What to Expect from Your Injection Treatment
Head-to-Toe Care that Is Quick & Convenient
At Global Pain Management, we know that any new procedure can come with some hesitation, and our providers are here to put your mind at ease. After undergoing an initial consultation with one of our doctors to better understand your condition and pain management goals, we will schedule an appointment for your first injection.
Interventional injections are an effective, non-surgical treatment. They are often performed by applying a local anesthesia to the injection site, which means you will not need to be sedated. The treatment typically takes less than 20 minutes, and after a brief, 15 – 20-minute, recovery, our patients are able to get back to their lives—sometimes walking in and out in under an hour.
