The Reliv, a comprehensive pain management centre and a specialised facility for management of chronic cancer pain, has opened its first centre in Bengaluru.

The facility is equipped with state-of-the-art medical equipment to deal with chronic pain, including back pain, neck pain, joint pain, cancer pain, headaches, neuropathy, and other unique pain conditions such as reflex sympathetic dystrophy.  The facility is managed by a team of experienced and qualified physicians.

“India has a high prevalence of chronic pain. People continue to suffer from debilitating pain for years without realising that effective technologies now exist beyond physical therapy and simple creams and ointments that can give them significant relief. The Reliv Pain Centre now offers the latest treatment facilities for effective and safe management of all types of chronic and intractable pain in any part of the body,” said Dr. Madhu Yelameli, founder director, Reliv Pain Centre.

The doctors at the Reliv are trained in the US and UK on the use of state-of-the-art technology and devices for managing pain arising due to any condition.

According to Dr BS Ajai Kumar, founder & chairman, HCG Group of Hospitals who was at the inauguration of the facility, there are many diseases like cancer where patients require a care to manage constant pain. In fact, pain management is an essential part of their recuperation. Unfortunately, pain is something that we neglect to manage, and it soon becomes an inseparable part of our life. India is lagging behind in not only how pain is perceived but also in how it is treated. It is therefore good to see Indian doctors trained in pain management coming together through the Reliv to enable patients benefit from pain management and contributes to the Indian healthcare industry.
