Summary
Intervention is an invasive technique to treat pain which typically involves the precision placement of needles into a deep structure of the body to either treat or diagnose the cause of pain.

An interventional pain specialist comes from a background of board certification in anesthesiology, physiatry or neurology.

ABIPP diplomate examination and certification is a comprehensive 7 step process. More information can be found at American Society Of Interventional Pain Physicians.
