Interventional Procedures
in Hapeville, GA

Living with chronic pain can feel overwhelming. We bring relief with image-guided interventional procedures in radiology and minimally invasive procedures. Using real-time x-rays, computed tomography, ultrasound and fluoroscopy, an interventional radiologist threads a catheter through blood vessels. You get precise pain treatment without large incisions.

We guide catheters with care. Thin needles access tissue for biopsies or drain fluid in an abscess. Angiography restores blood flow past blockages and clears blood clots in the inferior vena cava to improve circulation. Radiofrequency ablation eases nerve pain. Each step cuts risk. Recovery time is often hours, not weeks.

These interventional procedures preserve healthy tissue and protect blood supply to organs like the liver and kidneys. VeriSpine Joint Centers offers interventional procedures in radiology (IR) support at every stage. You can regain comfort and get back to life.

At VeriSpine Joint Centers, we understand that chronic pain is more than just an inconvenience—it takes away from your work, your family, and your quality of life. Our team of skilled interventional radiologists and pain management specialists use advanced interventional radiology (IR) procedures to offer you effective, long-lasting relief. By utilizing cutting-edge imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT), ultrasound, fluoroscopy, and x-rays, we are able to precisely target problem areas without the need for invasive surgery.

Our approach is minimally invasive, meaning less risk, less pain, and a much quicker recovery time for you. We perform these procedures using small, fine needles or catheters, which are guided directly to the affected area with exceptional precision. Whether it’s clearing a blockage in your blood vessels, managing chronic pain, or stabilizing a spinal fracture, we have the advanced tools to help you heal with less downtime.

Here are some of the advanced interventional procedures and pain management services we offer:

For those suffering from neck, mid-back, or lower back pain, our epidural injections deliver powerful anti-inflammatory medication directly to the inflamed area around your spine. This reduces swelling and helps manage pain in both acute and chronic conditions, such as herniated discs or degenerative spinal disorders.

If you experience chronic spine-related pain, our facet joint blocks target the small joints in your spine that can cause pain due to arthritis or injury. This procedure provides immediate pain relief by injecting medication directly into the affected joint, offering both diagnostic information and therapeutic benefit.

Our sacroiliac joint injections, performed with ultrasound guidance, precisely target the joint where the spine meets the pelvis. This is a highly effective method for treating sacroiliac joint dysfunction, which can be a common cause of lower back pain. Additionally, we offer injections to treat major joints like hips, knees, and shoulders, reducing pain and improving mobility.

For long-lasting relief from nerve-related pain, we use radiofrequency ablation (RFA). This minimally invasive procedure involves using heat generated by radiofrequency waves to interrupt pain signals in specific nerves, providing significant relief for patients suffering from conditions like degenerative disc disease or facet joint pain.

For individuals suffering from compression fractures in the spine, kyphoplasty and vertebral augmentation are highly effective treatments. These procedures use image guidance to insert a balloon into the fractured vertebra, which is then inflated to restore the vertebra to its normal height. Once the vertebra is in the proper position, medical-grade cement is injected to stabilize the fracture and prevent further damage.
