    How does a fellowship-trained interventional pain physician differ from other providers that treat pain?

    A post graduate program (a fellowship) dedicated to pain medicine is a one year training program beyond the normal medical school and residency training, which most regular health care providers receive. This program trains physicians on minimally invasive procedures to treat pain. A pain fellowship program also educates a physician on how to properly manage pain medications. Pain physicians with this specialty training are also trained to focus on a comprehensive medical evaluation for each patient directed toward their specific symptoms to establish a better treatment plan. SIPC helps patients reduce pain and improve function with options other than medication and major surgery.

    What types of insurances does SIPC accept?

    SIPC participates with Medicare, Georgia Medicaid and most commercial insurance plans. For specific questions regarding your coverage, please contact us at (229) 226-2234.

    SIPC will directly bill your insurance(s). We also accept checks and most major credit cards.

    Where are the procedures performed?

    All procedures are performed in the surgical suite at our office.

    Do these procedures hurt?

    Most procedures are minimally invasive with only a needle entering the skin. Regional anesthetics or conscious sedation is available for procedures if needed.

    How long do most procedures take?

    While most procedures take less than 15 minutes, please plan on 1-2 hours for a procedure to include preparation time and recovery.

    When will I be able to return to work?

    In most cases, if you were able to work before the procedure, you will be able to return to work the day following your procedure.
