National Hospital Pain Management Center

We proudly introduce the Pain Management Center at National Hospital. Our pain management center has successfully treated various conditions, ranging from arthritis to lower back pain that does not respond to conservative treatment or surgery.

Pain management addresses the following conditions:

1. Arthritis

What is Arthritis?

Arthritis is a condition where the joints become inflamed. This condition causes pain, swelling, stiffness, and limited movement in the affected joints.

Common symptoms include:

• Joint pain (can be constant or intermittent)
• Joint stiffness (often worse in the morning or after periods of inactivity)
• Swelling in the joints
• Redness and warmth around the joints
• Decreased range of motion (difficulty moving the joint fully)

2. Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain is a condition where the lower part of the spine experiences discomfort due to pain in the area between the lowest ribs and the top of the buttocks (the lumbar region).

Common signs of lower back pain include:

• Stiffness in the lower back
• Difficulty moving or standing upright
• Pain radiating to the buttocks, thighs, or legs
• Muscle spasms
• Additional warning signs to watch for:
• Severe pain that doesn’t improve with rest
• Pain accompanied by fever or unexplained weight loss
• Loss of bladder or bowel control
• Progressive weakness or numbness in the legs
• Numbness in the groin or buttock area ("saddle anesthesia")
• Pain following serious injury (fall, accident)
• History of cancer

3. Neck Pain
