When you suffer from acute or chronic pain, your entire body suffers. You may become inactive, gain weight, and experience depression or anxiety due to the pain. Interventional injections can help minimize pain, so you can return to living your life. Dr. Darin Bush at Mobility Spine And Sports in Fort Lauderdale, FL, offers comprehensive pain management services, including interventional injections.
What You Need To Know About Interventional Injections
Pain can be caused by joint, muscle, ligament, or tendon damage. Inflammation can begin, causing swelling, pressure, and more pain. Some of the reasons you may need interventional injections include:
- Having an inflammatory joint condition like arthritis
- Overusing the area while playing a sport or doing an activity
- Overusing the area by performing repetitive tasks
- Experiencing trauma from an accident or injury
When you visit your doctor, your doctor will begin treatment with:
- A comprehensive examination of your painful area
- Recording a complete medical history including injuries, medications, and painful symptoms
- Ordering diagnostic imaging including X-rays, CT scans, or MRI
- Ordering lab testing to determine if there are underlying medical issues causing your pain
Interventional injections often use X-rays to guide the injection, providing precise placement. Typically, a solution of cortisone and anesthetic is injected directly into the area. Pain relief is almost immediate.
Interventional injections can be repeated up to twice monthly within 6 months. Interventional injection treatment offers a non-surgical pain relief option that can provide months of effective pain relief. Don’t let acute chronic pain limit your enjoyment of life. Interventional injections can help you return to an active, enjoyable future, with less pain.
