Anaesthesia / Pain clinic
At our pain clinic, we give epidural infiltrations, where an anti-inflammatory and analgesic is injected into the epidural space of the back. This reduces inflammation in irritated nerve roots, helping to relieve pain and improve range of motion.

What investigations are part of anaesthesia and pain management?
At Doctor's House Antverpia, we perform various tests to assess your general health and anaesthesia risks. Which tests are necessary depends on your complaints and medical history. We always ensure a personalised approach, with attention to your comfort and safety. In doubt about whether an examination is necessary? We are here for you.
Clinical research
Clinical examination is a medical evaluation in which a doctor assesses a patient's health through physical examination, tests and a medical interview. The aim is to detect possible conditions and make a diagnosis.
Epidural infiltrations
This treatment involves injecting a combination of an anti-inflammatory drug and a painkiller directly into your back. This helps to relieve your pain symptoms.
When to have an examination at the anaesthesia or pain clinic?
Do you suffer from persistent pain, chronic back or neck pain, nerve pain or post-operative pain? A consultation with the anaesthetist or pain clinic can help relieve your pain symptoms and start the right treatment. Regular follow-up is important to treat pain effectively and prevent complications, such as:
Chronic pain - Long-term pain in the back, neck, joints or muscles can result from conditions such as osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia or nerve pain (neuropathy). Postoperative pain - Pain after surgery can vary in intensity and should be managed well to promote recovery. Nerve pain (neuropathic pain) - Burning, stabbing or tingling pain caused by nerve damage, such as in hernia, diabetic neuropathy or postherpetic neuralgia. Pain in cancer - Cancer pain can range from mild discomfort to severe, disabling pain and requires a multidisciplinary approach. Headache and facial pain - Migraines, cluster headaches or trigeminal neuralgia can have a major impact on daily life and require specialised treatments. Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) - Severe, prolonged pain after injury or surgery, often accompanied by swelling, temperature changes and tenderness in a limb. Pain due to vascular problems - Poor circulation can lead to severe pain in the legs (intermittent claudication) or other parts of the body. Anaesthesia guidance in surgery - Prior to surgery, the anaesthetist assesses your medical condition and chooses the most appropriate anaesthetic method to make the operation safe and comfortable.
Quick management of pain prevents worse

How does a consultation at the pain clinic go?
1. Intake & Anamnesis
At your initial consultation, the anaesthetist or pain specialist will discuss your symptoms, medical history, previous treatments and medication use. Your lifestyle and pain experience are also assessed to get a full picture of your situation.
2. Investigate
If necessary, we perform additional investigations, such as imaging (MRI, CT scan), nerve conduction studies or diagnostic infiltrations. These examinations help to better understand the cause of your pain symptoms and provide targeted treatment.
3. Discussion & treatment plan
Based on the findings, the doctor draws up a personalised treatment plan. This may include medication, infiltrations, nerve blocks or referral to other specialists such as physiotherapists or psychologists. You will receive a medical report and, if required, explanations via your eHealth file. Together, we strive for pain relief and a better quality of life.
We are here for you in case of persistent pain
Sometimes your body signals such as chronic pain, tingling, radiating pain or sensitivity. These symptoms may indicate nerve pain, joint problems or other pain syndromes that impede your daily functioning. At Doctor's House Antverpia, we take pain seriously. Our pain specialists examine the cause of your symptoms and draw up a personalised treatment plan to improve your quality of life. Together, we seek lasting relief.
