Bulk Billed Pain Injections in Albany Creek
Sacrococcygeal Joint & Ganglion Impar Injections
What Are Sacrococcygeal Joint & Ganglion Impar Injections?
These injections are used to treat chronic tailbone and pelvic pain. They target either the sacrococcygeal joint or the ganglion impar, a nerve centre involved in lower pelvic pain. They’re often recommended when treatments like physiotherapy or medication haven’t provided relief.
Precise Pain Relief with CT Guidance
We use real-time CT imaging to guide the needle with accuracy. This ensures the medication reaches the exact source of pain. The injection usually includes local anaesthetic and an anti-inflammatory.
Comfortable, Low-Dose Procedure
The procedure is quick and minimally invasive. We use local anaesthetic to reduce discomfort. CT technology allows for low-dose imaging and careful monitoring throughout.
Effective and Diagnostic
These injections can reduce or eliminate chronic pain in the coccyx or pelvis. They can also help confirm whether the pain originates from the joint or nerve. Many patients experience improved mobility and a better quality of life.
