Block Pain at the Source: Nerve Interventions That Offer Relief

Living with chronic pain after a serious injury can make daily life feel overwhelming. But modern pain interventions give people hope — even when other treatments haven’t worked. At McCarron Law Firm, we believe you deserve compensation and a life without constant pain. One powerful category of treatment is nerve-based pain interventions.

What Are Nerve Pain Interventions?

These treatments target the nerves responsible for sending pain signals to the brain. Disrupting or calming these signals can reduce or even eliminate pain in specific areas of the body — especially the back, neck, or spine.

Here are several approaches that may help, depending on the type and source of your pain:

Spinal and Peripheral Nerve Blocks

These injections deliver anesthetic or anti-inflammatory medication near specific nerves. According to the American Society of Anesthesiologists, this method can provide fast, targeted relief and is often used for both acute and chronic pain.

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) & Intercept Procedure

RFA uses heat generated by radio waves to disable pain-transmitting nerves. A variation called the Intercept Procedure explicitly targets the basivertebral nerve, which research in the Journal of Pain links to chronic lower back pain in certain patients.

Spinal Cord Stimulator Implants

These implanted devices send mild electrical signals to the spinal cord, “scrambling” pain messages before they reach the brain. The American Association of Neurological Surgeons notes this can help people avoid or delay surgery.

Intrathecal Pain Pumps

An intrathecal pump delivers pain-relief medication directly to the spine, often allowing patients to use far lower doses than oral medications. It can be effective for long-term pain control and is frequently used for severe, unmanageable pain.
