Now-a-days back and neck pain are the most common health problems, which continuously affecting work, sleep, and daily activities. According to Dr. Naveen, interventional spine care method provides a modern solution that goes beyond painkillers and rest. This approach focuses on diagnosing and treating the exact pain source using minimally invasive, image-guided procedures. “Instead of masking pain with medication, we identify where it starts and treat that area directly,” he explains.
Spine pain naturally develops due to physical or nerve-related issues. Some of the most common reasons contain:
- Deteriorating disc disease
- Herniated or slipped discs
- Facet joint arthritis
- Nerve compression leading to sciatica
- Spinal stenosis
- Sacroiliac joint disfunction
When physiotherapy and medication fail to deliver any ease for more than few weeks, than the new method called interventional spine care becomes a valuable next step. This treatment performed using fluoroscopy (live X-ray) or ultrasound, which ensure accuracy, safety, and better outcomes. The procedures are slightly aggressive and usually take 15–45 minutes, which allows patients to return home the same day.
A few commonly used interventions include:
- Epidural Steroid Injections – these injections reduce irritation, swelling, redness and nerve compression from disc issues or sciatica.
- Facet Joint Injections / Medial Branch Blocks – helps in identifying where and how much pain is in there and relieve arthritis-related spinal aching.
- Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) –this neutralizes pain-ringing nerves, which eventually helps in long-term relief.
- Sacroiliac Joint Injections –this is very useful for lower back and pelvic pain produced by SI joint irritation and inflammation.
Dr. Naveen state facts that these treatments need only a needle puncture, not an incision. Patients seen faster recovery, less interruption, and reduced need for strong pain-killers. Main benefits include:
- Slightly offensive, no large cuts or stitches
- Faster return to routine activities
- Targeted pain relief at the source
- Can delay or avoid spine surgery in many cases
The ideal candidates for interventional spine care are individuals who have had persistent back or neck pain for more than six weeks, have not improved with conservative treatment, and want to avoid long-term medication dependence or surgery.
For Dr. Naveen, success is measured not only by reduced pain, but by restored confidence and improved quality of life. “Our goal is to help patients return to their normal lifestyle—pain-free and active,” he says. By combining precision diagnostics with advanced treatment techniques, interventional spine care offers a practical, effective path to long-term relief.
