FAQ
Most Common Questions
Do you accept my insurance?
We accept most major commercial insurance plans, Medicare, workers’ compensation, and personal injury liens. Contact our office to verify your specific coverage.
Will I be put to sleep during a procedure?
Most interventional procedures are performed under local anesthesia. You will remain awake and go home the same day.
How long does a typical procedure take?
Most procedures take between 15 and 30 minutes depending on the type and complexity. You should plan for additional time for check-in, preparation, and a brief recovery period afterward.
Are these procedures safe?
Yes. Interventional pain procedures are generally very safe when performed by a board-certified physician.
What should I do to prepare for my procedure?
Preparation depends on the specific procedure. General guidelines often include avoiding blood thinners for a specified period, arranging a ride home if sedation is involved, and wearing comfortable clothing. Our team will provide instructions ahead of your appointment.
Can I return to work or normal activities after a procedure?
Most patients can resume light activities the same day. Your provider will give you specific recovery guidelines based on the procedure performed and your individual situation.
Are multiple injections necessary?
It depends on your condition, the type of procedure, and how you respond to treatment. Some patients experience significant relief after a single injection, while others benefit from a series of injections spaced over several weeks to achieve the best results.
Your provider will develop a personalized treatment plan based on your diagnosis and progress. The goal is always to use the fewest interventions necessary to provide meaningful, lasting relief. We reassess after each procedure and only recommend additional injections if they are clinically appropriate and likely to benefit you.
