At PainMed Clinic, we are committed to providing effective neuropathic pain treatment solutions to improve your comfort and quality of life. Take the first step toward relief if you’re struggling with chronic nerve pain, and book an appointment with our interventional pain specialists.
Neuropathic pain is a chronic condition caused by damage or dysfunction in the nervous system. This type of pain occurs when nerves are injured, diseased, or malfunctioning, sending incorrect or excessive pain signals to the brain.
Neuropathic pain is typically characterised by sensations of burning, tingling, or shooting pain. It is often described as a constant, hot feeling, or it can manifest as a prickling “pins and needles” sensation or numbness, particularly in the limbs. Due to the discomfort, many people with neuropathic pain find it hard to rest. It can be long-lasting and difficult to treat, which is why seeking effective neuropathic pain treatment is essential to improving your well-being and quality of life.

Nerve Blocks
Local anaesthetics or steroids are injected near specific nerves to block pain signals and relieve temporary or long-term pain.

A small device is implanted near the spinal cord to deliver electrical pulses, which interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain.

Radiofrequency Ablation
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure that uses heat generated by radio waves to precisely target and deactivate nerve tissue responsible for transmitting pain signals. This technique can provide significant and long-lasting relief for certain types of chronic and neuropathic pain, particularly when other treatments have been ineffective.
