What will you have without ASIPP
Who will replace ASIPP?
There are many societies out there, but in ILLINOIS, there is only one that truly advocates for you. That is the ILLINOIS Society of Interventional Pain Physicians. Without it, you will be left without a voice, and your patients may suffer. Nationally, without ASIPP, all of our practices
would be quite different.
What have you done for ASIPP?
Interventional Pain
Management
Interventional Pain Management is a discipline of medicine devoted to “diagnosis and treatment of pain-related disorders principally” with the “application of interventional techniques” in managing subacute, chronic, persistent, and intractable pain “independently or in conjunction with other modalities of treatment.” This is the NUCC definition 2002-2003.
Interventional Pain
Management Techniques
Interventional Pain Management Techniques are minimally invasive procedures including percutaneous precision needle placement with placement of drugs in targeted areas; ablation of targeted nerves in some surgical techniques, such as laser or endoscopic discectomy; intrathecal infusion pumps and spinal cord stimulators for the diagnosis and management of chronic, persistent, or intractable pain.
