PAIN MANAGEMENT
At AVALA, our Interventional Pain Physicians offer minimally invasive treatments to help reduce pain, improve function, and increase quality of life. Most pain management procedures are provided at AVALA on an outpatient basis, meaning patients typically return home the same day as their procedure.
Patients are thoroughly evaluated and must complete diagnostic imaging to give the physician a clear picture of the nature and extent of the pain-causing condition. Individualized treatment plans are established for each patient.
