Diagnostic-therapeutic blocks

Selective nerve blocks that simultaneously identify the source of pain and treat it.

Spinal cord stimulation

Frequently asked questions

FAQ · Chronic Pain

Could my pain be "psychological"? +

Chronic pain always has a psychological component — that is biology, not imagination. But it almost always also has an identifiable physical component. Both are addressed.

Is it worth consulting a pain specialist if I've already seen many doctors? +

Yes. The interventional pain specialist has a different perspective and tools compared to other specialists. Many patients with years of pain found resolution at their first pain medicine consultation.

How long is the first appointment? +

The first evaluation is comprehensive and can take up to 60–90 minutes. This is the time needed to fully understand the case.

Do you have options for pain that does not respond to anything? +

Yes. Spinal cord stimulation and intrathecal infusion pumps are options for severe refractory pain that does not respond to any conventional treatment.
