Interventional Pain Management and Treatment Options for Arm Pain
Effective treatment for arm pain begins with identifying its underlying cause. At Greater Austin Pain Center, our approach to pain management combines a thorough physical examination and diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays or CT scans, with a detailed review of each patient's history and symptoms. From there, our pain specialists design a personalized treatment plan suited to that patient's specific condition and goals.
Depending on the root cause of arm pain, treatment options at GAPC may include:
For arm pain that originates in the cervical spine, epidural steroid injections may also be considered as part of a broader treatment plan. When nerve pain is traced to spinal nerve roots, interventional pain management options such as Epidural Injections can help relieve pain and reduce inflammation around the affected nerve.
Where appropriate, your care team may also recommend physical therapy to help restore strength and mobility, or coordinate referrals to other specialists. Medication management, including anti-inflammatory medications or muscle relaxants, may be incorporated as part of a comprehensive plan. GAPC does not provide physical therapy or chiropractic treatments directly, but can refer patients to those services when they are a clinically appropriate part of overall care.
Our San Marcos pain specialists are committed to using the latest minimally invasive therapies available in interventional pain management. For many patients, minimally invasive procedures and minimally invasive surgical procedures can effectively treat arm pain while reducing recovery time compared to traditional surgery. Our goal is to help patients return to their daily activities with reduced pain and improved function.
