Pain Injection Treatments

Overview

What are Pain Injection Treatments?

Pain injection treatments offer targeted relief for various types of pain. At LivingCare, we provide several specialist injection treatments, each designed to address specific pain conditions:

  • Spinal and Thoracic Injections for back pain and nerve conditions {Link}
  • Joint Injections for arthritis and joint inflammation {Link}
  • Arthrosamid Injections for knee osteoarthritis {Link}

Your consultant will recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your condition and needs.

How Pain Injection Treatments Work

Pain injections work by delivering medication directly to the source of your pain. Depending on your specific treatment, this might involve:

  • Anti-inflammatory medications
  • Local anaesthetic
  • Specialist solutions such as hydrogel

The timing and duration of pain relief vary depending on your injection type. During your consultation, your consultant will explain the expected outcomes for your specific treatment.

What to Expect When Receiving Pain Injection Treatments

Before Your Treatment:
At LivingCare, we assess each patient individually to create a bespoke treatment plan. During your consultation, our medical team will review your pain history, its impact on your daily life, and any previous treatments you've tried. We'll consider your medical history and current medications to develop the most appropriate treatment approach. You'll need to arrange transport home, as driving isn't recommended after these procedures.

During Your Treatment:
Your treatment will be performed by a consultant working alongside a skilled team including nurses, radiographers and healthcare assistants. The procedure typically takes around 20 minutes, and you'll be positioned appropriately for your treatment. We use advanced imaging technology to ensure precise injection delivery and local anaesthetic to maintain your comfort throughout the procedure.

After Your Treatment:
Following your procedure, you'll spend about 30 minutes in our recovery area, where our team will monitor you and provide refreshments. Before you leave, we'll give you detailed aftercare instructions and emergency contact information. Each specific treatment has its recovery guidelines, which your consultant will discuss with you.

Risks and Complications of Pain Injection Treatments

While generally safe, pain injections may cause some common side effects, such as:

  • Temporary discomfort around the injection site
  • Mild bruising
  • Short-term changes in blood pressure or blood sugar (particularly in diabetic patients)

Your consultant will discuss specific risks related to your particular treatment during your consultation.

How to Recover Following Pain Injection Treatments

Recovery varies depending on the type of injection you receive. General guidelines include:

  • Resting on the day of treatment
  • Applying cold compresses if recommended
  • Following any specific aftercare instructions for your treatment type
  • Gradually returning to normal activities as advised

For detailed recovery information about specific treatments, please refer to the relevant treatment page on our website.
