Overview
Pain Care Specialist Clinic offers treatment for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions and sports injuries. We see any person aged ten years and above suffering from soft tissue or problems that are affecting a joint or the lower back. It is common for a patient to present with a sports injury or soft tissue problems, such as ligament sprains, bursitis, arthritis and tendinopathy at a consultation.
When you arrive for a consultation, you will be welcomed into the clinic by our musculoskeletal specialist. She will start by performing a thorough examination of the affected body part and discussing your symptoms with you. The examination will be followed with a diagnostic ultrasound scan that will identify any soft tissue damage, such as inflammation of a bursae, arthritis and tears in tendons, muscles or ligaments.
Once you have been examined, the musculoskeletal specialist will have a clinical discussion with you about your diagnosis and the different treatment options that are available to you. The specialist will outline an individualized treatment plan with you, whilst also offering general medical advice on your lifestyle to improve the efficacy of any possible treatment.
