Our clinic specialises in pain control in people aged 65 and older. These individuals often have complex health conditions and have not found pain relief from medication prescribed by their GP or geriatrician.

The goal of our clinic is to preserve functional ability in the elderly and improve their quality of life. We offer diverse treatment options including drug infusions, nerve block injections, radio wave therapy, Spinal cord stimulation (SCS), and more.

Understanding Pain in Seniors

Acute and chronic pain are prevalent among the elderly population. Various factors can contribute to pain in older adults, and it's not uncommon for an individual to suffer from multiple pain syndromes stemming from different causes simultaneously.

Pain affects the elderly physically, emotionally, and socially, reducing their quality of life and affecting their families and caregivers.

Addressing pain in the elderly demands a holistic strategy, considering the person's overall health status, chronic conditions, and medication regimen to provide a tailored and comprehensive treatment for each patient.
