Interventional Pain Management is a treatment approach for chronic pain that does not require surgery. It uses specialized needles and instruments to treat pain. These procedures are performed under the guidance of imaging technologies such as C-arm fluoroscopy or ultrasound scanners. Using these scanners allows us to precisely identify the source of pain and target the exact pain point. As a result, side effects are minimal, and the success rate is significantly higher because the treatment is highly accurate. Another advantage of interventional pain treatments is that they usually do not require hospital admission, are cost-effective, and involve minimal discomfort after the procedure. Patients typically do not require extended rest and can resume their routine activities soon afterward. Conditions We Treat Interventional pain treatments can help manage: Knee pain Lower back pain Shoulder pain Neck pain Hand and foot pain Cancer-related pain Fibromyalgia (muscle pain) Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) Neuropathic pain following Herpes (post-herpetic neuralgia) In fact, almost any type of chronic or persistent pain can be treated through interventional pain management techniques. If anyone in Nellore or the surrounding areas is suffering from chronic pain, cancer pain, or long-standing stubborn pain conditions, they can visit Apollo Specialty Hospital and make use of our Pain Management Services. Common Interventional Pain Procedures Some of the commonly performed procedures include: Epidural steroid injections for spine-related pain Selective nerve root injections Viscosupplementation for knee pain, where gel-like injections are administered to reduce knee joint degeneration Additionally, newer treatments such as Growth Factor Concentrate Therapy may help regenerate damaged knee cartilage and improve joint function. Patients suffering from back pain can often try these treatments before considering surgery and may achieve significant pain relief. Cancer Pain Management Until recently, there were limited specific treatment options for cancer-related pain. Generally, oncologists focus on treating the cancer itself, and patients are often prescribed pain medications in advanced stages. For patients suffering from cancer pain, we can provide excellent pain relief through: Opioid medications Neurolytic nerve blocks These treatments can significantly improve comfort and quality of life for cancer patients. ⸻ Dr. Rajmohan Reddy Interventional Pain Specialist Apollo Specialty Hospitals, Nellore
