Pain unit
The Pain Unit at Olympia Centro Médico Pozuelo specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with acute, chronic pain which is difficult to manage.
We have a multidisciplinary team that treats musculoskeletal, neuropathic and oncological pain using advanced treatments and minimally invasive techniques.
Our aim is to improve the patient’s quality of life with personalised, approachable and effective care.
Featured treatments
We offer advanced treatments based on the latest medical technologies and techniques. Our main treatments include:
Epidurolysis
A procedure to remove adhesions in the epidural space and improve nerve mobility, indicated in cases of post-surgical fibrosis or chronic low back pain.
Injections
A minimally invasive technique that involves the application of medications (anaesthetics, anti-inflammatories or corticosteroids) to joints, muscles or nerves to reduce inflammation and relieve pain.
Regenerative medicine
A set of advanced therapies, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cells, which stimulate the repair of damaged tissues, promoting natural regeneration and improving function in chronic or degenerative injuries.
Sports medicine
We specialise in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of pain resulting from musculoskeletal injuries and sports overload. Our approach combines advanced rehabilitation techniques, pain therapy and physical performance optimisation, enabling patients and athletes to recover safely and effectively.
Radiofrequency
Technique that uses heat generated by radio waves to modulate pain transmission in the affected nerves.
Epidural block
Injection of medication into the epidural space to reduce inflammation and relieve pain in the spine.
Joint block
Infiltration of drugs into specific joints, such as facet or sacroiliac joints, to reduce pain and improve mobility.
Transforaminal block
Administration of drugs near the nerve root at the exit of the spinal cord, relieving radicular pain (sciatica, low back pain, etc.).
Caudal block
Injection into the sacral hiatus to treat low back and sciatic pain, especially in patients with epidural fibrosis.
Epiduroscopy
Minimally invasive technique that allows visualisation of the epidural space with a microcamera and treatment of conditions such as adhesions or inflammation.
Neurostimulation
Use of low-intensity electrical impulses to modulate pain perception in patients with chronic neuropathic pain.
Nerve block
Infiltration of anaesthetics and anti-inflammatories into specific nerves to interrupt pain transmission.
Posterior cord stimulation system implant
An implanted device that sends electrical impulses to the spinal cord to block the sensation of pain.
Intradiscal procedure with Resadisc
A minimally invasive technique that uses radiofrequency to treat degenerated or herniated intervertebral discs.
Neurostimulation system implant
Placement of a device that stimulates nerves or the spinal cord to reduce chronic pain.
Radicular block
Injection of anaesthetics and anti-inflammatories into the affected nerve root to relieve neuropathic and radicular pain.
