No referral is required when visiting our clinic. However, before referring to a pain specialist, the patient’s pain should be evaluated by an appropriate medical specialist (e.g. neurologist, orthopaedic-traumatologist) and the cause of the pain should be identified. This is very important to avoid overlooking rarer specific diseases that require timely treatment outside the pain clinic.
Pain clinics are usually specialised in the assessment and treatment of pain, but do not diagnose the diseases that cause it.

It is a minimally invasive treatment technique designed to precisely and selectively target the source of pain or the nerve structures that transmit pain. Procedures are usually performed under ultrasound or X-ray control to maximise precision and safety. Interventional pain treatment is selected on an individual basis, taking into account the patient’s condition, the cause of the pain and previous treatments.
Yes, the procedures are carried out under strict safety standards, usually using ultrasound or X-ray guidance. Complications are rare.
Most procedures are minimally painful because they use local anaesthesia. Patients usually experience only short-term discomfort.
Treatments usually last about 30 minutes. Afterwards, the patient is monitored in the ward for about an hour before being discharged home.
The effect can take a few days, in some cases within 1-2 weeks. This depends on the method of treatment used and the individual body’s response.
This depends largely on the pain syndrome, individual patient factors and the type of procedure used. Some interventions may have a short-term effect, while for example, after radiofrequency denervation, pain usually recurs gradually, with nerve regeneration taking 6-12 months. Effective pain treatments can be repeated.
The main goal of chronic pain treatment is to reduce pain, improve function and quality of life. In some cases, pain can be eliminated completely.
Yes, especially if the underlying problem causing the pain (e.g. degeneration of the spine or joints) is not solved. Continuous patient care, pain prevention and multidisciplinary treatment are important for long-term results.
Mostly yes. It is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise the day after the procedure and to follow your doctor’s recommendations. Afterwards, you can return to your normal activities.
