For Chandler patients living with chronic spine pain, facet joint disease, sciatica, or nerve-mediated arm and leg pain that has not responded adequately to physical therapy, chiropractic care, or oral medications, the next clinical step is interventional pain management — and the options available in Chandler itself are limited. City Health Services provides physician-guided interventional pain management for Chandler patients at our Mesa clinics, with our East Mesa Power Road location approximately 20 minutes from most Chandler neighborhoods via the US-60. Our pain management program includes fluoroscopy-guided epidural steroid injections, radiofrequency ablation, and targeted joint and trigger point injections — all performed as outpatient procedures with same-day discharge.

Interventional Pain Management Procedures for Chandler Patients

Epidural Steroid Injections

For Chandler patients with sciatica, herniated disc radiculopathy, or spinal stenosis producing leg or arm pain, a fluoroscopy-guided epidural steroid injection delivers corticosteroid and anesthetic directly to the inflamed nerve root — reducing the inflammatory cascade that oral NSAIDs cannot reach at meaningful concentrations. ESI is covered by Medicare and most commercial insurance when medically indicated. Most Chandler patients receive the procedure at our Power Road clinic and return to light activity the same day.

Radiofrequency Ablation

Chandler patients with chronic neck, mid-back, or low back pain driven by facet joint disease — the aching, stiffness-dominant, extension-provoked pain pattern that represents true facet-mediated spinal pain — may be candidates for radiofrequency ablation following positive diagnostic medial branch nerve blocks. RFA interrupts the nerve pathway transmitting pain from the affected facet joint, typically providing 9 to 18 months of meaningful relief. Sun Lakes residents and older Chandler patients with multilevel facet degeneration are among the most common RFA candidates we see from this area.

Joint and Trigger Point Injections

Targeted joint and trigger point injections for Chandler patients with knee osteoarthritis, shoulder bursitis, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, or myofascial pain syndromes provide fast-acting localized relief while creating the therapeutic window for physical rehabilitation to produce lasting structural improvement.

Coordination with Chiropractic and Physical Therapy

Interventional procedures are most effective when they are part of a broader treatment plan — not the entire treatment plan. At City Health Services, pain management procedures are coordinated with chiropractic and physical therapy at the same location, ensuring that the therapeutic window created by an injection is used productively rather than wasted on continued inactivity.
