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.

We provide a wide array of specialised treatments for complex conditions:

·         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:

·         Comprehensive Palliative Pain Care: Unlike general clinics, we offer advanced neurolytic techniques specifically for terminal cancer patients to ensure a dignified, pain-free life.

·         Holistic Integration: Every treatment plan is uniquely linked with the hospital’s rehabilitation services, ensuring that pain relief leads directly to functional recovery.
