Why Orthopedic Surgeons Are Adding Interventional Pain Procedures
Non-surgical pain management complements your surgical practice, offering patients a complete spectrum of musculoskeletal care.
- Complete Patient Care: Offer conservative treatments before surgery and manage post-operative pain, keeping patients within your practice throughout their care journey.
- Non-Surgical Revenue Stream: Joint injections, nerve blocks, and regenerative procedures generate substantial revenue for patients who don't require or aren't ready for surgery.
- Improved Surgical Outcomes: Pre-operative injections can help confirm diagnosis and predict surgical success, while post-operative pain management enhances recovery.
- Patient Retention: Patients who receive non-surgical options first are more likely to return for surgery when needed rather than seeking other providers.
- Diagnostic Enhancement: NCV/EMG testing helps differentiate between orthopedic and neurological conditions, improving surgical patient selection and outcomes.

Scope of Practice for Orthopedic Surgeons
Expanding your non-operative capabilities to complement surgical expertise.
Comprehensive Musculoskeletal Authority
As an orthopedic surgeon, you have extensive training in musculoskeletal anatomy and pathology. Adding interventional pain procedures to your practice allows you to offer patients a complete continuum of care—from conservative injections through surgical intervention—keeping them within your practice and improving overall outcomes.
Non-Surgical Revenue
Generate significant revenue from patients who aren't surgical candidates or prefer conservative treatment first.
Procedures You Can Add
- Joint injections (knee, shoulder, hip)
- Trigger point injections
- Peripheral nerve blocks
- PRP and regenerative injections
- Ultrasound-guided procedures
Diagnostic Enhancement
Add NCV/EMG diagnostic testing to differentiate orthopedic from neurological conditions, improving surgical patient selection and reducing unnecessary procedures.
Practice Integration
Integrate pain procedures seamlessly into your existing orthopedic workflow. Most surgeons begin offering new services within days of completing training.
Surgical Complement
Use diagnostic and therapeutic injections to confirm surgical indications, predict outcomes, and manage post-operative pain. Patients who receive pre-surgical injections often have better surgical outcomes and satisfaction scores.
Getting Started
Begin with joint injection training to expand your non-operative options, then add ultrasound guidance for improved accuracy. Advanced courses in regenerative medicine and NCV/EMG diagnostics further differentiate your practice.
