Overview
Nerve blocks deliver medication directly to pain-carrying nerves; radiofrequency ablation uses controlled heat to interrupt those nerves for longer-lasting relief — often 6 to 24 months per treatment.
Dr. Avan Suryawanshi performs a full range of image-guided (fluoroscopy or ultrasound) procedures for spine, joint and cancer pain in a sterile procedure suite.
How we treat it
- Fluoroscopy-guided spine injections
- Ultrasound-guided joint and peripheral nerve blocks
- Radiofrequency ablation (thermal, pulsed and cooled)
- Neurolytic blocks for cancer pain
- Sympathetic nervous system blocks
Frequently asked questions
Are these procedures painful?+
Most patients feel only mild discomfort. We use local anaesthetic, and where needed, mild sedation for comfort during the procedure.
How long is the recovery?+
Most patients go home the same day and return to light activity within 24 hours. Full pain relief develops over the following week.
