Minimally Invasive Pain Management
Often, primary care providers and specialty doctors will refer patients to our clinic to help address pain you’re experiencing. Our team of specialists develops a care plan while working closely with neurologists, neurosurgeons and other surgeons, family medicine providers, physical medicine and rehab, physical therapy, chiropractic, diagnostic medical imaging and clinical pharmacy.
Interventional Treatments
Our clinic specializes in minimally invasive treatment options to alleviate pain. These procedures include:
- Injections — including steroids — for joints, spine, muscles and trigger points
- Nerve blocks
- Neurolytic procedures
- Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for multiple areas experiencing chronic pain plus COOLIEF* radiofrequency for hips and knees

We have multiple pharmacy options for our patients.

- 24/7 Script Center Pharmacy Kiosk: Located inside the main hospital lobby, the kiosk dispenses medications for patients signed up for this service. Ask your Avera pharmacist or call 605-224-7334 if you have questions or want to transfer your prescriptions to the kiosk. After you’re set up, you’ll visit the kiosk, enter your information on screen, and then receive the dispensed medication. Scripts are loaded in the kiosk at 4 PM each day.
