INTERVENTIONAL PAIN MANAGEMENT IN GLENDALE, AZ

Chronic pain & Inflammation treatment for your back, neck, knees and joints

Canyon Pain and Wellness is your home for expert interventional pain management. Pain generally comes from the inflammation or irritation of nerve fibers that send pain signals to the brain. Pain management aims at minimizing pain and its adverse effects while allowing maximum patient quality of life.

Medications used in pain management may be injected directly into inflamed or injured tissues (intra-articular injections) or taken orally (pills). Professionals can also administer this medication intravenously, also known as our IV therapy in Glendale, AZ, which can be done at Canyon Pain and Wellness. Also, some medicines can help reduce swelling and control blood pressure during a procedure. An example is using a local anesthetic before inserting a needle. This anesthetic minimizes the discomfort and pain felt by the patient.

Canyon Pain and Wellness offers a variety of injection treatments for joint pain:

• Bursa injections: These injections target fluid-filled sacs near joints to reduce inflammation and pain.
• Genicular nerve blocks: Injections targeting nerves around the knee to numb pain.
• Steroid joint injections: Cortisone injections to reduce inflammation and pain in various joints.
• Sacral iliac joint injections: Injections targeting the joint between your lower spine and pelvis to treat lower back pain.
• Trigger point injections: These target tender spots in muscles that contribute to pain, aiming to inactivate them.

These are minimally invasive procedures that can offer pain relief for various conditions. It's important to consult with Canyon Pain and Wellness to determine the most appropriate treatment for your specific needs.

Interventional pain management techniques that employ epidural injections for treating lower back and leg pain are effective in randomized trials.

The affected body area is typically numbed with a local anesthetic before radiofrequency probes are inserted into or around the targeted tissue. The probes then emit energy that damages these tissues in order to stop them from sending pain signals to your brain.
