Pain Management

Department of Pain Management at Jaslok Hospital & Research Centre

Modern medical care implies that if a condition cannot be cured, one should at the very least try to lessen one's suffering by making symptoms bearable. This is precisely what the specialization of chronic pain treatment strives to achieve. It has the potential to significantly enhance patients' quality of life by reducing pain, which is one of the most painful symptoms.

Jaslok Hospital & Research Centre, one of Mumbai's 1st complete multidisciplinary pain clinics, was created two decades ago and is unique in offering the entire gamut of minimally invasive pain and spine procedures (MIPSIs).

Each patient's demands for pain management are met through individualized treatment that is delivered from a holistic perspective. Treatments are available to lessen pain intensity, enhance coping and quality of life, and boost physical functioning. Through education and assistance with coping, family members can participate in the therapeutic process.

To provide interdisciplinary and well-coordinated care, the pain medicine team will collaborate with the primary care physician for each patient. Other medical professionals with different expertise may also be involved in this care.
