The timing and duration of pain relief vary depending on your injection type. During your consultation, your consultant will explain the expected outcomes for your specific treatment.
Before Your Treatment:
At LivingCare, we assess each patient individually to create a bespoke treatment plan. During your consultation, our medical team will review your pain history, its impact on your daily life, and any previous treatments you've tried. We'll consider your medical history and current medications to develop the most appropriate treatment approach. You'll need to arrange transport home, as driving isn't recommended after these procedures.
During Your Treatment:
Your treatment will be performed by a consultant working alongside a skilled team including nurses, radiographers and healthcare assistants. The procedure typically takes around 20 minutes, and you'll be positioned appropriately for your treatment. We use advanced imaging technology to ensure precise injection delivery and local anaesthetic to maintain your comfort throughout the procedure.
After Your Treatment:
Following your procedure, you'll spend about 30 minutes in our recovery area, where our team will monitor you and provide refreshments. Before you leave, we'll give you detailed aftercare instructions and emergency contact information. Each specific treatment has its recovery guidelines, which your consultant will discuss with you.
