About
Marc J. Yland, MD, Interventional & Multidisciplinary Pain Management is a unique, multidisciplinary program that offers the diagnosis and treatment of chronic benign pain, as well as cancer related pain. The program’s comprehensive team of professionals includes anesthesiologists, psychologists and physical therapists along with consultants in neurology, neurosurgery, orthopedics, physical rehabilitation and oncology.
Depending on the specific type of pain, an individualized treatment program is developed and specific objectives are pursued to help patients achieve a more productive, comfortable lifestyle. Cost -effective treatments are coordinated closely with the referring professional, emphasizing restoration of function, patient education, and behavioral modification.
The majority of the procedures are performed on an outpatient basis.
Most procedures do not involve surgery and are performed as x-ray guided injections with local anesthesia and sedation. Each patient’s individual needs are taken into careful consideration before deciding upon a treatment plan.
Pain Management
Pain represents a tremendous amount of human suffering, with both physical disability, and emotional distress. Through pain management we are trying to bring you as much relief as possible, and assure your return to a functional quality of life.
Causes of Pain
One of the most common causes of pain is an inflammation due to tissue damage in a muscle, disc or joint. The pain can be experienced at a distance from the damaged area, as in the case of a nerve involvement (e.g.: sciatica caused by the inflammation of a herniated disc is felt in the leg). The area with tissue damage and inflammation is called the “pain generator”.
Our Center
Interventional pain management is a relatively new medical field using the latest treatment techniques and technologies. Traditionally, interventional pain management avoids the use of opioids for chronic pain. Also, we avoid using newly advertised treatments that have not proven to be effective and safe. We are the fully accredited by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities, Inc. (AAAASF)
Our primary approach is always initial assessment individualized for each patient. Patients and referring physicians are fully informed of our findings and of the proposed treatment plans, as well as of your progress and response to treatment.
Treatment Modalities
Our approach is to search and address individual “pain generators”. At times, complete pain elimination is not possible, but most patients can achieve some form of pain reduction.
Recent studies have shown that the results are better when early effective treatment is provided. Early treatment also reduces the risk of developing chronic pain.
Oral medications have to travel through the entire body, are often not effective, and may cause side effects. In interventional pain management, a non opioid medication is given by injection directly into the “pain generator” and is concentrated in one location. Consequently, injection therapy is more effective and has fewer side effects than oral medications. Often surgery can be avoided.
We strive to find a single treatment that has maximal longterm benefit, rather than repeating the same therapy for short term relief. In our office, local anesthesia, sedation, fluoroscopy, and x-ray are available, assuring your comfort and safety during procedures.
