Introduction
Interventional pain procedures are an effective way to treat many conditions. These procedures can be done without surgery and often provide quicker relief than other treatments.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a painful condition that occurs when there is a buildup of pressure in the carpal tunnel, which is located on the palm side of your wrist. This can cause numbness, tingling and weakness in your fingers.
The endoscopic carpal tunnel release is performed by a surgeon through a small incision on the back of your hand. The surgeon inserts instruments through this incision to make an opening in your carpal ligament (the tissue that supports and stabilizes bones). Say’s Dr. Michael Poss,the surgeon then uses other tools to cut out any thickened or hardened tissue within the wrist joint cavity before closing up both sides of it again with sutures or staples — depending on what kind of procedure was performed — so they heal securely together over time without scarring too much tissue in between them
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition that affects the body’s soft tissues and muscles. The exact cause of fibromyalgia is unknown, but it can be associated with emotional or physical stressors such as trauma or illness.
Patients may have trouble sleeping, feel tired, have headaches and muscle aches throughout their bodies. They may also experience increased sensitivity to touch or sounds (allodynia).
Sports Injuries
Sports injuries are a common and serious problem. In fact, sports injuries are the most common reason for emergency room visits by children aged 5-14 years old. Interventional pain procedures can be used to treat many of these problems, including:
- Ankle sprains
- Achilles tendonitis (or insertional Achilles tendinopathy)
- Knee osteoarthritis
Sciatica
Sciatica is a common condition that can be caused by a herniated disk. If you’re experiencing sciatica, you may feel pain in your lower back and buttocks, as well as tingling or numbness in your legs. This pain can be treated with an interventional pain procedure, which involves inserting a needle into the affected area to relieve pressure on nerves and muscles.
Interventional pain procedures are an effective way to treat many conditions.
Interventional pain procedures are performed by a doctor, and they can be used to treat many conditions. Examples of interventional pain procedures include:
- Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) injections
- Fibromyalgia injections
Conclusion
Interventional pain procedures are an effective way to treat many conditions. They can be performed in a doctor’s office or hospital, usually with minimal recovery time and discomfort.
