Wherever the pain starts, the plan is the same — find the structure generating it first, treat it second. Everything below is done without surgery, under local anaesthetic, as day care.

Osteoarthritis, meniscal tears and ligament pain
The commonest reason people come to Halcyon. Depending on what the scan shows, the answer may be cooled radiofrequency of the genicular nerves, a regenerative injection, or prolotherapy. Advanced grade 4 arthritis with joint deformity is the one case where a replacement is still the right answer — and you will be told that plainly.

Facet joint, disc and sacroiliac pain
Low back pain can come from the facet joints, a disc or the sacroiliac joint, and those need different treatments. A diagnostic block is usually done first to prove which one it is, and the treatment follows from that.

Facet joint, disc and muscular neck pain
Neck pain is usually facet joint or disc related. A medial branch block identifies the joint involved, and cervical facet radiofrequency treats it if the block confirms the source.

Frozen shoulder and rotator cuff injury
Frozen shoulder and rotator cuff problems are treated with a suprascapular nerve block, hydrodilatation or a regenerative injection, depending on what the ultrasound shows — usually alongside a movement programme, so the range comes back.

Leg pain radiating from a compressed nerve root
Pain running from the back into the leg usually means a nerve root is being compressed. Treatment is a transforaminal or epidural injection placed under imaging, aimed at the root that is actually irritated rather than at the whole area.

A herniated disc pressing on a nerve root
In most cases a herniated disc is treated with an image-guided epidural injection rather than surgery. The scan and a diagnostic block confirm which level is involved before anything is done.

Bursitis, labral tears and an arthritic hip
Hip pain from bursitis, a labral tear or an arthritic joint is treated with an image-guided injection into the exact structure involved. The hip sits deep enough that guidance matters more here than almost anywhere else.

Tendon, ligament and overuse injury
The injury is scanned to grade the damage, then treated with regenerative therapy or prolotherapy so the tissue heals rather than just quietens down. Return-to-sport timing is planned with you rather than handed to you.

Sudden electric pain across one side of the face
When medication no longer controls the pain, radiofrequency ablation of the affected branch offers lasting relief. It is worth being assessed early — trigeminal neuralgia rarely settles on its own.

Tennis elbow, carpal tunnel and de Quervain’s
Usually treated with nerve hydrodissection or a regenerative injection — freeing or repairing the structure rather than releasing it surgically. Ultrasound-guided fluid separates a trapped nerve from the tissue pressing on it, and the nerve itself is left intact.

Plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinitis
Heel pain that is worst on the first steps of the morning is usually plantar fasciitis; pain behind the ankle is often Achilles tendinitis. Both respond to prolotherapy or a regenerative injection placed under ultrasound.

Age-related wear through the cervical spine
The wear itself shows on almost every scan after a certain age, so the scan alone does not make the diagnosis. A medial branch block is used to prove that the worn facet joints are what is actually hurting, and cervical facet radiofrequency treats them if it does.

01
The consultant works out which structure is likely to be generating the pain — which is often not the place you feel it. Referred pain from the back to the leg, or from the neck to the arm, is the rule rather than the exception.
02
The suspected joint, tendon or nerve is scanned in the same room. The scan is used twice: first to find the pain generator, then to guide the needle exactly where it needs to go.
03
Where several structures could explain the same pain — the low back especially — a small diagnostic block is done first to prove which one it is. The treatment then follows from that answer, not from a guess.
Sudden weakness in a limb, loss of bladder or bowel control, or back pain with fever needs to be seen urgently — go to a hospital emergency department now rather than booking a slot here. If you are not sure, call +91 77880 91092 and ask.
That is what the first appointment is for. Bring any recent X-ray, MRI or scan reports — they often save a second visit.
