At The Pain Relief Clinic, we understand that patients suffering from pain need to be properly informed about their treatment options.

Our specialist Dr Chong emphasizes the need to offer the most appropriate, safe, and effective solution available based on each patient's specific medical condition.

Arthritis of the spine joints such as the facets joint and sacroiliac joints can result in chronic back pain.

Under mild sedation, in a day surgical setting, Radio Frequency Waves can be transmitted through a needle applied to the nerves that supply the joints.

This relatively quick and simple procedure is minimally invasive, and offers non-surgical solution to the back and neck pain.

Epidural local anaesthetic and steroids injected through a needle is a form of treatment modality after other modalities had failed.

One of the most common causes of chronic neck and back pain is the compression of the spinal nerve roots by protruded intervertebral discs (slipped disc).

A common non-surgical technique for treatment of the above is disc nucleoplasty. It involves inserting a needle into the disc under X ray guidance. The protruded disc can then be treated with a low temperature coblation needle.

This form of high tech needle creates plasma energy in the disc and causes the protruded disc to retract back into its original position thus freeing the nerve roots.

Many people suffer from persistent muscle aches and pain in the neck, back and other parts of their body. This myofascial pain while often overlooked and poorly relieved by standard medications, can be quite easily treated with a simple injection of local anaesthetics or Botox-A into the trigger point(painful area).

Injection of Botox-A can be especially effective in allowing patients to live pain free for many months.
