Conditions We Commonly Treat

Neck Pain

Neck pain may cause stiffness, reduced movement, or nerve-related pain radiating into the arms.
Treatment options include:

  • Targeted nerve blocks
  • Cervical epidural steroid injections
  • Radiofrequency ablation
  • Physiotherapy programs


Our goal is to reduce inflammation, restore movement, and help you feel relief.

Back Pain

Back pain is one of the most common reasons Australians seek medical help — whether due to disc injury, arthritis, or muscle strain. We treat the underlying cause, not just the symptoms.
Treatment options include:

  • Lumbar epidural injections
  • Facet joint injections & radiofrequency ablation
  • Nerve root blocks
  • Tailored rehabilitation exercises


Get moving again with confidence.

Sciatica

Sciatica causes sharp, radiating pain from the lower back down the leg. Our precision-guided procedures relieve nerve pressure and irritation.
Treatment options include:

  • Transforaminal epidural injections
  • Nerve root blocks
  • Posture correction & rehabilitation programs


Restore mobility and comfort with expert care.

Neuropathic Pain

Neuropathic pain often feels like burning, tingling, or electric-shock sensations. We use advanced therapies to reduce nerve dysfunction and improve daily life.
Treatment options include:

  • Spinal cord stimulation
  • Targeted nerve injections
  • Medication optimisation
  • Rehabilitation physiotherapy


Interrupt abnormal pain signals and regain control.

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

Radiofrequency Ablation is a minimally invasive treatment that targets specific nerves responsible for carrying pain signals to the brain. By using controlled heat generated by radio waves, our specialists can “turn off” pain signals without affecting surrounding movement or function.

  • 1. Diagnostic nerve block

    A test injection confirms the pain source.

  • 2. Image-guided precision

    A specialised needle is placed near the target nerve.

  • 3. Nerve stimulation

    Low electrical current verifies correct placement.

  • 4. Heat application

    Radiofrequency energy creates a small lesion, blocking pain signals.

  • 5. Recovery

    The procedure takes 30–60 minutes, usually under local anaesthesia, with or without mild sedation.

Conditions Treated with RFA:
  • Cervical and lumbar facet joint pain
  • Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
  • Chronic neck or low back pain
  • Post-whiplash pain
  • Failed back surgery syndrome (selected cases)
  • Chronic knee, hip, or shoulder pain
  • Headaches & facial pain (e.g., occipital or trigeminal neuralgia)
  • Neuropathic pain involving the dorsal root ganglion
  • Cancer-related pain management (e.g., pancreatic cancer)

Compared to older nerve ablation methods, modern RFA techniques — including pulsed and water-cooled radiofrequency — offer safer, more precise treatment with reduced risk of complications.

FAQs

 If your pain lasts more than a few weeks, affects daily activities, or is linked to nerve-related symptoms, it’s time to seek specialist care.

 Yes. All procedures are performed by experienced specialists using strict safety protocols.

Relief varies by condition, but many patients notice improvement within days to weeks.

Relief can last from several months to years. Some nerves may regenerate over time, but RFA can be repeated if necessary.
