I have had injections performed by Miss Poply. I found her extremely professional, kind, caring and polite. She has a very good reputation and it is shown immediately when you meet her. On the day of my injections she assured me and relieved any anxiety I had. I was very pleased with her and her care. I will be going back if I need further treatment. Kevin M

I recently visited Dr. poply for pain management, and I have to say, it was a refreshing experience. From the moment I walked in, I was made to feel at ease. Dr. poply took the time to listen to my concerns and really understood what a I was going through. She had clearly read my notes and explained why I'm experiencing pain. She explained my treatment options clearly and helped me understand the short and long term options that would be right for me. I appreciated that throughout the process, she was patient and informative. It felt great to have someone who genuinely cares about helping their patients. I would definitely recommend Dr. poply to anyone looking for compassionate and effective management.

Very highly recommended - Dr Poply expertly gave me the answers and understanding I urgently needed. She took the time and care to explain things very clearly, kindly, and thoroughly - this makes such a difference when you're experiencing pain and distress. I was really overjoyed and so relieved to have a way forward again, with options for treatment. A real star - hugely appreciated.

    Know More

Neuromodulation refers to minimally invasive therapies that use electrical stimulation or infusions to modify nerve activity. Dr Poply offers spinal cord stimulation (SCS), multifidus and peripheral nerve stimulators, occipital nerve stimulation, as well as advanced pharmacologic infusions (e.g., intravenous lignocaine) and Anti CGRP treatment.

  • Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS): For back pain, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, CRPS, osteoarthritic pains.
  • Dorsal Root Ganglion stimulator: CRPS, Back pain, Pelvic, abdominal, knee and ankle pain
  • Multifidus stimulation: Non-specific mechanical back pain
  • Peripheral Nerve Stimulation: Targeted for shoulder, hip, ankle pains.
  • Occipital Nerve Stimulation: For chronic migraine and cluster headaches.
  • Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): For facet joint pain, knee and intercostal nerve-related pains.
  • Anti-CGRP Therapies: Can be considered as part of neuromodulation for refractory headaches and migraines.

Assessment: Detailed history and examination to confirm diagnosis.

Diagnostic Blocks: Medial branch, dorsal root, stellate ganglion, or peripheral nerve blocks to predict response as deemed appropriate.

Radiofrequency ablation or Pulse radiofrequency- Step up procedure as deemed appropriate

Neuromodulation- In certain cases as deemed appropriate within advance treatment option

Follow-up & Programming: Individualized stimulator programming for optimal pain control.

Ideal candidates are adults with chronic, refractory pain that has not responded adequately to conventional medical or surgical treatments. A multidisciplinary evaluation ensures suitability and maximises positive outcomes.

Apart from usual surgical risk of infection, bruise and bleeding, lead fracture, displacement, malfunction, transient changes in stimulation and remote chance of CSF leak and nerve damage exists. Chance of spinal cord injury and meningitis is rare. Comprehensive counselling on benefits versus risks is provided prior to any procedure.
