What is Interventional Pain Management?
Interventional pain management is a medical specialty that utilizes minimally invasive procedures to accurately diagnose and treat severe chronic pain. It employs targeted therapies like epidural steroid injections and nerve blocks to disrupt pain signals. This precise methodology delivers lasting physical relief while minimizing the need for invasive spine surgeries.

Stop letting debilitating nerve pain dictate your weekends and holidays. Metro Pain Centers provides advanced interventional procedures to permanently relieve chronic pain.
Epidural Steroid Injections
Stop letting severe lumbar radiculopathy keep you confined to your recliner. Dr. Anjali Patel administers targeted epidural steroid injections to dramatically reduce spinal nerve swelling, allowing you to walk freely without shooting leg pain. We inject a concentrated dose of Medical-Grade Corticosteroids. Corticosteroids rapidly decrease cellular inflammation. Decreased cellular inflammation relieves pressure on the compressed nerve root to restore your mobility.
Radiofrequency Ablation
If you suffer from chronic neck or back arthritis, standard medications often fall short. Dr. Rahul Sood performs radiofrequency ablation to effectively silence hyperactive nerves. We specifically target the medial branch nerves, tiny neural pathways that act like a ‘communication highway’ for your spinal facet joint pain. By using controlled thermal energy, we interrupt these signals, which essentially turns the nerve pathway into a blocked road that prevents pain from reaching your brain.
Regenerative & Sports Medicine (PRP)
Are you tired of being told surgery is your only option for a worn-out knee or shoulder? Dr. Alvin Micabalo utilizes Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy to naturally accelerate joint repair. Instead of relying on artificial joint lubrication, we target mesenchymal stem cells to accelerate deep tissue regeneration. We extract a small sample of your blood to isolate the PRP. The PRP releases potent growth factors. These growth factors stimulate cellular repair to rebuild damaged cartilage from the inside out.
Endoscopic Discectomy
When a herniated disc causes excruciating nerve compression, you need precise intervention. Dr. Sumeet Arora performs endoscopic discectomy to safely remove herniated disc material. This procedure targets the extruded nucleus pulposus, which means the jelly-like center of your spinal disc that has pushed outward and is pinching your spinal cord. Removing this material provides immediate relief from severe, radiating extremity pain.
Our Comprehensive Diagnostic and Treatment Process
We don’t guess when it comes to your nervous system. Our clinical process is designed to pinpoint the exact physiological origin of your discomfort.
- Comprehensive Clinical Evaluation: You meet with a board-certified pain specialist who extensively reviews your medical history, MRIs, and specific pain triggers.
- Precision Diagnostic Imaging: We perform diagnostic nerve blocks under fluoroscopic guidance to isolate the exact vertebrae or joint causing the issue.
- Targeted Interventional Procedure: Once the pain generator is identified, we execute a highly specific, minimally invasive procedure to neutralize the affected nerve or reduce local inflammation.
- Ongoing Rehabilitation & Optimization: We monitor your recovery closely, integrating targeted physical therapy to strengthen the surrounding musculature and ensure long-term stability.
