Medical Supplementation
Medical Supplements have long had an important role in the treatment of pain because they are generally considered to be safer and more holistic than many prescription medicines.
While many patients with pain are routinely prescribed glucosamine by their doctors, recent studies have suggested that many commercial preparations of glucosamine to be of questionable value.
Fortunately, the rapid advance in medical research has produced a who new range of medical supplements that much more effectively help patients to stop pain. Some of these include Winthnia Somnifera, Boswellia and Tumeric.
Prescribed according to your medical condition and specific needs, our targeted medical supplementation program helps protect your joints, reduce body inflammation, and promote cartilage repair.
What To Expect When I Visit The Pain Relief Clinic
A typical visit will involve our doctor first understanding your medical history, concerns and previous experience with other pain treatments.
For patients who have consulted many people but have yet to receive a clear diagnosis, selecting an affordable imaging scan might be recommended to confirm the cause of your pain..
Some patients have already done scans with other doctors for their pain condition but are still not clearly told what they suffer from.
Dr Terence Tan is happy to offer you a second opinion and recommend how best to manage your condition.
We also see patients who already have a confirmed diagnosis from specialist pain doctors, but are "stuck” because treatment options offered are not practical or acceptable.
We can help by discussing options that you might have potentially never been told of.
A common experience is when a patient has already consulted a specialist doctor for pain management and is told to consider orthopaedic surgery which they find too aggressive.
Or they may have seen doctors for their pain and were prescribed painkillers with potential side effects which made them feel uncomfortable.
Many of our patients have also first tried complementary treatments or acupuncture with traditional Chinese pain doctors.
They look for a second opinion after finding any relief experienced from other treatments to be temporary or requiring repetitive treatments, which add up to time and cost.
Especially in such situations, we emphasize using non-invasive medical technology you likely have not been told about .
This can make a big difference to your results.
