Specialist Interests

Treatment of Chronic Pain has always been a passion and Dr Egeler can advise on all aspects of Chronic Pain conditions, for example back pain or neck pain, CRPS (also known as RSD), neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, nerve entrapment syndromes or postsurgical pain. This includes diagnosis, medication and general pain management. He offers a complete range of injection therapy ranging from trigger point injections to epidural, facet joint and nerve root injections, peripheral nerve blocks and joint injections. Most injections are performed under Ultrasound guidance, some by using XRay.

Regional Anaesthesia or Nerve blocks for surgical procedures is an integral part of Dr Egeler's practice and he offers regional anaesthesia under Ultrasound guidance for all upper and lower limb surgery, either as the sole anaesthetic or in combination with general anaesthesia.
