Not all neck pains require surgery

Surgery may not always be useful for treating most types of neck pain and is often viewed as a last resort. The advances in modern medicine have led to the availability of many non-surgical interventions for your neck pain. These alternatives to open surgery are seen as the "missing link" between conservative care and surgical options.

Pain specialists don’t just prescribe pain medication

Most people have the common misconception that pain specialists primarily prescribe pain medications as a means for treating pain. However, that is far from the truth. SPI leverages the latest pain diagnostic methods to accurately identify the cause of your pain and implement appropriate procedures to treat it. Treatment options can range from physical therapy to pharmacological treatments to minimally invasive procedures.

Pain management isn’t the last resort

Many people think that seeing a pain specialist is the last resort. However, therapeutic interventions work best when applied early. The sooner you seek a consultation with a pain specialist, the better your pain can be managed in the long term. This is because waiting until your pain becomes chronic to see a pain specialist might result in a deterioration of your condition, affecting your ability to fully recover from your pain.

Your Journey With Us

Take a look at a customer’s journey to pain recovery with Dr Chua.

Who?

Ms Ow, a 56-year-old clerk with a desk-bound job.

What?

She experienced chronic neck pain, which caused her to suffer sleepless nights, which in turn saw her struggling at work. She also became increasingly moody, causing issues in her personal life and relationships.

WHERE?

The neck pain was felt between her shoulder blades, accompanied by sore and tight shoulders. Her neck joints were tender to the touch, and whenever she looked up or turned her head, the pain worsened.

WHEN?

She had been experiencing neck pain for 6 years, attempting to treat it by undergoing physiotherapy. Unfortunately she developed side effects from the pain medications she was taking concurrently. Ultimately, she ended up consulting Dr Chua.

HOW?

Within a couple of weeks of undergoing the treatment procedure, she found relief from the debilitating and constant pain that had followed her for 6 years. This is because Dr Chua was able to accurately identify the root cause of her pain, which was Cervical Facet Syndrome, and recommended Radiofrequency Facet Ablation as a treatment.
For the first two weeks after the procedure, Ms Ow experienced postoperative neck ache – a common side effect of the treatment. But after those two weeks, her pain no longer bothered her.
