Pain Management
There have been great advances in the management of acute and chronic pain over the past few years. And, as you would expect, Calvary has kept abreast with these advances. Modern pain management is also a multidisciplinary speciality, with anaesthetists, rheumatologists, psychologists, and specialised nursing staff all participating in patient care.
The various treatment modalities include the injection of specific joints with medications, epidural injections (into the spaces around the spinal cord), and the placement of permanent epidural catheters for pain relief at home.
For patients with chronic pain, psychologists are able to help relieve those stresses which can exacerbate the perception of pain
