When pain stops being temporary
Chronic pain isn't simply pain that lasts longer. It's a different condition with different causes — and it requires a different approach than the one that worked for an acute injury.
Our interventional pain management program is built for patients whose symptoms have persisted beyond what rest, physical therapy, and standard medications can resolve on their own. Most of our procedures are image-guided, performed in an outpatient setting, and designed to identify the specific structure generating your pain — then treat it precisely.
Conditions we treat
- Chronic low back and neck pain
- Sciatica and radicular leg or arm pain
- Spinal stenosis
- Facet joint and sacroiliac joint pain
- Post-surgical pain syndromes
- Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)
- Cancer pain and palliative pain management
- Failed back surgery syndrome
Treatments we offer
Most patients begin with the least invasive option that fits their diagnosis and escalate only when needed. Below are the core interventional procedures performed here.
Epidural Steroid Injections
Image-guided injection of anti-inflammatory medication into the epidural space to relieve nerve-root pain from herniated discs, stenosis, and radiculopathy.
Nerve Blocks
Targeted blocks (facet, medial branch, sympathetic, peripheral) used for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes — confirming the pain source and providing relief.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
Heat-based interruption of the small nerves transmitting pain signals from facet joints or sacroiliac joints. Relief commonly lasts 9–18 months.
Spinal Cord Stimulation
An implanted device that modulates pain signals before they reach the brain. A trial period precedes any permanent implant — you only proceed if it works for you.
Kyphoplasty & Vertebroplasty
Minimally invasive procedures to stabilize painful vertebral compression fractures, often performed under local anesthesia in an outpatient setting.
Trigger Point & Joint Injections
Focused injections for muscular pain, bursitis, and arthritic joint pain — frequently the first step in a stepped treatment plan.
What to expect
Your first visit is a consultation, not a procedure. We review your imaging, examine you, talk through what's worked and what hasn't, and explain the diagnostic and treatment options that fit your situation. If a procedure is recommended, you'll know in plain language: what it does, how it's performed, what the recovery looks like, and what the realistic outcome is.
Frequently asked questions
Will I need to stop my current medications?
It depends on the medication and the procedure. We'll review your full medication list at your consultation and give you specific instructions. Anticoagulants (blood thinners) sometimes require timed adjustment before an injection.
How long does a typical procedure take?
Most interventional procedures take 15–30 minutes in the procedure suite. Plan to be in the office 60–90 minutes total, including check-in, preparation, and a brief recovery period.
Is sedation included?
Most procedures use local anesthesia only. Mild sedation can be arranged when appropriate. If sedation is used, you'll need someone to drive you home.
How quickly will I feel relief?
This varies by procedure. Nerve blocks and trigger point injections can provide same-day relief. Steroid injections often take 3–7 days. Radiofrequency ablation usually peaks at 2–4 weeks.
Do you accept Medicare?
Yes. Triumph Ortho & Spine is a Medicare non-participating provider. You may be billed the limiting charge at the time of service; Medicare reimburses you directly. See our Insurance & Payment page for details.
