Growing Burden of Chronic Pain
Chronic pain affects a significant portion of the Indian population, stemming from various causes such as injuries, diseases, and medical treatments. With an aging population and increasing prevalence of conditions like arthritis, neuropathy, and cancer, the demand for effective pain management is rising.
Underdiagnosis and Undertreatment
Chronic pain is often underdiagnosed and undertreated in India due to factors such as lack of awareness, cultural beliefs, and limited access to healthcare services. Pain medicine departments in healthcare institutions can help bridge this gap by providing specialized care and raising awareness about the importance of pain management.
Multidisciplinary Approach
The department typically employ a multidisciplinary approach to pain management, involving healthcare professionals from various fields such as pain medicine, physiotherapy, psychology, and rehabilitation. This holistic approach ensures comprehensive assessment and personalized treatment plans for patients, addressing both physical and psychological aspects of pain.
In Coimbatore, when it comes to orthopaedic care, Dr. Muthus Hospital stands as a beacon of excellence and innovation. With over 25 years of dedicated service in orthopaedics and joint replacement, our hospital has earned a reputation for pioneering advancements in the field. One of our standout offerings is the department of Pain Medicine, where we provide cutting-edge treatments tailored specifically for orthopaedic conditions. Unlike traditional approaches that may involve surgery or steroid use, our focus lies in delivering long-term pain relief through non-invasive methods.
Cooled RFA Treatment
Cooled Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure that targets and disrupts pain signals from specific nerves. By precisely applying controlled thermal energy, this technique offers significant relief from chronic pain without the need for surgery.
Regenerative Therapy
Regenerative therapy harnesses the body's natural healing mechanisms to repair damaged tissues and reduce inflammation. Through techniques such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and stem cell injections, we promote tissue regeneration and alleviate pain caused by orthopaedic conditions.
Ozone Therapy
Ozone therapy utilizes ozone, a naturally occurring gas, to reduce pain and inflammation associated with orthopaedic conditions. By introducing ozone into the affected area, we stimulate oxygenation and enhance the body's ability to heal damaged tissues, providing long-lasting relief from pain.
Cryo-Therapy
Cryotherapy involves the application of extreme cold to numb nerves and reduce pain. This non-invasive treatment modality is particularly effective for managing acute and chronic pain associated with orthopaedic conditions, offering patients a safe and efficient way to alleviate discomfort.
Transforaminal Neuroplasty
Transforaminal neuroplasty is a specialized procedure aimed at relieving pain caused by nerve compression in the spine. By accessing the affected nerve roots through a targeted approach, we can alleviate pain and improve mobility for patients suffering from conditions such as herniated discs or spinal stenosis.
Neuro Modulation
Neuro modulation techniques involve the use of electrical impulses to modulate nerve activity and alleviate pain. Through innovative approaches such as spinal cord stimulation and peripheral nerve stimulation, we can effectively manage chronic pain and improve patients' quality of life.
Pulsed Radio Frequency
Pulsed radiofrequency therapy delivers electromagnetic pulses to targeted nerves, disrupting pain signals and providing relief from chronic pain conditions. This non-destructive approach offers patients a safe and effective alternative to surgery for managing orthopaedic pain.
Vertebroplasty
Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to stabilize vertebral fractures and alleviate associated pain. By injecting bone cement into the fractured vertebra, we can restore stability and relieve pain, allowing patients to regain mobility and function.
Intrathecal Pump
Intrathecal pump therapy involves the implantation of a small pump that delivers medication directly into the spinal fluid. By bypassing the digestive system, this targeted approach ensures optimal pain relief with lower doses of medication, reducing the risk of systemic side effects.
US Guided Hydrodissection
Ultrasound-guided hydrodissection is a precise technique used to alleviate pain by injecting fluid into targeted areas, such as nerve roots or joint spaces. By creating space and reducing pressure on nerves, this procedure offers effective pain relief for patients with orthopaedic conditions.
At Dr. Muthus Hospital, we are committed to providing comprehensive and personalized care for patients with orthopaedic conditions. Through our advanced pain medicine treatments, we strive to alleviate pain, restore function, and improve the overall quality of life for our patients.
