AbstractManagement of chronic pain is often difficult. Interventional approaches, such as joint injections and nerve blocks, can reduce dependence on opioid therapy, polypharmacy, and long-term costs; they can also dramatically improve pain control and function. However, interventional techniques must be used ethically and judiciously as part of a comprehensive approach to patient-centered care.
