Minimally Invasive Procedures

Advanced Options for Lasting Pain Relief

When medication, therapy or injections aren't providing enough relief, a minimally invasive procedure may offer another option—without the need for major surgery.

At River Trail Pain & Wellness, Dr. Suzanne Abou-Diab specializes in interventional pain medicine and offers advanced procedures designed to target specific sources of pain, reduce symptoms and help patients regain function.

What Is a Minimally Invasive Pain Management Procedure?

Interventional pain management uses specialized techniques to treat pain at or near its source. Unlike traditional surgery, many of these procedures can be performed through a needle, small incision or other minimally invasive approach.

Depending on the condition, treatment may target a painful joint, nerve or another structure contributing to a patient's symptoms.

The right procedure depends on the source of your pain, your previous treatments and your individual health and goals.

  • Radiofrequency ablation
