Why See an Interventional Pain Physician?

If you’ve been living with persistent pain that hasn’t responded to medications or traditional therapies, an interventional pain physician can help. Unlike general pain management, interventional pain medicine uses advanced techniques—such as image-guided injections and minimally invasive procedures—to target the root cause of your discomfort.

Patients typically seek interventional pain care for:

  • Chronic back or neck pain
  • Pain following surgery or injury
  • Sciatica or nerve pain
  • Degenerative spine conditions
  • Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)
  • Joint pain (shoulder, hip, knee)
  • Headaches or facial pain syndromes
  • Cancer-related pain

Conditions We Treat

Our Interventional Pain Management team can help treat a wide range of pain conditions, including:

  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Facet joint arthritis
  • Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction
  • Peripheral neuropathy
  • Post-laminectomy syndrome (failed back surgery)
  • Vertebral compression fractures
  • Myofascial pain syndrome
  • Migraines and chronic headaches
  • Phantom limb pain

We use treatments like:

  • Epidural steroid injections
  • Radiofrequency ablation
  • Nerve blocks
  • Spinal cord stimulation
  • Joint injections
  • Vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty
  • Botox for chronic migraine
  • Basivertebral nerve ablation
  • Minimally invasive lumbar decompression

Appointment Request

I love Dr. Ptacek and his staff. He is very helpful, professional, gives me all the options/information before I make a decision with him. I also like his laid back attitude, because it makes me feel so very comfortable. All of his staff are fantastic people as well. They all go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need, you are feeling better then before and follow up after any procedure. I’ve been to 1,000’s of doctors and he is in my top two. You should be so lucky 🍀 if you can get into him. Thank You for everything!🤗
