Interventional Pain Management In Charlotte, Huntersville, NC & Fort Mill, SC

Coverage depends entirely on your individual plan, your benefits, and the specific procedure, so we cannot confirm or deny coverage without checking your plan directly. Provide your insurance information before your first visit and our team will complete a benefits check and review any expected costs with you in advance. Call (704) 542-3988 to get started, or review our payments and insurance information.

We treat musculoskeletal and spine conditions, including low back and neck pain, sciatica and radiculopathy, herniated discs, facet and sacroiliac joint pain, osteoarthritis of the knee, hip, and shoulder, bursitis, tendon injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, plantar fasciitis, peripheral neuropathy, and sports and occupational injuries. If your condition is outside our scope, we will tell you before you book.

Most patients can schedule directly with us without a referral from a primary care physician. Some insurance plans do require a referral or prior authorization before certain procedures. Call (704) 542-3988 and our team will check your plan requirements before your appointment.

Same-week appointments are usually available across all three offices. To book, we need your contact information, your insurance details if you are using insurance, and a preferred date and time. You can request an appointment online or call (704) 542-3988.

Yes. Continuity of care is a core part of how we practice. The physician who examines and diagnoses you is the physician who performs your procedure and manages your follow-up. Dr. Ahmad sees patients at all three offices. Dr. Ciaccia sees patients in Charlotte and Huntersville.

The large majority of our procedures are performed in our own offices using ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance. Because we are an independent practice and not owned by a hospital system, there is no separate facility fee added to your bill, wait times are shorter, and the setting is more comfortable than a hospital outpatient department.

Long-term opioid therapy is not our approach. We are a non-surgical, non-opioid practice. Our focus is identifying the anatomical source of your pain and treating it directly with targeted procedures, alongside exercise, activity modification, and rehabilitation.

For most peripheral joint injections a driver is not required. For spinal injections and regenerative procedures, we recommend arranging a driver. Our staff will confirm what your specific procedure requires when you schedule.

Radiofrequency ablation typically takes 30 to 45 minutes to perform. Most patients experience relief lasting six to eight months, and some report relief for up to a year. Candidacy is determined by whether you achieve significant relief from a diagnostic medial branch block first.

We accept major credit cards, cash, and CareCredit. For any question about costs specific to your situation, call (704) 542-3988 and our team will walk you through it.
