Pain Medicine – Ultrasound Guided Techniques

Pain is undoubtedly one of the greatest difficulties that doctors encounter in guiding the rehabilitation of an amateur or professional athlete, as well as managing the chronic pain of our patients;

Having worked at the hospital for special surgery in New York and at the FIFA reference centre – Espregueira Mendes at the Estádio do Dragão, our doctors specialise in minimally invasive techniques guided by ultrasound in the treatment of pain;
