Pain Management at VIR Chicago involves a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating various pain conditions. Our goal is to enhance the quality of life for our patients through advanced, minimally invasive techniques. We specialize in addressing chronic pain caused by conditions such as arthritis, spinal issues, and nerve damage, providing personalized care to meet each patient’s unique needs.
Joint Injections
Joint Injections are a common treatment for pain relief in joints affected by arthritis, injury, or inflammation. These injections often contain corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and provide immediate pain relief. At VIR Chicago, our skilled practitioners use image guidance to ensure precise placement of the injection, maximizing its effectiveness and minimizing discomfort.
Nerve Blocks
Nerve Blocks are another critical component of our pain management services. These injections interrupt pain signals traveling along specific nerves, providing relief from chronic pain conditions like sciatica, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), and post-surgical pain. By targeting the source of pain directly, nerve blocks can significantly improve function and quality of life.
Nerve Ablations
Nerve Ablations are used to provide longer-term relief by disrupting the nerves causing pain. This procedure involves using heat or cold to create a lesion on the nerve, preventing it from sending pain signals to the brain. VIR Chicago employs the latest technology in nerve ablation to ensure precise and effective treatment, helping patients achieve sustained pain relief.
