Interventional Pain Care in Coral Gables

Chronic pain affects work, exercise and time with family, and the point of an interventional pain consultation is to find where the pain is actually coming from before deciding what to do about it. That work starts with your history, your examination and your imaging, and it often includes a diagnostic block — an injection placed at a specific nerve or joint to confirm the source before any longer-lasting treatment is considered. The practice sees patients at 401 S. Le Jeune Road, Suite 300, in Coral Gables, Monday through Friday from 8am to 4pm.

Dr. Tristan Steinberger, MD, is the practice's only physician. He is double board-certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology in anesthesiology and in pain medicine. He earned his medical degree at the University of Kansas School of Medicine, completed his anesthesia residency at the Sunrise GME Health Consortium in Las Vegas, and completed his Interventional Chronic Pain fellowship at the University of Vermont. He has performed thousands of interventional pain procedures. Because he is the only clinician here, the physician who evaluates you is the physician who performs your procedure and the physician who follows you afterwards.

The treatments offered here are the ones a fellowship-trained interventional pain physician performs: epidural injections, radiofrequency ablation and basivertebral nerve ablation for the spine; platelet-rich plasma (PRP), exosomes, shockwave therapy and cryotherapy; CGRP antagonists, sphenopalatine ganglion blocks and occipital nerve blocks for migraine and headache; and Sprint peripheral nerve stimulation. Not every patient needs a procedure, and part of the consultation is saying so when a different route — physical therapy, medication management or a surgical opinion — is the better answer for you.
