Injection Therapies for Pain Relief in Washington

Experience effective, non-surgical pain relief with our advanced Injection Therapies. At our pain management center, we target the source of your pain to help you move freely and help go about your day!

About Our Non-Surgical Pain Management Injection Therapies

At WaPASS, Injection Therapy is a set of modern, non-surgical treatment methods that delivers targeted medication directly to the source of pain. These minimally invasive injections help treat chronic, acute, and inflammatory pain by blocking pain signals, promoting healing, and improving mobility, all without the need for surgery. Unlike oral medications that affect the whole body, injection therapies focus precisely on the problem area, providing faster, more effective relief with fewer side effects. This minimally invasive approach is perfect for patients looking for long-term pain relief without the risks and lengthy recovery associated with surgery.

Our Specialized Injection Procedures

We offer a range of minimally invasive pain treatment, image-guided injection therapies designed to precisely target the source of pain and inflammation. Each procedure is performed with expert care to your specific condition to ensure optimal relief and faster recovery without the risks of surgery.

Medial Branch Blocks (MBBs)

At our clinic, we perform Medial Branch Block injections as one of our many injection therapies for pain management to help diagnose and treat facet joint-related back pain. This procedure involves injecting a local anesthetic near the medial branch nerves to interrupt pain signals. If pain relief is experienced, this confirms the source and can guide further treatment, such as radiofrequency ablation. It’s a key diagnostic and therapeutic step in our comprehensive pain management plans.

Facet Joint Injections

Our facet joint injections provide direct pain relief for patients suffering from spinal arthritis or chronic back and neck pain. We inject a mixture of corticosteroid and anesthetic into the affected facet joints located between each vertebra to reduce inflammation and restore mobility. This outpatient procedure offers immediate relief and supports long-term pain control when part of a targeted Injection Therapies for pain approach.

Epidural Steroid Injection (ESI)

Our Epidural Steroid Injections are highly effective for relieving nerve root inflammation caused by conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or sciatica. Using fluoroscopic guidance, we deliver powerful anti-inflammatory medication into the epidural space around the spinal cord. This helps reduce swelling, relieve pressure, and ease radiating pain in the back and legs helping patients return to daily activities faster.

Musculoskeletal Injections

We specialize in musculoskeletal injections for conditions involving tendons, muscles, and ligaments. Whether it’s tendonitis, joint inflammation, or post-injury pain, we offer precise delivery of corticosteroids or regenerative agents (like platelet-rich plasma) directly to the problem area. These injections reduce inflammation, accelerate healing, and are often part of an active rehabilitation approach.

Sacroiliac Joint Steroid Injection

For patients experiencing lower back pain linked to sacroiliac joint dysfunction, we provide sacroiliac joint steroid injections. This treatment delivers anti-inflammatory medication directly into the SI joint to reduce pain and improve function. Ideal for patients with pain worsened by standing, walking, or transitioning from sitting to standing, this procedure is a cornerstone of our non-surgical back pain solutions.

Patient Testimonials

I have been going to Bellevue Surgery Center for the past few years for procedures for chronic pain with Dr Malmalbaum and staff they are wonderful caring people.

Judy L

I have Dr. Mambalam as my doctor and he is the best most professional physician that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He is amazing! I have read what some others have written about him, but, I'm sorry, I went thru at least 6 other doctors before I got the chance to get in with Dr. Mambalam, he is the only one that took the time to listen and set up a treatment that made my life improve by leaps and bounds!!!! It's about treatments and medications that work together! I have gotten my life back without the pain I was living thru!!!!! I have referred others to him and they can't thank me enough for the referral. Absolutely the best care, and doctors I have met in a long time, they listen, they are friendly, very professional, and really care about you as a patient. I have been going to Pain Management for the last 5 years, and from the first visit till today they are still the best doctors, and staff you will ever have the pleasure of meeting.

Marilyn S

Dr. Mambalam has been the most amazing doctor, truly managing my husband's back pain for the first time in 20 yrs. He is completely thorough in his treatment plans, explaining them in depth and gaining our trust. He always makes time for us and instills complete confidence in his work and plan. Only complaint I have is that it can be very difficult to get to a live person on the phone when calling the clinics at either location. That needs work.

Anne P

I have had a professional, courteous experience from all the staff every time I go here. Dr. M takes the time to explain everything and options. He and Bonnie (the nurse) listens to my concerns with my pain. I have read the negative reviews and wonder if they are talking about the same people.

Perkins D

First visit and the staff are friendly and Dr. Mambalam was great! He listened to me and my concerns.

Doug M

Everyone at the Washington Pain Center for Management is always kind, caring and professional. Dr. Mambalam makes sure you understand what procedure he is doing, any possible risks involved and checks to see if You have any questions. I've been very happy with the care of the entire team.
