Living with pain, whether acute or chronic, can drastically affect your quality of life. At EmergeOrtho-Triangle Region, we offer a comprehensive approach to pain management designed to help you regain your functional ability and enhance your well-being. Our pain management clinics are equipped with state-of-the-art technology and staffed by board-certified, fellowship-trained physicians who are experts in Interventional Pain Management.
What Is Interventional Pain Management?
Interventional Pain Management is a subspecialty focusing on a wide range of pain-blocking techniques, particularly when other conservative treatment methods have failed. Our pain management doctors employ advanced technology and techniques to diagnose and treat various pain-producing conditions and injuries accurately. This approach ensures targeted, effective pain relief, allowing patients to return to daily activities with minimal discomfort.
Personalized and Comprehensive Pain Management
At EmergeOrtho, we believe in a personalized approach to pain management. Our experienced chronic pain specialists establish proper pain control protocols tailored to each patient’s needs. This customized care ensures that each treatment plan addresses the root cause of the pain rather than masking symptoms.
Techniques and Treatments
At our pain medicine clinics, our Interventional Pain Management specialists utilize a variety of advanced techniques to provide relief and improve function, including:
- Ultrasound-Guided Injections: These precise injections deliver medication directly to the affected joint, tendon sheath, nerve, or muscle, reducing inflammation and persistent pain.
- Fluoroscopically Guided Steroid Injections: These injections are used for peripheral joints (shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, ankle, foot) and relieve inflammation in the targeted area.
- Joint Viscosupplementation Injections: This treatment involves injecting lubricating fluid into the joint to improve mobility and reduce pain, particularly in conditions like osteoarthritis.
- Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections: These regenerative therapies utilize the body’s natural healing processes to repair damaged tissues and reduce pain.
- Trigger Point Injections: These injections relieve pain in specific muscle areas causing discomfort.
- Spine Injections: These treatments target pain originating from the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine, including facet joint steroid injections, medial branch nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, and epidural steroid injections.
- Nerve Blocks: These injections block nerve pain signals, significantly relieving chronic pain conditions.
- Spinal Cord Stimulator Trials: Spinal cord stimulation treatment involves implanting a device that sends electrical impulses to the spinal cord, blocking pain signals before they reach the brain.
- Prolotherapy and Neural Prolotherapy stimulate the body’s healing processes to repair and strengthen injured and painful tissues.
Conditions Treated

- Chronic Pain: We offer nonopioid pain management options for chronic conditions such as back pain, neck pain, and joint pain.
