Injections are almost always a part of pain management protocols. Different types of injections are used to treat different types of pain. For e.g. BOTOX® injections for migraine, ultrasound or c-arm guided peripheral nerve block, joint injections for osteoarthritis, transforaminal injection, facet joint injections, injections for frozen shoulder, caudal and epidural injection, bursa injections, trigger point injections, plexus and ganglion blocks and sympathectomy.

Also called the Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) or Stem Cell therapy, it is recommended for minor injuries to muscles, ligaments, plantar fasciitis, tennis and golfer’s elbow, early grade of osteoarthritis, rotator cuff tear etc. This is an upcoming and new form of pain management which has shown not just good results in pain relief but also in the healing process. In this process, the platelets are separated from the patient’s own blood using a centrifugation machine and injected into the affected part of the body. This approach is shown promising results.

Some other pain relief options that we provide include:

• Radiofrequency ablation
• Epidural blood patch
• Alcohol or phenol neurolysis
• Intrathecal opioid pumps
• Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty
• Neuromodulation procedures

Neuropathic pain is usually caused due to nerve damage or some problem in the nervous system. It is chronic pain and the patient often complains of a shooting, burning, tingling, numbness, pins & needles sensation, electric shock like pain. Neuropathic pain can be an outcome of conditions such as radiculopathy, diabetic neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy, trigeminal neuralgia, glossopharyngeal neuralgia, pudendal neuralgia, post-hernia surgery groin pain, facial pains, chronic migraines and headaches, meralgia paresthetica, post herpes zoster pain, chronic surgery scar pain, pelvic pain syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome, endometriosis, refractory post-dural puncture headache (PDPH), etc.

Cancer and cancer treatment can severely ravage the human body. Pain resulting from cancer and its treatment including chemotherapy can in certain cases be extremely intense. We provide several treatments to manage pain resulting from cancer or cancer treatment. These include opioid therapy, nerve blocks, alcohol/phenol neurolysis, radiofrequency ablation, epidural infusions, and intrathecal pumps.

These are neurological disorders caused by damage to the central nervous system. These include fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndrome, CRPS or other centralised pains.
