Everything You Need to Know, Your Pain Relief Guide

At Allevia Centers, we’ve reimagined the way pain is treated. We move past the traditional “wait and see” approach, using precision technology to target pain at its source. Here is everything you need to know about our modern interventional care.

The Basics of Better Relief

What exactly is Interventional Pain Management?

Think of it as the “GPS” of pain relief. Unlike traditional methods that rely on general medications, interventional care uses advanced imaging (like live X-ray or ultrasound) to deliver treatment directly to the “pain generator.” It’s about being precise, not just pervasive.

What does an Allevia Pain Specialist do differently?

Our specialists are “pain detectives.” We don’t just treat your symptoms; we use minimally invasive techniques—like radiofrequency ablation or spinal cord stimulation—to interrupt pain signals before they even reach your brain. We focus on outpatient procedures that get you back to your life the same day.

When is it time to see a specialist?

If your pain has become a “third wheel” in your daily life—stopping you from sleeping, working, or playing—it’s time. If conservative treatments like rest or basic physical therapy aren’t moving the needle, our advanced interventions can provide the breakthrough you need.

Advanced Treatments & Personalized Care

What kind of high-tech options do you offer?

We offer a curated suite of modern therapies, including:

Epidural & Facet Injections

To calm "angry" nerves in the spine.

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

Using gentle heat to "turn off" pain-transmitting nerves.

Regenerative Biologics

Using your own cells to help repair damaged joints.

Spinal Cord Stimulation:

A "pacemaker for pain" that replaces sharp aches with a soothing sensation.

General queries

We address everything from "Tech Neck" and posture-related strain to complex conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, spinal stenosis, and degenerative joint disease. If it limits your movement, we have a strategy to fix it.

We utilize the latest in medical innovation, including Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) to quiet overactive nerves, Spinal Cord Stimulation, and Regenerative Biologics (PRP). Our toolkit is designed to provide long-term relief using the most current FDA-approved protocols.

Absolutely. In fact, that is our specialty. Nearly all our procedures are performed through tiny incisions or simple injections under live imaging. This means less downtime, lower risk, and no hospital stay required.

Healing is a partnership. We often recommend "Movement as Medicine"—targeted stretches, ergonomic adjustments for your workspace, and anti-inflammatory nutrition—to ensure your results last long after you leave our clinic.

You aren't a diagnosis; you’re a person. We combine your medical history with Dynamic Diagnostics (watching your body move in real-time) to build a plan that fits your specific goals, whether that’s running a marathon or simply picking up your grandkids.

We’ve made it easy. You can [Book Online] through our 24/7 portal or call our Houston office directly. We offer rapid scheduling so you can start your recovery journey this week, not next month.

Yes. Living with pain is exhausting and can lead to "pain-brain" or burnout. We incorporate nervous-system calming techniques and clear education to reduce the stress and anxiety associated with chronic symptoms, treating the mind and body as one.

Surgery should be the last resort, not the first. By using precision-guided injections and regenerative therapies, we can often repair tissue and shut down pain pathways that previously required invasive operations. We give your body the tools to heal itself.

 

We bridge the gap between "pills" and "surgery." While other clinics may focus only on masking pain, we focus on functional restoration. We provide a boutique, high-tech experience where you spend more time with your specialist and less time in the waiting room.
