Chronic Pain Treatment
Specialist doctor‑led care
Treat the root cause with TAME — not just temporary relief. For plantar fasciitis, frozen shoulder, and chronic elbow pain.
Treating chronic pain at its source — without major surgery
Every type of chronic pain has its own source — abnormal blood vessels, facet joints, compressed nerve roots, or muscle. Effective care starts with pinpointing which structure is driving your pain, then choosing the procedure that targets it directly.
Our pain-medicine team performs image-guided procedures under fluoroscopy or ultrasound. Entry points are needle-sized, most procedures need only local anaesthetic, and the majority of patients go home the same day.
Why minimally invasive?
- Needle-sized entry — no surgical wound
- Local anaesthetic for most procedures
- Same-day discharge and fast recovery
- A sensible option before committing to surgery

In-depth guidance for each symptom pattern
Chronic joint & tendon pain (TAME)
Plantar fasciitis, frozen shoulder, and chronic elbow pain — treated at the abnormal blood vessels that drive the pain.
- TAME — TransArterial MicroEmbolization
- No surgery — needle-sized entry
- Evidence-based outcomes
Chronic neck pain & radiating arm pain
Facet-joint pain and nerve-root pain radiating to the arm — diagnosed with targeted blocks, treated with RF and image-guided injections.
- Diagnostic medial branch block
- Medial branch radiofrequency
- Cervical epidural steroid injection
Chronic back pain & radiating leg pain
Facet or SI-joint pain and sciatica-type leg pain — from diagnostic injections to RFA, epidural steroid injection, and balloon neuroplasty.
- Facet / SI joint pathway with RFA
- Epidural steroid injection — 3 routes
- Pulsed RF & balloon neuroplasty options
The full range of procedures we perform
Every procedure is image-guided and performed by a pain-medicine specialist
Joints & tendons
TAME (TransArterial MicroEmbolization)
Reduces the abnormal blood vessels that drive chronic inflammation and pain.
Neck · Back
Diagnostic medial branch block
A small local-anaesthetic test injection that confirms whether the facet joints are the pain source.
Neck · Back
Medial branch RF / RFA
Radiofrequency treatment that quiets the pain signal from confirmed facet or SI joints.
Neck · Back
Facet / SI joint injection
Optional joint injection with steroid, PRP, or prolotherapy as an adjunct.
Neck · Back
Epidural steroid injection
Reduces inflammation around compressed nerve roots; lumbar ESI can use the transforaminal, interlaminar, or caudal route.
Neck
Selective nerve root injection
Targets a single confirmed nerve root under ultrasound guidance.
Back
Pulsed RF of the nerve root
An option when epidural steroid injection is unsuitable or relief is insufficient.
Back
Epidural balloon neuroplasty
Releases epidural adhesions in selected patients with persistent radicular pain.
Muscle pain
Trigger point injection
Releases painful muscle knots when the diagnostic workup points to muscular pain.
Minimally invasive vs. open surgery
Why we start with the least invasive option that fits your diagnosis
| Our image-guided procedures | Open surgery | |
|---|---|---|
| Incision | Needle-sized entry | Surgical incision |
| Anaesthesia | Local anaesthetic ± light sedation | General anaesthesia |
| Hospital stay | Mostly same-day discharge | Several days in hospital |
| Recovery | Back to daily life in 1–3 days | Weeks to months |
| Risk profile | Low | Higher — depends on the operation |
| When it fits | First-line for most patients without red flags | Clear indications such as weakness or spinal cord compression |
