Occipital Nerve Block / Ablation
A targeted treatment for occipital neuralgia and chronic headache conditions, aiming to reduce pain signals from the occipital nerves and support longer‑lasting relief.
Cervical Epidural Steroid Injections
A focused injection that delivers anti‑inflammatory medication around irritated cervical nerves to help ease neck, shoulder or arm pain linked to nerve compression.
Sphenopalatine Ganglion Block
A minimally invasive procedure that calms the sphenopalatine ganglion to help ease certain facial pain and headache patterns.
Occipital Nerve Block / Ablation
A targeted treatment for occipital neuralgia and chronic headache conditions, aiming to reduce pain signals from the occipital nerves and support longer‑lasting relief.
Trigeminal Nerve Block
A targeted approach that applies local anaesthetic to branches of the trigeminal nerve to help reduce facial pain and nerve‑related discomfort.
Why Specialist Treatment for Head & Face Pain Matters
Head and facial pain can originate from multiple structures, including nerves, joints, muscles, and the cervical spine. Symptoms are often complex and may overlap, making accurate diagnosis essential. Specialist assessment helps identify the true source of pain and ensures that treatment is both targeted and effective.
Consultant-Led Assessment and Diagnosis
All patients are assessed by an experienced consultant pain specialist who carefully reviews symptoms, medical history, and relevant imaging. This thorough evaluation allows us to distinguish between nerve-related pain, joint dysfunction, and referred pain from the cervical spine, ensuring an accurate diagnosis from the outset.
Targeted, Evidence-Based Interventions
Our treatments are designed to act directly at the source of pain. Procedures such as nerve blocks, epidural injections, and facet joint treatments are performed using advanced imaging guidance, improving precision, safety, and clinical outcomes. Each intervention is selected based on individual need rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Focused on Long-Term Relief and Function
Our goal is not only to reduce pain but also to improve daily function and quality of life. Where appropriate, treatment plans may include follow-up procedures, rehabilitation advice, or long-term pain management strategies to support sustained improvement and prevent recurrence.
