Interventional Spine Care

Interventional spine care is a specialized, minimally invasive approach to diagnosing and treating spine-related pain. It focuses on targeted procedures that directly address the source of your pain — without the need for major surgery. Interventional treatments aim to reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance your quality of life using the latest techniques and technology.

• Herniated or bulging discs
• Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
• Sciatica (nerve pain radiating down the leg)
• Degenerative disc disease
• Facet joint arthritis
• Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction
• Post-surgical spine pain (Failed Back Surgery Syndrome)
• Compression fractures
• Chronic neck, mid-back, or low back pain

• Relieve spinal and nerve pain
• Restore functional movement
• Delay or avoid the need for spine surgery
• Improve your ability to participate in physical therapy and daily activities
• Reduce the reliance on long-term opioid medications

• Your provider will review your medical history and imaging studies (MRI, X-rays, etc.).
• Discuss any allergies, medications (especially blood thinners), or chronic health conditions.
• You may need to fast for 4 hours if sedation is used.
• Arrange for someone to drive you home if sedation is planned.

• Most procedures are performed outpatient (you go home the same day).
• Local anesthesia is often used to numb the skin; light sedation may be offered for comfort.
• Fluoroscopy (live X-ray) or ultrasound guidance is used to ensure precision.
• Procedure times typically range from 15 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the treatment.

• You may experience mild soreness at the injection site.
• Pain relief can be immediate (with local anesthetic) or develop over days to weeks (with steroid or nerve treatments).
• You can resume light activities the next day unless otherwise instructed.
• Avoid strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours post-procedure.

• Your provider will review your response to the procedure and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
• Additional treatments, physical therapy, or regenerative medicine may be recommended to maximize long-term results.
