Clínica Girona Pain Management Unit: Relieve your pain, reclaim your life

Contact

Chronic pain is a reality that affects millions of people worldwide, with a significant impact on their quality of life and functional capacity. At Clínica Girona, this challenge is approached with a comprehensive and personalised approach from our Pain Management Unit.

The main aim of our Unit is to relieve your pain, improve your quality of life and, wherever possible, restore your function. To achieve this, we establish a relationship based on trust, information and communication. You will have a active paper in their therapeutic process, as knowledge of their pathology and treatment options will enable them to participate in decision-making in an informed manner.

By means of a Comprehensive diagnostic evaluation (clinical, radiological, and functional), we identify the type, location, and characteristics of the pain. This allows us to develop a Multidisciplinary treatment plan, adapted to the needs of each patient and based on the most current scientific evidence.

Specialised treatments for each case

At the Pain Treatment Unit, we offer a wide range of treatments to address different types of pain, combining pharmacological therapies and minimally invasive techniques:

Treatments

Pharmacological therapies with a wide range of drugs that are combined with minimally invasive treatments to improve efficacy, reduce opioid use and minimise adverse effects, adapting to the patient's needs.
Epidural steroid injections for the treatment of symptomatic disc herniation, whether of cervical, thoracic or lumbar origin.
Nerve blocks with local anaesthetics, guided by ultrasound and neurostimulation, for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
Joint blockades for the treatment of joint pain such as the spine, sacroiliac joint, knee, hip and shoulder.
Muscle and trigger point blocks, indicated for contractures resistant to physiotherapy or long-term.
Radiofrequency treatment, which acts on anatomical structures involved in pain, producing localised lesions or altering the biological behaviour of the treated cells. It includes thermocoagulation of the medial branch of the dorsal ramus for vertebral pain, treatment of the dorsal root ganglion for radiculopathies, sympathectomy for complex regional pain, and radiofrequency of peripheral nerves in pathologies such as occipital neuralgia headache, frozen shoulder, and intercostal chest pain.
Botulinum toxin treatment, particularly indicated for the treatment of myofascial pain.
Epidural adhesionolysis and radiofrequency for the treatment of complex pathologies.
Regional sympathetic blocks which can be temporary or permanent depending on the type of pain, such as the stellate ganglion block, lumbar sympathetic block, and brachial plexus block.
Molecular and biological therapies, including treatments with platelet-rich plasma and autologous cytokines.
Neuropathic pain treatment lidocaine infusions, capsaicin patches (Qutenza) and pulsed radiofrequency.
