Treatment philosophy:
Picture below is just an
example the way approach to the back and neck pain problem.
We start
with the simple treatment and then go up the ladder depending on patients
response. Idea is to give the maximum option to the patient to improve with
least to lesser complicated procedure before one decides for an open
operation. Not that open operation is not good but it has own problems.
Commonly done procedures
by our experts are:
-

block or Median branch block

Transforaminal Intervention
-
Radiofrequency ablation for Facet joint
-
Percutaneous laser Disc decompression
-
Epidural
Adhesiolysis/Neuroplasty

IT IS NOT ACUPUNCTURE OR
PHYSIOTHERAPY OR NOT AN OPEN OPERATION

INTERVENTIONAL PAIN PROCEDURES, WHICH IS MINIMALLY INVASIVE TO GIVE THE
MAXIMUM BENEFIT OF PAIN CONTROL BY HARDLY ANY TRAUMA OR SIDE EFFECTS.
No special preparations
are required to do these procedures. These procedures are performed with the
help of the needles, targeted to the problem site (not acupuncture).
The problem site could be
reached under X-ray guidance (Fluoroscopy) confirmation and also by
injecting dye around the problem area. Almost all the procedures are day
care and discharged the same day. Infact one can go back to work after most
of these procedures.

patients who are not surgical candidates according to surgeons/physicians
or unfit for operative procedures.

All above mentioned
procedures are day cases except selected few like implantable stimulator
or pump.
