What Can Your Back Pain Clinic Do For Me?

Initially, our team examines the concerns you are facing with your back or neck. The doctors will involve you in a comprehensive medical examination and assessment.

We request that you provide any recent radiology investigations you may have done (X-rays, ultrasounds, CT scans, or MRIs) and any specialist medical reports. A clear and accurate diagnosis of your medical condition is paramount to the success of your rehabilitation program.

Our specialist exercise physiotherapist will participate in the follow-up to this assessment. We will formulate a plan to start you on your way back to better back health and general fitness. Additionally, there may be a need to involve our dietician to provide further input to your plan.

We aim to alleviate your pain and discomfort by promoting strategies to relieve you of that burden. It’s all about reaching the goal of less discomfort and the increased ability to do the things you need and want to do. That means more movement, more activity, and eventually, a more enjoyable life!
