Why Sports Medicine Physicians Are Adding Interventional Pain Procedures

Athletes and active patients increasingly seek comprehensive care that addresses both acute injuries and chronic pain conditions.

  • Comprehensive Athletic Care: Treat the full spectrum of sports injuries—from acute trauma to chronic overuse conditions—with interventional techniques that accelerate recovery and return to play.
  • Regenerative Medicine Integration: Combine PRP, ultrasound-guided injections, and other regenerative therapies with your sports medicine expertise for optimal patient outcomes.
  • Competitive Advantage: Athletes seek physicians who can provide immediate, in-office treatments rather than referrals, positioning your practice as a one-stop sports medicine destination.
  • Insurance Reimbursement: Pain management procedures are well-established with CPT codes and typically covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurers—adding revenue streams to your practice.
  • Diagnostic Precision: Add NCV/EMG testing to diagnose nerve injuries, entrapment syndromes, and radiculopathies common in athletes, improving treatment accuracy.
