Why Manipal Hospitals?
Pain is a very personal issue. It is possible that two people having exactly the same imaging results will have completely different sensations, and what works perfectly well for one individual will have no effect on the other. At Manipal Hospital Hebbal, our pain physicians take the time to understand the character, triggers, and impact of your pain before proposing any intervention. They recognise that a needle directed at a nerve can bring profound relief, but only when the right nerve is targeted for the right reason. The trust patients place in our pain relief centre in Hebbal, Bangalore, rests on:
- A diagnostic method in which imaging findings are correlated with physical examination results to ensure that the procedure addresses the actual source of pain.
- The use of fluoroscopic and ultrasound-guided injections and nerve blocks.
- Care that medications, physical therapy, and coping mechanisms operate in conjunction with each other rather than functioning independently.
- The rehabilitation approach that seeks to restore functionality and improve quality of life, not just alleviate pain.

Frequently Asked Questions
When pain persists beyond three months despite primary care and basic analgesics, a specialist review is warranted. Our pain relief centre in Hebbal, Bangalore, evaluates whether a specific structural or neuropathic cause can be identified and treated with targeted intervention rather than ongoing medication alone.
This process entails a stinging sensation due to local anaesthesia, similar to that during a dental procedure. As soon as the numbing process is complete, patients report feeling pressure rather than anything else. The procedure itself is quick, and you can leave the hospital on the same day following a short observation.
This varies across patients and with the specific pathology they have, but it can range from a few weeks to several months. Diagnostic nerve blocks will provide temporary relief to identify the source of pain, while therapeutic nerve blocks will provide long-term relief.
Not always. Some issues only require one or two injections, particularly if there is a physical therapy routine that accompanies them. Arthritis can be treated more effectively with radiofrequency ablation. Your pain physician will outline a long-term plan rather than an endless series of procedures.
We suggest that you arrange for transportation to be driven home, especially if your procedure involves sedation or if the site of your injection is likely to affect your ability to control the steering wheel. If you have undergone a superficial injection without sedation, you might be able to drive home after some time.
