Lycahealth Orpington, close to Sevenoaks Way, has launched a pain management service for patients suffering with acute or chronic pain in the back, neck, head and joints.

Living with pain can have a big impact on your day to day life and mental wellbeing. With around 34% of adults experiencing chronic pain, with the prevalence increasing with age ranging from 16% among people aged 16 to 24 years to 53% among those aged 75 years and over. This new service is a valuable resource for patients looking for management of their pain symptoms.

The team of expert Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Consultants, Radiologists, Podiatrists and Physiotherapists work together to assess the type of pain you are experiencing and use the latest technology to make a quick diagnosis of your symptoms. Using a collaborative approach, they can suggest the optimal combination of treatments and therapies, including pain injections, radiofrequency (RF) procedures, medication management and physiotherapy to manage your pain as conservatively as possible.

There are a range of image guided pain injections now being offered in LycaHealth Orpington’s state-of-the-art theatre, giving you access to effective pain relief close to home, avoiding the need to travel into London. As all of the treatments are day-case, you will be back in the comfort of your own home the very same day.

Theatre Manager of LycaHealth Orpington, Shane Reid, says “Experiencing any level of pain is very personal and subjective. We believe the approach for managing that pain should be just as tailored. We are delighted to be launching our bespoke pain management service which will be vital for so many people who are suffering from acute or chronic pain.

“We are passionate about the quality care we provide our patients; being able to improve their quality of life and help them get back to an active lifestyle.”
