Pain Treatment
Pain Management
Effective pain management is essential to quality of life and treatment success. St. George Hospital uses a multimodal approach that combines conventional pain medicine with integrative therapies to address both the symptoms and underlying causes of pain.
What it is
What Is Integrative Pain Management?
Pain management at St. George Hospital goes beyond prescribing medication. We recognize that chronic pain often involves multiple contributing factors, including inflammation, nerve damage, muscular dysfunction, toxic burden, and psychological distress. Our approach addresses these layers simultaneously using a combination of therapies tailored to each patient’s pain profile.
How it works
How Does It Work?
Our pain management protocols may include medical pain therapy (appropriate pharmacological intervention), neural therapy and local injections, acupuncture, TENS and electrotherapy, manual therapy and physiotherapy, psychological pain management techniques, anti-inflammatory infusion therapy, and hyperthermia for pain-related conditions. The approach is always multimodal and individualized.

That depends on your findings, not on the therapy. Send what you have with a short history; a physician reads it before the video call and tells you whether this treatment belongs in your program.
