Living with chronic pain can significantly diminish your quality of life, making even simple daily activities challenging. At our Pain Management Clinic located at 24345 Harper Avenue, St. Clair Shores, MI, we are committed to helping you find relief and regain control over your life. One of the effective approaches we offer is interventional pain procedures, aimed at identifying the root cause of your pain and providing targeted treatments to manage or alleviate your symptoms.
The Importance of Interventional Procedures
The primary focus of interventional pain treatment is to pinpoint the underlying cause of your symptoms and then utilize treatment options to manage or alleviate your pain, improve function, and enhance your quality of life. Unlike traditional pain management approaches that may rely solely on medication, interventional procedures target the source of the pain directly, offering more effective and lasting relief.
Precision with Ultrasound Guidance
At our clinic, almost all injections are performed using musculoskeletal ultrasound guidance of the needle. This precise approach offers several advantages, including:
Avoidance of Nerves: Ultrasound guidance helps in avoiding actual nerves during the injection process, minimizing the risk of nerve damage.
Avoidance of Blood Vessels: By visualizing blood vessels, ultrasound guidance helps prevent hematomas, ensuring safer injections.
Optimal Placement of Medication: Ultrasound allows for accurate placement of medication, leading to more effective treatment outcomes.
Types of Interventional Procedures We offer a range of interventional procedures to address various pain conditions, including:
Nerve Block Injections: Used to alleviate pain caused by inflammation of specific nerve roots, nerve block injections involve the injection of a local anesthetic with a steroid or herbal anti-inflammatory near the injured nerve.
Tendon Sheath Injections: These injections are recommended for painful, swollen, or stiff tissues around a tendon, aiming to reduce inflammation and improve movement.
Intra-articular Injections: Administered directly into the joint space to relieve joint pain, intra-articular injections are ideal for localized pain that hasn't responded to conservative treatments.
Knee Joint Fluid Therapy Injections: Approved for osteoarthritis of the knee, these injections restore cushioning and lubrication to the joint, providing relief for patients who haven't responded to other treatments.
Trigger Point Injections: Used for myofascial pain syndrome, trigger point injections help alleviate referred pain by targeting trigger points within the muscle tissue.
Botulinum Toxin Type A (Botox) Injections: Effective for conditions like dystonia, spasticity, and chronic migraine headaches, Botox injections offer temporary relief by causing weakness in injected muscles.
