Pain Management Procedures

Pain management procedures are performed for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. The use of CT and Ultrasound, most commonly, is used to guide the Radiologist during the procedure. Our specialist trained Radiologists perform all interventional procedures alongside our experienced technicians. Pain management procedures can include a combination of steroid and anaesthetic for various clinical indications such as bursitis, tendinopathy, fluid aspirations as well as nerve root, facet joint and epidural injections performed on the spine.
