Targeted relief, not a long-term prescription.

Overview.

Our pain medicine service treats chronic pain as a clinical condition in its own right, not a symptom to mask. We aim for targeted relief, not long-term opioid prescriptions, using a stepped approach from physiotherapy and lifestyle through to image-guided procedures. Cases are discussed in a pain MDT alongside neurology, neurosurgery and rehabilitation, with clear goals set at the first visit.

Questions before you book.

No. We aim for targeted relief, with opioids reserved for short courses or cancer pain. The plan combines lifestyle, physiotherapy, procedures and, where useful, non-opioid medication.

Most procedures are done under local anaesthetic with light sedation if needed. You walk out the same day in nearly all cases.

Radiofrequency ablation typically gives 6–18 months of relief. The procedure can be repeated when symptoms return.

Most major Saudi insurers cover image-guided pain procedures with prior authorisation, which our team handles for you.

Yes — paediatric chronic pain is reviewed jointly with paediatrics. We offer age-appropriate assessment and treatment.
