What are the advantages of interventional treatment for neck, shoulder, waist and leg pain

Interventional therapy is a relatively innovative treatment method. There are actually many advantages to using interventional therapy to treat neck, shoulder, waist and leg pain. Interventional therapy is simple, causes little trauma to patients, and can also reduce the need for medication.

Interventional treatment is an emerging treatment method between surgical and medical treatment, including intravascular intervention and non-vascular intervention. After more than 30 years of development, it has now become one of the three major pillar disciplines along with surgery and internal medicine.

Advantages of interventional treatment

The characteristics of interventional treatment are less trauma, simplicity, safety, effectiveness, fewer complications and significantly shortened hospitalization time.

1. For diseases that require medical treatment, the advantages of interventional treatment over medical treatment are:

The drug can act directly on the lesion site, which can not only greatly increase the drug concentration in the lesion site, but also greatly reduce the drug dosage and reduce the side effects of the drug.

2. For diseases that require surgical treatment, the advantages of interventional treatment over surgical treatment are:

1. It does not require surgery to expose the lesion. Generally, only a skin incision of a few millimeters is needed to complete the treatment, with little damage to the epidermis and a beautiful appearance.

2. Most patients only need local anesthesia rather than general anesthesia, which reduces the risk of anesthesia.

3. Small damage, fast recovery, satisfactory results, and little impact on the body's normal trachea.

4. For malignant tumors that are currently difficult to treat, interventional therapy can limit the drugs to the site of the lesion as much as possible, while reducing side effects on the body and other organs. Some tumors can be removed surgically after interventional treatment.
