Interventional Pain
Institute in Washington,
Pennsylvania, provides primarily
interventional pain management for chronic pain
syndromes (pain lasting greater than six [6]
weeks). We offer interventions which often treats pain rather
than providing a temporary medication solution. However, we
do provide medical management for those patients who would
benefit the most from medication therapy. Whether you're
experiencing spinal stenosis, chronic back or neck pain, diabetic
neuropathy, or cancer pain, you can count on our office to
provide effective pain relief solutions. Contact us today
for more details. Most insurances
are accepted. |

Mission
Statement: "Improving Your Quality of
Life" The Interventional Pain Institute's

interventional pain procedures and practices serving Washington
County and surrounding areas. |
