Interventional Pain Management
Interventional pain management focuses on identifying and treating the source of pain rather than relying solely on medication to manage symptoms.
Our pain management specialists evaluate your symptoms, medical history and previous treatments to determine which options may be appropriate for you.
Because every patient's experience with pain is different, treatment recommendations are personalized based on the location and cause of your pain, your overall health and your goals.
Why Choose Phelps Memorial for Pain Management?
Personalized Pain Management
There is no single treatment that works for every type of pain. Our specialists develop individualized treatment plans based on your symptoms, diagnosis, medical history and goals.
Focus on Function and Quality of Life
Pain management isn't only about reducing discomfort. Our goal is to help patients improve function, increase mobility and get back to the activities that are important to them.
Coordinated Care
Pain can sometimes involve multiple areas of healthcare. When appropriate, our pain management team can work alongside other Phelps Memorial services involved in your care, including spine specialists, orthopedic providers, physical therapists and diagnostic imaging professionals.
What to Expect at a Pain Management Appointment
Your first pain management appointment begins with understanding your symptoms and how pain is affecting your daily life.
Your provider may discuss:
- Where and when you experience pain
- How long you have been experiencing symptoms
- Previous injuries or medical conditions
- Treatments or medications you have already tried
- Activities that make your pain better or worse
- How pain affects your sleep, mobility and everyday activities
Additional testing or imaging may be recommended to help identify the source of your pain and determine the most appropriate treatment options.
Your provider will then work with you to develop an individualized plan for managing your pain.
