Pain Intervention

Interventional pain management is a method which utilizes pain blocking techniques to help make day-to-day activities less difficult, and effectively restore quality of life for patients. Surgery, electrostimulation, nerve blocks or implantable drug delivery systems may be used as part of the treatment process. 

Interventional pain management is generally used when pain is severe enough to interfere with daily activities, and other treatment types have not been successful in reducing pain. 

Interventional pain management procedures can be used in concert with medications, injections, therapy, and exercise. Helen will perform some procedures in office, however, other procedures that require outpatient operating theaters will be referred out to specialists.
