Pain Management FAQ

What does pain management care usually cost?The cost of pain management varies widely based on what's included in your care plan and what your insurer covers.

Your provider will be transparent about what to expect from the beginning of care.
Are nerve blocks and epidural copyright injections the same thing?Both are interventional pain management procedures, but they serve distinct purposes. An epidural copyright injection delivers corticocopyright medication into the epidural space surrounding the spinal cord to treat radiating pain from disc injuries or stenosis. A nerve block targets a specific nerve or nerve cluster — using local anesthetic, copyright, or both — to block pain in a localized zone. Our team will identify which approach fits your condition based on where and how your pain presents.
Am I a good candidate for pain management if I've already had surgery?Yes, and actually, people who've had surgery are some of the most frequently seen pain management patients we see.
