Pain
Management

Pain can be a difficult sensation to describe and communicate to a doctor.

Our pain management consultants will address your concerns with the utmost care and attention. A thorough discussion of your pain and conditions causing the pain will help our consultants determine the best course of action for your treatment.

Our pain management procedures include:

• Facet Joint Injection – A medical procedure that involves injecting a local anaesthetic and steroid medication into the facet joint of the spine to alleviate pain and inflammation under x-ray guidance
• Joint Injection – A steroid can be injected under x-ray guidance into a painful or swollen joint into the tissue around it.
• Sacroiliac (SIJI) – Maybe used to diagnose and treat lower back pain. A mixture of local anaesthetic and steroid is used for the injection under x-ray guidance
• Radiofrequency – Uses an electrical current to heat up a targeted area of nerve tissue to relieve pain

Tyneside Surgical Services have engaged consultant anaesthetic staff who specialise in pain management. Our clinical staff can offer a range of treatments which include the prescribing of appropriate medications, physiotherapy and psychological support. We also offer procedures for the management and control of pain.
