Partnering to Prevent Pain
Interventional Pain Management providers partner with patients and referring providers to ensure the best possible outcome for patients in pain, whether it's an urgent epidural steroid injection or crafting a complex pain management treatment plan. We often collaborate with our spine surgeons to evaluate the effectiveness of conservative and interventional procedures to ensure our patients get the best care.
Providers can make referrals in Epic through the Pain Intervention Order if only a procedure is needed or Pain Management order if full care is the goal.
