Your Trusted Pain Relief Specialists
At our pain clinic, we blend precise imaging with personalised treatment plans, helping people with chronic pain get clarity, relief pathways, and coordinated care that fits into everyday life.
Finding the right support for lingering pain can be confusing. If you’ve ever done a Google search for a “pain clinic near me”, you might know how fragmented the options feel with separate imaging centres, different specialists, and multiple referrals. At Carescan’s Pain Clinic, we bring these pieces together in one place so you can get a full picture and streamlined care.
Drawing on tried and tested multidisciplinary approaches where pharmacotherapy, interventional procedures, physical therapy, and rehabilitation all work in tandem, we assess chronic and complex pain with modern imaging tools and clinical insight. In most cases, this means we identify the source of pain clearly and tailor treatment options rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. Our team works closely with your referring clinician. Where image-guided intervention is appropriate, we can perform ultrasound or CT-guided corticosteroid injections that aim to reduce inflammation and improve function. Many procedures are complementary and don’t incur extra out-of-pocket charges, easing the pathway for patients who have already dealt with months or years of discomfort. Follow-up imaging and care help ensure progress is tracked and adjustments made as necessary.
Whether you’re dealing with spine-related pain, nerve irritation, or persistent discomfort after injury, we strive to give you more than temporary relief.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of pain are treated at your pain clinic in Sydney? →
At our pain clinic we commonly assess spinal pain, joint-related pain, nerve irritation, post-injury pain, and persistent musculoskeletal conditions. Using imaging, we can localise pain generators more accurately. In many cases, this helps avoid broad or repeated treatments that don’t address the underlying issue.
How does image-guided pain treatment work? →
Image-guided techniques use ultrasound or CT to visualise the exact structure being treated. This allows injections to be placed with greater precision. Compared to landmark-based methods, image guidance usually improves accuracy, reduces tissue irritation, and may lower the need for repeat procedures.
What types of injections are commonly performed? →
Depending on findings, we may perform corticosteroid injections, nerve root blocks, facet joint injections, or soft tissue injections. The choice depends on imaging results and clinical history. Some variation in response is normal, and follow-up imaging can help guide next steps if symptoms persist.
Is imaging always required before treatment? →
In most cases, yes. Imaging helps confirm the pain source before intervention, reduces guesswork and supports safer, more targeted treatment. At Carescan, imaging and procedures often occur during the same visit, which many patients find more efficient.
Do I need a referral to attend the pain clinic? →
Yes, a referral from your GP or specialist is required. This allows us to align imaging findings with your clinical background and communicate results back to your referring doctor for continuity of care.
How long does a pain clinic appointment take? →
Appointment times vary depending on imaging and treatment needs. Many visits are completed within a single session, including assessment, imaging, and intervention if appropriate. You’ll be advised upfront if additional follow-up is likely.
Are these procedures painful? →
Most procedures are well tolerated. You may feel pressure or mild discomfort during injection, but image guidance helps minimise unnecessary tissue contact. Some soreness afterward is normal and usually settles within a few days.
Is there a recovery period after treatment? →
Recovery is typically short. Most patients return to normal activities the same or next day, depending on the procedure. We provide clear aftercare advice and let your referring doctor know if activity modification is recommended.
What We Need To Know?
Where is your pain located? →
Be specific about the area, side, and whether pain travels or changes with movement. This helps determine which imaging technique is most useful.
How long have you had the pain? →
Duration matters as it helps determine the nature of the pain and therefore, the appropriate treatment plan. For instance, acute, subacute, and chronic pain often require different assessment pathways and treatment planning.
Have you had previous imaging or treatment? →
Prior scans, injections, or surgery provide valuable context and can assist with the entire diagnosis and treatment. Bring reports if available so we can avoid unnecessary repeat imaging.
Are there activities that worsen or relieve the pain? →
Everyday triggers like sitting, lifting, or sleeping positions can offer important clues about the pain source. During the consultation, we will go through these aspects and details, ensuring we have a clear understanding of your situation.
