What you will learn
Procedures, explained by the physician who performs them
Most patients know the name of the procedure on their schedule. Far fewer know why it was chosen, what it can realistically do, or what comes next if it helps only partly. This masterclass closes that gap.
Where procedures fit
How interventional pain medicine works alongside rehab, medication and lifestyle in a full plan.
Epidural steroid injections
What they treat, what the evidence shows, and what to expect afterward.
Facet blocks and radiofrequency ablation
Why a diagnostic block usually comes first, and how ablation works on a painful joint.
Vertebrogenic pain and Intracept
A newer explanation for some chronic low back pain, and the basivertebral nerve ablation procedure.
Nerve blocks, stimulation and joint injections
Options for pain outside the spine, from peripheral nerve blocks to peripheral nerve stimulation.
Regenerative medicine
PRP, bone marrow concentrate, stem cells and exosomes. What is supported and what is still marketing.
