Treatments

Four interventional pathways. Not a scalpel between them.

Lasting pain rarely starts where it hurts. Halcyon finds the source, then treats it without surgery — every procedure image-guided, under local anaesthetic, as day care.

Regenerative Medicine at Halcyon Pain Management Centre

Regenerative Medicine

Growth Factor Concentrate

A small sample of the patient’s own blood is drawn, its growth factors concentrated, and placed under ultrasound exactly where the tissue has worn. The body does the repairing.

It works by prompting the body to repair the tissue rather than by masking the pain, which is why it is used where a structure has worn or torn rather than where a nerve is simply firing. Nothing foreign is introduced — the concentrate comes from a sample taken on the day.

Radiofrequency Ablation at Halcyon Pain Management Centre

Radiofrequency Ablation

Interrupting the pain signal

A precise current interrupts the nerve carrying the pain signal. For knee pain Halcyon uses the US FDA-cleared COOLIEF cooled RF system.

It is never the first thing done. A diagnostic block has to confirm that the nerve in question is the one carrying the pain before it is treated — in the neck and low back that means a medial branch block first, and radiofrequency only if the block confirms the source.

Prolotherapy at Halcyon Pain Management Centre

Prolotherapy

Restarting the repair response

A natural irritant is injected into a slack ligament or tendon to restart the body’s own repair response. A short course of small injections, with minimal downtime — some soreness for a day or two is normal.

The aim is a ligament or tendon that holds again rather than one that has simply been quietened, so it suits the slack, overused and partly healed structures — the heel, the Achilles, a knee that gives way — more than it suits a worn joint surface.

Nerve Hydrodissection & Nerve Blocks at Halcyon Pain Management Centre

Nerve Hydrodissection & Nerve Blocks

Freeing and quietening a nerve

Ultrasound-guided fluid separates a trapped nerve from the tissue pressing on it. Relief often begins on the table, and the nerve itself is left intact.

Nerve blocks are the other half of this pathway, and they are used twice over: to treat a nerve that is firing, and to prove where the pain is coming from before anything else is done. A block that settles the pain is the strongest evidence available that the right structure has been found.

The names you will actually hear on the day of your appointment.

The four pathways above are delivered as specific, named procedures. These are the ones that come up most often, and what each is for.

Which of these you are offered is decided by the scan and the block, not by a menu — how that decision is made is set out with the conditions.

What none of the four will ask you to go through.

  • No scalpel — every procedure here is image-guided through a needle
  • No general anaesthetic — you stay awake and talking throughout
  • No hospital admission and no overnight stay
  • No second appointment to get the scan read — it is done in the room

Where this stops

Halcyon is a non-surgical centre, and there is one case where that is not the right answer: advanced grade 4 knee arthritis with joint deformity, where a replacement is still what the joint needs.

You will be told that plainly at the consultation rather than treated anyway. How long relief lasts also varies with the condition and how worn the joint is — which is why the diagnostic scan comes first, and why the consultant gives you a realistic answer for your case rather than a number that fits everyone.

The scan decides which one.

Book a consultation and the diagnostic ultrasound happens in the same appointment. Bring any recent X-ray, MRI or scan reports you already have.
