Anxiety regarding injection procedures is not uncommon, especially when you don’t know what to expect. Most injections are very fast, and are for the most part, painless. You should discuss your anxiety with your physician when you are evaluated here. More than 98 percent of our patients do not need sedation and we discourage sedation in our pain practice. Your safety is our number one priority. It is important that we can directly communicate with you at all times during the procedure.
