"It is a great feeling to see an old adversary, pain, weakened day by day, and, more importantly, to contribute to the health and well-being of others."

What is this?
Dr. Sassan Hassassian, MD, Ashburn, VA, 20147-6214
The division of interventional pain management specializes primarily in treatment of painful disorders of spine, musculoskeletal system, and the nervous system. My goal as the director of Interventional Pain Management division is to improve the quality of life of our patients through utilizing safe, effective, and advanced treatment modalities for long-term alleviation of pain and suffering. My ultimate objective is to decrease the frequency and intensity of pain, thereby enabling our patients to return to a more productive lifestyle as quickly as possible. Our division works very closely with our other divisions in Spine, Orthopedics, and Functional Restoration to provide a multidisciplinary approach for treatment of our patients.
The focus of our treatment is based on interventional pain management techniques and minimally invasive procedures aimed at increasing functionality and decreasing reliance on medication therapy.
We offer the latest in technology and minimally invasive treatments, such as X-ray guided specialized epidural, joint and diagnostic injections; radiofrequency nerve ablations; spinal cord stimulation; percutaneous disc decompression and percutaneous epidural scar tissue release.
