<!--ec:block {"type":"marketing.faq","key":"ip-faq","headline":"Questions we get asked most","items":[{"question":"Will my insurance cover this?","answer":"Most of these procedures are covered by most plans, but coverage depends on your plan and on what has been tried already. We verify your insurance before your visit and tell you what to expect — we would rather have that conversation upfront than at billing."},{"question":"Does it hurt?","answer":"You will feel pressure, and usually a sting from the numbing medication at the start. The procedure itself is done with the area numbed. Tell your physician if you are anxious about it — that changes what they offer you for comfort."},{"question":"How many will I need?","answer":"It depends on the procedure and on how you respond. Some are diagnostic first — they tell us whether we have found the right nerve before anything longer-lasting is considered. Your physician will explain the sequence rather than committing you to a course upfront."},{"question":"Is this instead of surgery?","answer":"Often it is what you try before surgery is on the table, and for many people it is enough. If you do turn out to need surgery, having identified the exact source of pain first is not wasted work."},{"question":"Who performs these?","answer":"Board-certified pain physicians across our NJ, NY, PA and DE offices. You can see the full team on our providers page."}]}-->
