Minimally invasive & Image-guided nerve root blocks for nerve pain down your leg (sciatica) or down your arm (brachialgia)
Minimally invasive & Image-guided facet joint blocks for back pain
Radiofrequency denervation of facets (rhizolysis) for back pain

We routinely offer carpal tunnel release surgery, and ulnar nerve decompression, for patients, usually under a local anaesthetic to allow for a quick and efficient recovery.
