Chronic Pain Management in Kennewick, WA
Personalized Strategies for Long-Term Relief
Interventional Procedures
At Precision Interventional Pain Center, we treat muscular pain with precision and compassion. Our minimally invasive procedures are designed to fit your lifestyle and restore the physical freedom you need to feel like yourself again.
Common interventional procedures include:
-
Nerve Blocks: Injections that deliver anesthetic or anti-inflammatory agents near specific nerves to interrupt pain transmission.
-
Epidural Steroid Injections: Used primarily for spinal pain, these injections reduce inflammation around nerve roots.
-
Radiofrequency Ablation: A technique that uses heat generated by radio waves to destroy nerve fibers carrying pain signals.
-
Spinal Cord Stimulation: Implantation of a device that sends electrical impulses to the spinal cord, modifying pain perception.
These procedures are typically performed on an outpatient basis and are tailored to the individual's specific pain condition, aiming to improve function and quality of life.
Conservative Care
Conservative care refers to non-invasive strategies that focus on managing chronic pain through lifestyle modifications, physical therapy, and other supportive measures. The goal is to enhance the body's natural healing processes and improve overall well-being.
Key components include:
-
Physical Therapy: Customized exercise programs to strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and restore mobility.

By addressing both physical and emotional factors, conservative care aims to empower patients to take an active role in their pain management journey.
