What causes lower back pain?

Lower back pain can result from multiple causes including:

  • Muscle or ligament strain

Standard treatment options may include:

What are the challenges with typical approaches?

  • Many patients find exercises tiring or painful

Trigeminal Neuralgia Treatment in Singapore – FAQs

What is trigeminal neuralgia?

Trigeminal neuralgia is a nerve condition that causes sudden, severe facial pain along the trigeminal nerve. It’s often described as stabbing, electric shock-like pain affecting the jaw, cheek, teeth, or around the eyes.

What causes trigeminal neuralgia?

It is usually caused by nerve irritation — often from blood vessels pressing on the nerve, multiple sclerosis, or unknown reasons. Even minor triggers like wind, talking, or brushing teeth can provoke pain episodes.

What are the symptoms?

  • Sudden, intense facial pain on one side

  • Sharp or shock-like pain lasting seconds to minutes

  • Triggered by everyday actions like eating, touching the face, or speaking

  • Pain-free intervals followed by sudden flare-ups

How is trigeminal neuralgia diagnosed?

Diagnosis is based on clinical symptoms and sometimes imaging (like MRI) to rule out underlying structural causes or nerve compression.

What are common treatments?

Conventional approaches include:

  • Anticonvulsants (e.g., carbamazepine, gabapentin)

  • Tricyclic antidepressants

  • Injections or nerve blocks

  • Surgery (e.g., microvascular decompression, radiofrequency ablation)

What are the challenges with standard treatments?

  • Medications may cause drowsiness, dizziness, or drug tolerance

  • Pain often recurs

  • Surgical risks include numbness, infection, or incomplete relief

  • Many patients are hesitant to undergo invasive procedures

How does The Pain Relief Practice approach trigeminal neuralgia?

  • HotHeal Therapy Protocol — pioneered at our clinic, combining manual techniques and non-invasive radiofrequency to calm nerve irritation

These options are particularly suited for patients who’ve had limited success with medications or are reluctant to undergo surgery.

Is the treatment painful?

No. Our protocols are non-invasive and well tolerated, even in patients with facial sensitivity.

When is surgery necessary?

Surgery is considered only when conservative options fail. We regularly provide second opinions for patients exploring surgical procedures or those with uncertain diagnoses.

Post-Herpetic Neuralgia Treatment in Singapore – FAQs

What is post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN)?

PHN is long-term nerve pain that occurs after a shingles (herpes zoster) outbreak. Even after the rash resolves, nerve damage can lead to persistent burning, stabbing, or electric-like pain.

What causes PHN?

PHN results from damage to sensory nerves during a shingles infection. These nerves may continue to misfire, causing pain that lasts months or even years after the rash heals.

What are common symptoms?

  • Burning or sharp nerve pain in the affected area

  • Sensitivity to light touch (even from clothing)

  • Tingling, numbness, or skin irritation

  • Pain worsened by temperature or stress

  • Sleep and mood disturbances

How long does PHN last?

Some patients recover within 3–6 months, but others may have symptoms for a year or more. Early intervention improves outcomes.

What are typical treatments for PHN?

Doctors often prescribe:

  • Antivirals (during shingles phase)

  • Painkillers, antidepressants, or anti-epileptic medications

  • Topical creams or lidocaine patches

  • Nerve blocks

What are the limitations of conventional treatments?

  • Pain relief may be temporary or incomplete

  • Side effects from long-term medications

  • Some patients experience medication resistance

  • Nerve blocks may wear off or require repetition

How does The Pain Relief Practice manage PHN differently?

We focus on non-invasive nerve repair therapies that reduce sensitivity and inflammation:

  • Shockwave therapy to improve microcirculation and stimulate tissue healing

  • HotHeal Therapy Protocol — pioneered by our clinic — using manual therapy and non-invasive radiofrequency for pain modulation

  • Pioneered Home Therapy Protocol, which combines:

    • FDA-approved PEMF therapy (backed by Oxford Journal studies)

    • Regenerix Gold — a premium supplement supporting nerve and joint repair

    • Korean transdermal technology for deep skin-layer delivery

These options are ideal for patients who want to avoid long-term medication use or are seeking alternatives after limited results elsewhere.

Are these treatments painful or invasive?

No. They are non-invasive and well-tolerated, even for patients with extreme skin sensitivity.

When is surgery needed?

Surgery is rarely recommended for PHN. However, we provide second opinions for patients considering invasive procedures or who have persistent unresolved pain.

Why choose The Pain Relief Practice for PHN?

  • Over 15 years of clinical experience at Shaw House

  • Pioneered proprietary HotHeal and Home Therapy Protocols

  • More effective and affordable alternatives to long-term medication
