PAin MAnAGEMEnT AT MuH<br />
<strong>Macquarie</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong> has recently<br />
purchased a Pain Management<br />
Radiofrequency Generator. This will allow<br />
the hospital to offer a range of interventional<br />
pain management procedures in the<br />
angiography suite including radiofrequency<br />
facet joint denervation.<br />
Up to 25% of low back pain and 50% of<br />
post-whiplash neck pain arises from the<br />
spinal facet joints. Radiofrequency lesioning<br />
of the facet joint nerves is a minimally<br />
invasive procedure that has been proven to<br />
be an effective treatment for these<br />
extremely common types of pain.<br />
Dr lewis Holford will head up the area. He is<br />
an interventional Pain Medicine Specialist.<br />
If you require any further information<br />
regarding these services please contact<br />
Dr Holford on 1300 622 782.<br />
