Pain Clinic
The Pain Clinic at Unicorpus Health Foundation is dedicated to the evaluation, diagnosis, and management of acute and chronic pain conditions. We are committed to relieving discomfort, improving mobility, and supporting a better quality of life. Care is delivered through a multidisciplinary model, combining medical, interventional, and rehabilitative therapies in a compassionate and patient-focused environment.
Conditions We Treat
Our clinic addresses a wide range of pain-related disorders across various age groups:
- Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS): Severe chronic pain affecting limbs after trauma or surgery.
- Chronic back and neck pain: Often related to disc issues, spondylosis, or muscle strain.
- Joint and arthritis pain: Including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and post-traumatic joint pain.
- Neuropathic pain: Such as sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, and nerve compression syndromes.
- Headaches and migraines: Including tension-type headaches, cluster headaches, and chronic migraines.
- Cancer-related pain: Managed in collaboration with our Palliative Care team.
- Fibromyalgia: Widespread musculoskeletal pain often accompanied by fatigue and sleep disturbances.
- Post-surgical pain: Persistent or poorly controlled pain following surgery.
- Post-herpetic neuralgia: Nerve pain following shingles, particularly in elderly patients.
- Myofascial pain syndrome: Administered into specific muscle sites to alleviate pain and improve mobility in soft tissue conditions.
Technology & Facilities
Our clinic integrates advanced tools and environments to ensure accurate diagnosis and safe interventions:
- Pain scoring systems: To monitor progress and adjust treatment plans effectively.
- Fluoroscopy-guided procedures: Real-time imaging for accurate needle placement.
- Ultrasound guidance: Ensuring precision for nerve blocks and musculoskeletal injections.
- Electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies: Support the diagnosis of neuromuscular conditions.
- Dedicated pain procedure suites: Ensuring sterile, comfortable settings for interventions.
- Integrated referrals: Easy access to orthopaedics, neurology, rheumatology, and palliative care.
Interventional Pain Procedures & Minor Surgeries
- Epidural corticosteroid injections— effective in managing symptoms of nerve compression and radiculopathy
- Facet joint injections— for arthritis-related spine pain
- Radiofrequency ablation (RFA)— To selectively disrupt nerve signals responsible for chronic pain
- Peripheral nerve blocks— Targeted anaesthetic or steroid injections around specific nerves to alleviate acute or chronic regional pain
- Trigger point injections— Administered for the alleviation of muscle spasms and localised pain.
- Spinal cord stimulator/intrathecal pump— in select refractory pain cases (in coordination with neurosurgery)
- Joint injections (e.g., shoulder, knee)— for inflammatory and degenerative joint conditions
