Pain management
Long-term back, neck, nerve and joint pain treated without surgery, including radiofrequency ablation (RFA).
Pain can be disabling, whether it came on suddenly or has lasted for years. Our pain management unit offers evidence-based treatment that aims to reduce your pain and improve your quality of life, not only to manage it.
Interventional pain specialists, orthopaedic surgeons and rehabilitation experts work together. We combine careful diagnosis, minimally invasive procedures and rehabilitation for lasting relief.
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA)
RFA uses controlled heat to switch off the nerves that carry pain signals. Relief can last for months or even years. It is a quick outpatient procedure under local anaesthetic, with no surgery and no long recovery.
