Pain Management: Your Pathway to a Pain-Free Life .
We are a multidisciplinary service dedicated to the comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of acute, chronic, and cancer-related pain.
We believe effective pain management goes beyond medication. Our specialists develop customized care plans that combine medication, physical therapy, interventional procedures, and behavioral treatments to target the source of your pain, helping you regain function and significantly improve your quality of life.
Technology and Infrastructure
Precision Infrastructure for Targeted Relief
At GHH, we utilize advanced imaging and neuro-modulation technology to ensure that pain treatments are delivered with pinpoint accuracy. This precision minimizes risks and maximizes the effectiveness of every procedure.
01
Fluoroscopy and Ultrasound Guidance:
We use real-time X-ray (Fluoroscopy) and high-resolution Ultrasound to guide needles and instruments directly to the source of pain-whether it's a nerve root or a joint space-ensuring safe and accurate delivery of medication
02
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) Equipment:
Our suits are equipped with specialized RFA generators that use heat to temporarily "turn off" the pain-signaling ability of specific nerves, providing long-term relief for chronic neck and back pain.
03
Dedicated Procedure Suites
All pain interventions are performed in sterile, specialized suites designed for minor procedures .This allows for a streamlined experience, from pre-procedure prep to post-injection recovery in a calm environment.
Clinical Approach
A Holistic & Responsible Path to Pain Relief
We view pain as a complex experience that requires more than just a “quick fix.” Our clinical philosophy is built on treating the whole person through evidence-based protocols that prioritize long-term health and safety.
01
Multimodal Approach:
We rarely rely on a single treatment. Our plans combine interventional procedures with physical therapy, lifestyle modifications and non-opioid medications to target pain from multiple angles.
02
Opioid Stewardship:
At GHH, we are committed to responsible prescribing. We prioritize non-addictive therapies and interventional techniques to manage pain effectively while minimizing the risk associated with long-term opioid use.
03
Functional Goals:
Success in our department isn't just a lower number on a pain scale, it's about what you can do, We set specific goals with you -such as walking a certain distance or returning to work-to ensure our treatments are improving your actual quality of life.
Key Procedures
Specialized Procedures We Offer
.
Epidural Steroid Injections
Delivering anti-inflammatory medication directly into the epidural space to relieve pain caused by herniated discs or spinal stenosis.
Nerve Blocks
Targeted injections of local anesthetic and steroids to “shut down” pain signals from specific nerves, often used for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
A procedure that uses thermal energy to interrupt nerve conduction, providing relief for chronic arthritic pain in the spine (facet joints).
Joint Injections
Guided injections into the knee, shoulder, or hip to reduce inflammation and improve mobility in patients with arthritis or injury.
Q:How is chronic pain different from acute pain?
A:Acute pain is short-term, resulting from a specific injury (like a broken bone). Chronic pain persists for 3 months or longer, often continuing after the initial injury has healed, requiring a specialized approach to manage the nervous system.
Q:Will I be sedated for pain procedures like epidurals?
A:Most procedures are performed under local anesthesia, meaning you are awake but the area is numb. However, we offer "light sedation" for anxious patients to ensure a comfortable and stress-free experience.
Q:What types of pain do you specialize in treating?
A:We specialize in a wide array of conditions, including chronic back and neck pain, sciatica, arthritis, neuropathic (nerve) pain, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), and post-surgical pain.
Q:How long does a joint injection provide relief?
A:Relief varies by individual and condition. Some patients experience relief for several weeks, while others may feel the benefits for six months or longer. These injections are often used to provide a "window of relief" to progress in physical therapy.
