Effective Pain Management
At IOC, we offer a variety of minimally invasive procedures (aka pinhole surgical procedures) to comprehensively manage pain, often guided by advanced imaging techniques such as X-rays, CT scans, ultrasound, or MRI. These procedures target the root cause of your pain—whether it's from cancer, arthritis, chronic back issues, or other conditions.
What is Interventional Radiology?
Interventional Radiology (IR) is a specialised field of medicine that uses imaging techniques such as X-rays, ultrasound, CT scans, and MRI to guide minimally invasive procedures. These procedures are performed using small incisions or catheters, reducing the need for traditional open surgery.
IR is commonly used to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions, including blocked arteries, tumors, organ drainage issues, and chronic pain. It plays a crucial role in areas like vascular intervention, oncology, and pain management. By offering targeted treatments with reduced recovery times, interventional radiology provides patients with safer and more effective alternatives to conventional surgery.
