collaboration of health care providers.
