Exact site, pattern & radiation to find the real source of your pain.
Severity & Impact
Validated pain scales (0–10) and effect on sleep, work and daily life.
Strength & Movement
Structured testing of muscle strength, range of motion and function.
Nerve Symptoms
Tingling, burning, numbness — and whether EMG/NCS testing is needed.

Relevant conditions, injuries, treatments tried and what did or did not work.
Personalised Plan
A clear plan with options you understand and a goal that matters to you.
Personalised, Non-Surgical Pain Management
Treatment is matched to your diagnosis and your goals — options are chosen after an individual assessment.
Smart Medication Review
The right medication at the right dose makes a real difference. We review what you are taking, remove what is not helping and add targeted options when needed.
- Review of current painkillers and medications
- Nerve-pain and muscle-pain targeted options
- Clear instructions on what, when and how long
- Follow-up to adjust the plan as pain improves
Image-Guided Pain Injections
When pain is coming from a specific joint or nerve, precise injections can offer fast, lasting relief without surgery.
- Joint and soft-tissue injections
- Trigger-point injections for muscle pain
- Nerve blocks for radiating pain
- Done safely with image guidance when needed
Rehabilitation & Physiotherapy
Movement is medicine. A structured rehabilitation plan rebuilds strength and function so pain does not come back.
- Posture correction and ergonomic advice
- Strength and mobility programme
- Supervised exercise where needed
- Return-to-work and return-to-sport goals
Lifestyle & Self-Management
Sleep, stress, movement and daily habits all shape pain. Small changes in the right places can quietly make a big difference.
- Sleep & stress strategies
- Activity pacing to avoid flare-ups
- Nutrition and weight guidance where relevant
- Tools to manage pain between appointments
EMG & Nerve Testing
If nerves are involved, EMG/NCS testing finds exactly where the problem is — so treatment targets the real cause.
- Diagnoses radiculopathy, neuropathy, carpal tunnel
- Measures nerve function objectively
- Guides whether surgery is really needed
- Clear results explained in plain language
