Services provided

Targeted treatments, delivered with precision

Advanced, evidence-based interventions to reduce pain, manage spasticity, and improve day-to-day function.

Ultrasound-guided botulinum toxin injections

Botulinum toxin therapy treats muscle hyperactivity disorders including dystonia, spasticity, cerebral palsy and hemifacial spasms. Ultrasound guidance ensures exact placement for greater effect and fewer side effects.

Intrathecal baclofen pump management

Intrathecal baclofen therapy delivers medication into the fluid around the spinal cord to manage severe spasticity. For long-term treatment, a pump is surgically placed, with a trial first to confirm suitability.

Ketamine infusions

Ketamine is used to treat neuropathic pain that hasn't responded to simpler medications, and can help reduce the amount of opioids required as part of a broader pain-management plan.

Nerve blocks

Nerve blocks are used for pain treatment and management. Pain in a specific region can often be blocked with a targeted injection of medications such as local anaesthetic and/or phenol.
