Our commitment to patient care

More than 60 minimally invasive techniques to relieve pain

Most advanced techniques: Neuromodulation

In Valencia, we offer innovative and minimally invasive neuromodulation techniques such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, which allows us to alter the pain signal before it reaches the brain, providing relief.

Effective treatment for disc herniation pain without surgery

Thanks to the Discolux laser, we can treat lumbar or cervical disc herniations in a minimally invasive way. This treatment offers multiple benefits compared to traditional techniques: it is outpatient, safer, and recovery is faster.

Latest technology in Diagnostic Imaging

We have the latest technology in diagnostic imaging (e.g. 3-Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging), enabling us to make an accurate diagnosis.

The most comprehensive Pain Unit portfolio

The more than 60 minimally invasive interventional techniques, including the latest advances in neuromodulation, ozone therapy or cryoanalgesia, allow us to provide each patient with the most effective treatment plan for their case and stage.

Pain Unit Frequently Asked Questions

What is a pain unit and when should I attend?
When should I go to the pain unit?
Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for treatment effectiveness. The sooner an appropriate treatment is applied to the type of pain and to the patient, the better the results will be.

You should attend the Pain Unit if:
- You have experienced persistent or recurrent pain for more than three months
- The pain is affecting your quality of life, sleep or emotional wellbeing
- You have received treatments without improvement
- You suffer from pain following surgery, injury or conditions such as cancer
At our Pain Unit in Valencia, we help identify the underlying cause of pain and provide comprehensive relief, addressing not only the physical symptoms but also the emotional impact it may have on your life.
What conditions does the Pain Unit treat?
In the Pain Unit we use advanced techniques to relieve pain, always adapted to the needs of each patient.

Some common treatments include:
- Image-guided injections
- Nerve blocks
- Radiofrequency to deactivate the pain signal
- Specialised pharmacological therapy
- Electrical nerve stimulation (neuromodulation)
- Cryoanalgesia, which uses controlled cold to reduce the sensitivity of the affected nerves
- Ozone therapy, which uses medical ozone with anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties
We work in an integrated way, combining pain medicine with functional, emotional and physical approaches.
Does the Pain Unit cure pain or only relieve symptoms?
What conditions does the Pain Unit treat?
We treat a wide range of clinical conditions that present with persistent pain. Among the most common are:
- Low back pain, sciatica and disc herniations
- Cervical and joint pain
- Neuralgias (trigeminal, intercostal…)
- Complex regional pain syndrome
- Oncological pain
- Post-surgical pain
- Fibromyalgia
- Pain due to osteoarthritis or rheumatic diseases
If pain is affecting your daily life, whatever its cause, we can help you manage it.
What is the first consultation like in the Pain Unit?
During the first consultation, the medical team carries out a comprehensive assessment of the patient, including a review of their medical history and a physical examination. The aim is to understand the type of pain, its duration and intensity, and how it affects daily life.

In some cases, the specialist may request additional diagnostic tests (such as MRI, CT or electromyography) to determine the origin of the pain more precisely.

With all this information, we develop a personalised therapeutic plan with a multidisciplinary approach that may combine:
- Pharmacological treatment
- Minimally invasive techniques
- Psychological or emotional support, when necessary
The Pain Unit specialist will support you throughout the entire process, monitoring your progress and adjusting the treatment plan to achieve the greatest possible effectiveness and a progressive improvement in your quality of life.
