Injections
Dr Siva can use injections to alleviate pain, reduce swelling and improve joint functioning. These treatments can be administered directly into or near your affected joint for fast, effective relief.
Radiofrequency ablation
Orthopaedic surgeons use radiofrequency ablation to deactivate the nerves that send pain signals to and from the brain. This is a highly effective method to treat chronic pain.
Our expert orthopaedic surgeon in Kooyong can use non-surgical methods like exercise programs, injections and radiofrequency ablation to help alleviate joint pain.
