General Information
Pain management refers to a multidisciplinary approach aimed at reducing or controlling chronic or acute pain. It involves various techniques such as medications, physical therapy, injections, nerve blocks, acupuncture, and other modalities to help manage and alleviate pain.
We treat a wide range of pain conditions, including chronic back pain, neck pain, arthritis, joint pain, fibromyalgia, migraines, sports injuries, post-surgical pain, nerve pain (neuropathy), and cancer-related pain.
Physiotherapy helps in rehabilitating and managing pain through exercises, stretches, and physical modalities like heat, cold therapy, ultrasound, and TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation).

Physiotherapy Services
Physiotherapy involves a range of treatments aimed at improving movement, reducing pain, and enhancing overall function. Techniques may include manual therapy, exercise prescriptions, postural correction, and specialized devices to help reduce pain and prevent its recurrence.
Physiotherapy can treat various conditions, including musculoskeletal injuries, joint pain, post-surgical rehabilitation, sports injuries, arthritis, posture-related pain, back and neck pain, and neurological conditions.
Typically, a physiotherapy session lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment plan. Sessions are scheduled based on your specific needs, and the physiotherapist will monitor your progress and adjust the treatment accordingly.
Pain Relief and Physiotherapy Programs
The time it takes to feel relief depends on the type and severity of the pain, as well as the treatment plan. Chronic conditions may take longer to show improvement, while acute pain often responds quicker to pain management techniques and physiotherapy.
The duration of physiotherapy depends on your condition. Some patients may require only a few weeks of therapy, while others with chronic conditions may need long-term care. Your physiotherapist will guide you through the process and help you reach your recovery goals.
Appointments and Treatment Plans
A referral is not required for most consultations. You can book an appointment directly with our Pain Management or Physiotherapy Departments. However, some insurance plans may require a referral, so it’s good to check with your provider.
Each treatment plan is personalized based on your condition, medical history, and lifestyle. During your initial consultation, our specialists will assess your pain, perform necessary tests, and collaborate with you to create a tailored approach that aligns with your recovery goals.
The frequency of physiotherapy sessions will depend on your condition and treatment progress. Initially, you may need to visit 2-3 times a week, but this will be adjusted as you improve. Your physiotherapist will discuss the schedule with you and make recommendations based on your progress.
