  • Arthritis is a joint disease that leads to pain and trouble moving. To help manage pain, improve mobility, and enhance everyday living, our pain experts team up with rheumatologists and psychiatrists.
  • Back pain affects many people. It sometimes happens due to overusing muscles or straining them, but serious cases often involve pinched nerves or herniated spinal discs. Our specialists identify the causes and create plans to treat all kinds of back pain.
  • Cancer and its treatments may lead to painful side effects. At KIMSHEALTH, Trivandrum our pain management team collaborates with cancer specialists to address these issues.
  • Complex regional pain syndrome, or CRPS, is a long-term condition that leads to pain and swelling in the arms or legs after an injury or medical issue. Our team has the knowledge and training needed to help patients deal with CRPS-related pain.
  • Pain in the face and head often happens due to problems with one or more cranial nerves. To treat all kinds of nerve-related facial and head pain, our specialists in pain work with neurologists and facial plastic surgeons to create the best treatment plans.
  • Fibromyalgia affects soft tissues and leads to muscle pain and tiredness. The root cause is often unclear, so treatments aim to manage symptoms rather than the condition itself.
  • Headaches can feel mild or extreme and are often categorised as migraines, cluster headaches, or tension headaches. Our team partners with other experts to handle ongoing headache issues.
  • You might feel joint pain in various parts of your body, like the hips, knees, elbows, shoulders, or wrists. It is often caused by arthritis or other wear-and-tear conditions. At KIMSHEALTH, Trivandrum pain management experts team up with rheumatologists and orthopaedic specialists to find out what’s causing the joint pain and create a treatment plan that works.
  • Myofascial pain comes from the connective tissues surrounding muscles known as the fascia. This kind of pain feels like a dull ache, and certain areas called trigger points can be sensitive to touch.
  • Neuromuscular diseases like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), myasthenia gravis, muscular dystrophy and neuropathy can lead to ongoing pain. Our team focuses on pain management and collaborates with neurology specialists to ease the discomfort tied to these conditions.
  • Radicular pain happens when a nerve gets pinched in the neck, middle back, or lower back. This can lead to weakness, numbness, or pain that spreads to other areas. Herniated discs, ruptured discs, and spinal stenosis are the most frequent triggers for radicular pain.
  • The sciatic nerve, the body's largest, serves as the primary nerve in the leg. Sciatica happens when compression of this nerve leads to pain spreading along the back of one leg. Pain management doctors at KIMSHEALTH, Trivandrum team up with spine specialists to ease the discomfort tied to this issue.
