Pain Management
Modern Treatment Approaches
At SC21 Medical Centre, we provide a range of cutting edge treatments combined into an effective pain management program. We target a number of key area's such as chronic inflammation, tissue stimulation, repair mechanisms, and the body microenvironment. When synergistically targeting these area's, we see real therapeutic outcomes for our patients.
We provide a number of treatment packages in our pain management programs, based on the number of therapies, duration of program, and frequency of follow up.
Most Commonly Treated:
According to published research , no less than 80 percent of adults in the world will experience chronic back pain at some point in their life. Often occurring in the lower back, the pain may be caused by an injury or develop progressively due to arthritis, osteoporosis, or normal wear and tear.
Back pain has become an epidemic around the world, especially with recent lifestyle changes, and it is a leading cause of disability and lost productivity in the workplace today. Common causes of chronic back pain include:
- Slipped or bulging discs, typically caused by twisting or lifting injuries
- Spinal stenosis involving the narrowing of the spinal canal and compression of nerves
- Compression fractures, commonly associated with osteoporosis
Soft-tissue damage caused by strain or trauma to back muscles, ligaments, or tendons - Spinal fractures
- Structural deformities such as scoliosis (the abnormal sideways curvature of the spine) or lordosis (the excessive inward curvature of the lower back)
Joint pain, typically caused by injury, infection, or advancing age, is one of the leading types of chronic pain among adults. According to a published report, arthritis is the most common cause, affecting roughly one of every two adults.
Some of the more common types of chronic joint pain are:
- Osteoarthritis, common in the elderly and usually affecting the larger joints
- Rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disorder which causes swelling of the joint spaces
- Repetitive motion injury, common in athletes and people who do repetitive physical activities
- Bursitis, caused by swelling of the fluid-filled sacs that cushion the joints
- Tendinitis, caused by the inflammation of joint tendons
Chronic nerve (neuropathic) pain affects one of every 10 adults, according to a study from the Mayo Clinic School of Medicine. This commonly happens when the nerves are either compressed, damaged, or exposed to drugs that strip their protective exterior coating (called the myelin sheath).
Some of the more common examples of chronic neuropathic pain are:
- Sciatica, typically caused by nerve compression which triggers a shooting pain down the leg
- Diabetic neuropathy, often occurring in the hands or feet
- Carpal tunnel syndrome, commonly associated with repetitive motion
- Postherpetic neuralgia, a type of chronic pain which persists after a shingles outbreak
- Trigeminal neuralgia, caused by injury to the trigeminal nerve of the face
