Recently-established procedures are investigated continuously. When they are proven to be effective in relieving pain, they are offered as part of our program.

All Evaluation and treatment is done at the Interventional Pain Center in Fort Walton Beach.
Our new state-of-the-art 7200 square foot treatment center was opened in April, 2006.

We maintain 2 fully equipped fluoroscopy suites. Heart rate and rhythm, respiratory rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and EKG are monitored throughout the procedures.
An intravenous catheter is routinely placed and supplemental oxygen is used when indicated.

Fluoroscopic guidance (x-ray visualization) is used to ensure correct needle placement. Appropriate flow of dye is documented before any medication is injected. This allows extreme accuracy and safety as opposed to blind injections.
