Pain management is a specialised area of medical care focused on reducing or managing acute and chronic pain affecting the spine, joints, and soft tissues.
Image-guided procedures (also known as interventional procedures or interventional radiology) enable precise diagnosis and treatment by allowing radiologists to target the exact source of pain.
These treatments are commonly used when symptoms persist despite physiotherapy or medication.
