Interventional Pain Management

Overview

When your pain is well controlled, you are better able to be an active participant in all aspects of your life. Our healthcare team works closely with each patient to prevent and relieve pain and discomfort. Treatment begins with a thorough evaluation by a board-certified pain management specialist. Yale New Haven Health offers highly individualized inpatient and outpatient care to help people lead productive, enjoyable lives, free of the complications of chronic pain. Because each person perceives pain differently, patients are encouraged to be active partners in their care. Continued personal involvement is key to proper diagnosis and the most successful treatment and rehabilitation possible. Whether your pain is from surgery, illness, accident or another cause, our pain specialists employ a wide variety of therapies to provide relief for your specific condition. The medical team consists of board-certified pain management physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses and radiology technicians.
