Thanks to technological advances, there are now
more accurate ways to dispense injections of
medication for pain management. That means
patients experience faster recuperation,
decreased pain and increased mobility. In
addition, spine and para-spinal related pain
disorders no longer depend only on surgical
methods to aid a patients ability to heal
through painful episodes. Best of all, third
party payers that are responsible for costs
associated with serious spinal pain syndrome
embrace the options that are now available to
patients. Physicians are now gravitating to the
use of C-arm pain management technology for many
reasons.

• Diminished radiation exposure concerns
• Decreased amount of medication needed to treat
  patients
• The time needed per patient for prolotherapy
  injection treatments is reduced
• Injections are an early line of pain management
  defense and increase mobility
• Success rates increase since physicians can
  visualize specific needle placements more
  accurately and objectively when they are
  delivering steroids and other pain relief
  medications

• Physicians using C-arm technology are more
  confident in providing treatment options for
  patients who are long-time sufferers
• When a patient experiences almost immediate pain
  relief with prolotherapy injection under C-arm
  guided fluoroscopy, it relieves the pressure of
  moving forward with surgical intervention or more
  invasive procedures
• Injections can give patients an opportunity to
  potentially begin permanent healing

How Physicians Train for C-Arm Pain Management
Physicians working in the field of pain
management now train in fluoroscopy imaging and
related spinal anatomical study of the vertebral
column. They also must train in C-arm pain
management applications for preferred
fluoroscopic imaging. This includes practicing
with needle tip placement based on proven and
tested procedures. With todays responsive C-arm
software applications and software advances,
physicians can be brought to competency much more
quickly.
