Pain Managment

The department offers a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach to managing both acute and chronic pain. With a mission to “Minimize the Pain and Maximize the Life,” our facility includes a dedicated consultant-led OPD, a high-tech interventional suite for precise procedures, and a specialized recovery area. We focus on evidence-based treatments that integrate clinical excellence with compassionate patient care for ex-servicemen and the general public.

1. Pain Categories: Acute pain, chronic pain, and specialized cancer pain management.

Specialised Services Differentiating Us

Our department stands out by offering niche services that go beyond routine pain relief:

1. Comprehensive Palliative Pain Care: Unlike general clinics, we offer advanced neurolytic techniques specifically for terminal cancer patients to ensure a dignified, pain-free life.
2. Interventional Vascular Access: We are one of the few pain departments that integrate high-end vascular access (PICC and Permcath) directly into clinical pain services, reducing wait times for oncology and dialysis patients.
3. Holistic Integration: Every treatment plan is uniquely linked with the hospital’s rehabilitation services, ensuring that pain relief leads directly to functional recovery.

The department utilizes cutting-edge technology to ensure the highest safety and precision:

1. Fluoroscopy-Guided Interventions: Using real-time X-ray imaging for precise spinal and joint injections.
2. High-Resolution Ultrasound: For specialized nerve blocks and musculoskeletal procedures without radiation exposure.
3. Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): Utilizing advanced RFA machines for long-term relief from chronic back, neck, and joint pain by safely interrupting pain signals.
