Pain Medicine

Since ages, pain has long been recognised as an underrated discipline of medicine striving for its due consideration. Now when global medical fraternity started recognising it as a separate facility, there has now been a wide spread acceptance of this fact. This adoption has led to the setup of the Department of Pain Medicine at Fortis Memorial Research Institute (FMRI).

The Division of Pain Medicine offers a multi-disciplinary, integrated approach to the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of painful conditions. The treatments offered at the Interventional Pain Clinic range from generic transformational neuroplasties, facet blocks to complex ozone discectomies, endoscopic discectomies and radiofrequency treatments for chronic and acute spine pain, cancer pain, trigeminal neuralgia and other chronic pain conditions.
