When pain starts deciding how you sit, sleep, move or live, it deserves more than temporary relief. At Sterling Hospitals, our Spine Pain Management services focus on identifying the source of pain and providing personalised treatment to reduce discomfort, improve movement and help patients return to everyday activities with greater ease and confidence.

Back or neck pain may begin as an occasional discomfort, but when it keeps returning, it can gradually start affecting the way you live. Persistent spine-related pain may sometimes be linked to an underlying condition that needs specialised evaluation rather than repeated short-term relief.

Comprehensive Care for Back & Neck Pain

• Back Pain Management

Back pain may develop due to problems involving the muscles, joints, discs, nerves or other structures of the spine. Our specialists evaluate the cause and severity of pain to plan appropriate treatment for symptoms such as persistent or recurring lower or upper back pain, pain that worsens while sitting, standing or bending, pain travelling into the buttocks or legs, numbness, tingling or weakness associated with back pain, and reduced movement affecting everyday activities. Treatment may include medication, targeted pain-relieving procedures, rehabilitation and other interventions depending on the underlying condition.

• Neck Pain Management

Neck pain may be caused by muscle strain, age-related changes in the spine, disc problems, joint-related pain or nerve compression. Specialised evaluation may be recommended when pain is accompanied by persistent neck stiffness or pain, difficulty turning or moving the neck, pain spreading into the shoulder, arm or hand, tingling, numbness or weakness, and headaches associated with neck pain. Treatment focuses on relieving pain while improving movement and addressing the condition causing the symptoms.

Spinal Injections & Interventional Pain Procedures

When medicines and conservative treatments do not provide adequate relief, targeted procedures may help control pain by treating the specific area responsible for the symptoms.

• Facet Injections

Facet joints are small joints located between the vertebrae that help the spine bend and move. When these joints become inflamed or painful, injections may be used to deliver medication directly around the affected joint. They may help reduce inflammation and pain, identify whether a facet joint is the source of pain, and improve movement and participation in rehabilitation.

• Epidural Injections

Epidural injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication close to irritated spinal nerves. They may be recommended for conditions causing pain travelling from the back into the legs, pain radiating from the neck into the arms, nerve irritation or inflammation, and symptoms associated with disc-related nerve compression. The aim is to reduce inflammation around the nerve and provide pain relief that may make everyday movement and physiotherapy easier.

• Radiofrequency Ablation

Radiofrequency ablation uses controlled radiofrequency energy to interrupt pain signals from specific nerves responsible for chronic pain. It may be considered when diagnostic procedures confirm that particular nerves or joints are contributing to persistent pain. The procedure may help provide longer-lasting pain relief in selected patients, reduce dependence on frequent pain medication, and improve mobility and daily functioning.

Rehabilitation

Pain relief is only one part of recovery. Rehabilitation helps patients regain movement, strength, and confidence while reducing the risk of recurring problems. A personalised rehabilitation programme may include:

• Physiotherapy and guided exercises
• Strengthening of muscles that support the spine
• Flexibility and mobility training
• Posture and movement correction
• Advice for safely returning to everyday activities
