It offers customisable settings to tailor therapy according to the patient’s needs, providing relief from various types of chronic pain conditions.

Image-Guided Injections by a Well-Qualified Specialist

Our medical facility employs image-guided injection procedures performed by highly qualified specialists. These specialists use imaging techniques such as fluoroscopy, ultrasound, or MRI to precisely guide injections into targeted areas. This ensures the accurate placement of therapeutic substances, such as medications or regenerative materials, enhancing the effectiveness of treatments while minimising the risk of complications.

The combination of cutting-edge technology and the expertise of a skilled specialist contributes to the success and precision of therapeutic interventions, particularly in pain management and musculoskeletal treatments.

Types of Pain

If you are experiencing chronic pain, regardless of the cause, our pain medicine specialists can help. Chronic pain can significantly impact your daily life, affecting your mobility, sleep, mood, and overall well-being. We treat a wide range of pain conditions, including:

Back pain

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek pain management. Being one of the best hospitals in Hyderabad for back pain, we offer various treatments for herniated discs, sciatica, spinal stenosis, annular tear, facet joint arthritis, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, and other back problems.

Neck pain

Similar to back pain, neck pain can arise from various causes, including whiplash, arthritis, myofascial pain, and nerve compression. Our specialists offer targeted interventions to not only alleviate your pain but also restore mobility.

Joint pain

Arthritis, bursitis, and other joint conditions can cause significant pain and stiffness, especially in older patients. At Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, we provide a range of treatment options, including injections like PRP, or bone-marrow-derived cells, medication, and physical therapy, to manage your pain.

Pain after surgery is expected, but it should not be debilitating. We offer various pain management techniques, including nerve blocks and multimodal pain regimens, to ensure a comfortable recovery.

Musculoskeletal pain

Musculoskeletal pain is the type of pain that affects your bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, and muscles. It could be the result of an injury or a long-lasting condition such as arthritis. Our pain management team provides non-surgical pain relief options for chronic musculoskeletal pain with advanced procedures.

This type of pain arises from nerve damage and can be complex to manage. With decades of expertise in treating various neuropathic pain conditions, we excel at managing pain related to diabetic neuropathy, trigeminal neuralgia, postherpetic neuralgia, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), and other nerve-related pain.
