Pain Treatment

Persisting pains inherently already are a great burden and frequently trigger a series of secondary reactions such as muscle tensing, shortening and hardness. Patients adopt compensatory positions and thus strain originally healthy
structures. This is the beginning of a vicious circle that has to be broken.

After precise diagnosis and the identification of indications, a wide range of therapeutic options are available to the therapist. The majority of patients can be helped with noninvasive therapies, frequently in combination.

Interventional pain treatment takes advantage of minimally invasive procedures with the aim of lasting pain relief through selective interruption or modification of the pain signal conduction along the affected nerve pathways. This is either achieved by targeted injection of medication or by the interruption of the pain signal conduction through neurodestructive procedures. Percutaneous minimally invasive procedures are preferred. For this, percutaneous, minimally invasive procedures are the best choice. Under visual control and electrical stimulation monitoring, specifically directed electrodes, probes or catheters are generally inserted through cannulas depending on the method:

• for application of cold onto peripheral nerves - cryo lesion
• for thermolesion of nervous tissue – radio frequency thermo lesion
• for application of chemical substances

The nerve areas responsible for motor function and sensitivity are not affected!
