Dr. Ariche founded and leads the Anesthesia and Pain Relief Department at Assutah Ashdod Hospital. "Pain, whether acute or chronic, is a symptom that negatively affects the quality of life and functional abilities. There are various pain treatment methods: injections under imaging navigation (X-ray, ultrasound), medication, physical methods (such as physiotherapy), alternative medicine, medical hypnosis, and others. I believe it's necessary to develop and customize an individual treatment plan for each patient, using different treatment methods and their combinations according to needs."
