In brief — for a quick understanding
Pain management is specialised care for people with chronic or complex pain — for example long-standing back, nerve or joint pain — that hasn't responded to standard treatment. Specialists use targeted, minimally invasive techniques such as nerve blocks, epidural injections and radiofrequency ablation to reduce pain and improve function. Most are day-care procedures.
Overview & who it's for
Chronic pain can seriously affect quality of life and doesn't always respond to medicines alone. Pain-management specialists offer targeted interventions that treat the source of pain directly.
Techniques include injections around irritated nerves (nerve blocks), epidural injections for spinal-related pain, and radiofrequency ablation, which uses heat to interrupt pain signals. These are usually minimally invasive, day-care procedures combined with a broader pain-management plan.
You may be a candidate if you have:
- Chronic back, neck or nerve pain
- Pain not controlled by standard medicines
- Joint or musculoskeletal pain
- Nerve-related (neuropathic) pain
- Those seeking alternatives to long-term painkillers

Frequently asked questions
It's a minimally invasive procedure that uses heat energy to interrupt the nerves carrying pain signals, which can provide lasting relief for certain types of chronic pain, such as some back and joint pain.
They can give significant, sometimes long-lasting relief, but results vary and some conditions need repeat treatment. They are usually part of a wider pain-management plan.
Most interventional pain procedures are day-care, so stays are short, though a course of treatment may need a longer visit. Your specialist will advise.
