Interventional medicine increasingly used in the treatment of chronic pain

Barrington, NH, November 26 — Interventional Spine Medicine (ISM), the pain management and relief experts in New England noted for using interventional medicine to relieve chronic and acute pain note that there are many new treatments for pain. Consequently, the specialty of pain management has grown steadily with the addition of new interventional medicine techniques.

Doctors are increasingly aware that many different factors contribute to pain and chronic pain treatment has taken on a multidisciplinary approach with specialties including anesthesiology, neurology, neurologic surgery, orthopedic surgery, as well as physical and psychiatric medicine. Research in the past three decades has revealed new treatments beyond the use of narcotics and opiates to reduce pain. In areas of spine medicine, these include central and peripheral nerve blocks, sympathetic and neurolytic blocks and intradiscal procedures.

Though spine medicine is a large portion of the types of interventional medicine used in the treatment of pain, the doctors at Interventional Spine Medicine are board certified pain specialists who are experts at bringing all the necessary approaches together to help relieve chronic pain.
