Basic pain management procedures are in demand, profitable and comparatively easy to perform, making them popular additions to many surgical facilities' offerings. If your facility is willing to take a step further, however, advanced methods for treating chronic pain are perhaps the specialty's best kept secret, even though the technology's been around for years. They're not 15-minute, inspect-and-inject procedures, but these services - radiofrequency nerve ablation, discography, percutaneous discectomy and spinal cord stimulator implantation - can provide relief for patients as well as volume for your pain physicians.
