Patients Education
Acute Pain is the normal, predicted physiological response to an adverse chemical, thermal, or mechanical stimulus associated with surgery, trauma, and acute illness. It is generally time-limited and is responsive to regular pain killers, Opioid therapy, Simple Blocks among other therapies. If it is not controlled earlier then it can cause heart problems, pneumonia, stress and more possibility of it becoming chronic.
Chronic Pain is a pain state which is persistent and in which the cause of the pain cannot always be removed or is difficult to treat. Chronic Pain may be associated with a long term incurable or intractable medical condition or disease. Usually any pain not responsive to regular treatment for more than 3 months, becomes chronic pain.

Common problems treated at our clinic:
It is one of the most common problem and slowly increasing due to postural and lifestyle related issues. Commonly done procedures for these problem are Facet Joint (Joint in your spine) procedure (Median branch block), Radiofrequency neurotomy for Facet joint, Transforaminal Intervention (Root Block), Epidural Adhesiolysis, Discogram, Percutaneous Laser Discectomy, Implantable pump or Spinal cord stimulator.
It is again one of the common problems. Frequently done procedures for these problems are Facet Joint procedure (Median branch block), Radiofrequency neurotomy for Facet joint, Transforaminal Intervention (Root Block), Epidural Adhesiolysis, Discogram, Implantable pump or Spinal cord stimulator
It is the commonest possible symptom that brings a patient to doctor. Again this problem has become more prevalent in modern age. Medicines usually take care most of the times. Patients resistant to drug treatment, side effects to drugs or are reluctant for drugs can be offered certain procedures depending on the type of headache. Commonly done procedures are Sphenopalatine block or RFA, Trigger point procedure, Trigeminal Neuralgia Radiofrequency Ablation, Greater occipital nerve block and Neck Facet Joint procedure, Radiofrequency Neurotomy for Neck Facet joint
Patients following trivial trauma or injury can have RSD with limb swelling, pain and discoloration. Also patients with vascular (Blood vessel) pain can benefit from the procedures like Sympathetic block, Stellate block, Implantable pump or Spinal cord stimulator.
It probably the most disturbing pain problem presently we are facing. Pain due to cancer is might be in early or terminal stages of the disease. Most of the cases once pain of the patient goes down morale of the patient are improved with increase in appetite. Commonly offered blocks for these patients are Celiac plexus block, Splanchnic Radiofrequency ablation, Hypogastric plexus Neurolysis and Implantable pump.
These are complex pain problems due to damage to the nerve itself not like above problems which are mostly due to body tissue damage other than nerves. Commonly done procedures for Neuralgias or Neuropathies are Nerve block or Neurolysis, Radiofrequency ablation, Sympathetic block or Stellate block and Spinal cord stimulator or Implantable pump.
Some patients like after surgery of back or neck, chest, hernia or certain abdominal operation can have persistent pain inspite of correcting the actual problem of that area. It is usually due to entrapped nerve in the area of operation. Commonly done procedures for these problems are Nerve block or Neurolysis, Radiofrequency ablation, Sympathetic block or Stellate block, Spinal cord stimulator and implantable pump.
