Most procedures at IPSC can be done in a day-care setting compared to large hospitals
Interventional Pain and Spine Centre (IPSC) has launched its first centre in Bengaluru on Bellary Road at Shahkara Nagar. The new facility, equipped with modular operating theatres, is staffed with pain specialists skilled in minimally invasive techniques for the management of chronic pain of all types, including joint pain (knee, shoulder, neck, etc.), low back pain, slipped disc, spondylitis/sciatica, neurology pain, migraine, facial pain, rheumatic pain, and cancer-related pain. It also offers capabilities in the prevention and management of sports-related injuries. The centre’s regenerative department uses natural cells of the body to repair damaged tissues.
Said Dr (Maj) Pankaj N Surange, MD and CEO, IPSC, “IPSC offers minimally invasive and targets specific techniques with much less risk and trauma than conventional surgery for the management of spinal and chronic pain. For most cases of chronic pain, less invasive interventions are better alternatives to open surgical methods. They are also much safer and don’t require hospital admission. Since most of the procedures can be done in a daycare setting, we can reduce their cost to almost half compared to large hospitals. Patients can go back home the same day.”
Said Dr Swati Bhat, Director (South) with IPSC and Head, IPSC Varsity: “A facility like IPSC is much needed in Bengaluru. Interventional pain management helps treat the exact cause of pain with minimally invasive and non-surgical techniques. Early interventions not only relieve pain but also reduce morbidity and improve quality of life.”
