Interventional Pain Management
Nerve Blocks & Ablation
Targeted nerve block injections and radiofrequency ablation to interrupt pain signals and provide lasting relief in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
Nerve blocks and radiofrequency ablation are advanced interventional pain management techniques that target specific nerves responsible for transmitting pain signals. These procedures can provide significant, long-lasting relief for patients with chronic spine and nerve-related pain.
A nerve block involves injecting a local anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication near specific nerves to block pain signals. Radiofrequency ablation (also called 'nerve burns') uses heat generated by radio waves to disable the nerves carrying pain signals, providing relief that can last 6–12 months or longer.
Dr. Burton performs these procedures using fluoroscopic guidance for maximum precision. They are performed in-office with minimal downtime, and most patients experience significant pain reduction within days of the procedure.
