Pain Management

The Baton Rouge, Louisiana personal injury lawyers at Murphy Law Firm understand that after an accident a pain management specialist may be needed depending on the severity of your injuries and the amount of pain experienced from those injuries. Below is some information on pain management specialists that may be helpful if you are in extreme pain as a result of an accident.

What is Interventional Pain Management?

According to the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians (ASIPP, interventional pain management is a "discipline of medicine devoted to the diagnosis and treatment of pain related disorders." "Interventional" refers to substances or other materials that are injected or placed into the body. Procedures might include an injection of an anesthetic medicine or steroid around nerves, tendons, joints or muscles; spinal cord stimulation; insertion of a drug delivery system; or a procedure with radio-frequency ablation (removal of tissue) or cryoablation (cold energy to remove tissue) to stop a nerve from working for a long period of time.

The goals of interventional pain management are to relieve, reduce, or manage pain and improve a patient's overall quality of life through simple invasive techniques specifically designed to diagnose and treat painful conditions. Interventional pain management is primarily to help patients return to their everyday activities quickly and without relying on medications.

Common Pain Problems

  • Arthritis
  • Back, neck and shoulder pain
  • Cancer
  • Post surgery pain
  • Nerve pain
  • Migraine headaches
  • Trauma
  • Shingles

Back Pain and Interventional Pain Management Treatments for back pain sufferers, interventional pain management techniques can be particularly useful. There are a wide range of treatments that can be used including the following:

  • Epidural injections (in all areas of the spine) - the use of anesthetic and steroid medications injected into the epidural space to relieve pain or diagnose a specific condition.
  • Nerve, root, and medial branch blocks - injections done to determine if a specific spinal nerve root is the source of pain. Blocks also can be used to reduce inflammation and pain.
  • Facet joint injections - an injection used to determine if the facet joints are the source of pain. These injections can also provide pain relief.
  • Discography - an "inside" look into the discs to determine if they are the source of a patient's pain. This procedure involves the use of a dye that is injected into a disc and then examined using x-ray or CT Scan.
  • Pulsed Radiofrequency Neurotomy (PRFN) - a minimally invasive procedure that disables spinal nerves and prevents them from transmitting pain signals to the brain.
  • Rhizotomy - a procedure in which pain signals are "turned off" through the use of heated electrodes that are applied to specific nerves that carry pain signals to the brain.
  • Spinal cord stimulation - the use of electrical impulses that are used to block pain from being perceived in the brain.
  • Intrathecal pumps - a surgically implanted pump that delivers pain medications to the precise location in the spine where the pain is located.
  • Percutaneous Discectomy/Nucleoplasty - a procedure in which tissue is removed from the disc in order to decompress and relieve pressure.

To help improve these procedures other treatments such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, and lifestyle modification (such as exercise, and diet) are often included.
