EPPING, VIC — December 4, 2025 — Vcare Radiology, a leading provider of diagnostic imaging services in Epping, is proud to announce the expansion of its specialized Interventional Radiology (IR) services. This new initiative focuses on delivering minimally invasive, image-guided treatments designed to help patients manage chronic pain effectively, offering a viable alternative to traditional surgery and long-term medication reliance.

Chronic pain affects a significant portion of the Australian population, often debilitating mobility and quality of life. For many residents in Melbourne’s northern suburbs, finding effective, non-surgical relief has historically required travel to major metropolitan hospitals. Vcare Radiology is bridging this gap by bringing advanced pain management solutions directly to the Epping community.

Precision Pain Relief Through Technology

The new suite of services utilizes state-of-the-art imaging technology, including CT and Ultrasound guidance, to perform procedures with high precision. By visualizing the internal structures in real-time, Vcare’s radiologists can deliver treatments directly to the source of pain.

"Our goal is to provide patients with rapid, safe, and effective pain relief that allows them to return to their daily lives faster," says the Lead Radiologist at Vcare Radiology. "Interventional radiology allows us to treat pain at its root cause with needle-hole precision, significantly reducing recovery times compared to open surgery."

Key Interventional Services Now Available:

Corticosteroid Injections: Targeted anti-inflammatory injections for joint pain, bursitis, and tendonitis.

Nerve Root Sleeve Injections: specialized procedures for patients suffering from sciatica and spinal nerve pain.

Facet Joint Injections: Targeted relief for arthritis-related back and neck pain.

Hydrodilatation: A therapeutic procedure primarily used for treating "frozen shoulder" (adhesive capsulitis).

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: Regenerative injection therapy that uses the patient’s own platelets to accelerate healing in injured tendons and joints.

Many of these interventional procedures are available with Bulk Billing or low out-of-pocket costs, ensuring that financial barriers do not prevent patients from accessing necessary pain management.
