Pain management
VisitHealth’s pain management team focuses on treating the root cause of pain with a tailored plan.
A multidisciplinary team ensures that patients receive the most effective treatment available.
headaches (e.g. migraines), chronic pain in the back, neck, or joints
The approach may include physiotherapy, medication, and specialist referrals, depending on the cause of pain.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapists create personalised exercise programmes and use tools like electrical stimulation to reduce pain and improve mobility.
It represents non-invasive treatment for muscle and joint pain.

Physiotherapy is often paired with other treatments like massage and medication.
Neurological pain management
Neurologists are essential for managing pain caused by nerve-related issues, such as lower back pain and migraines.
The involvement of a neurologist ensures that certain causes of pain are properly diagnosed and treated.
slipped discs, pain from nerve damage, chronic headaches
Neurologists work alongside other specialists to create a safe and all-encompassing treatment plan.
Chronic joint pain and inflammation
Chronic joint pain is often treated with medication such as anti-inflammatory drugs and corticosteroids.
Such treatment reduces pain and inflammation in the joints, improving quality of life.

Orthopaedic specialists and physiotherapists may be involved to ensure long-term relief.
Massage and non-invasive treatments
Massage therapy, alongside non-invasive treatments like magnetic therapy and electrical stimulation, can help alleviate chronic pain.
It provides relief from muscle tension, promoting relaxation and enhancing recovery.

Massage can be combined with physiotherapy or medication to support a complete pain management plan.
Collaborative treatment plans
Pain management at VisitHealth often requires input from multiple specialists, such as neurologists, physiotherapists, and orthopaedic doctors.
A collaborative approach ensures that patients receive care sensibly tailored to their condition.
This approach makes sense when complex pain conditions call for the expertise of multiple medical disciplines.
After diagnosis, the team works together to implement a rehabilitation or treatment plan, including physiotherapy and medication.
At VisitHealth our approach to pain management involves specialists from different fields to treat the root cause of the pain. Whether it’s chronic back pain, shoulder pain, or headaches, the first step is identifying the source. Once we know the cause, we can tailor a treatment plan that includes a combination of therapies such as physiotherapy, medication, massage, and special exercises.
Physiotherapy is often a key part of pain management. Our physiotherapists’ personalised exercise programmes relieve pain and improve mobility. We use tools such as electrical stimulation, magnetic therapy, and other non-invasive treatments to ease muscle pain and inflammation.
For more complex cases, like chronic joint pain, treatments may involve medication, including corticosteroids to reduce inflammation. If the pain is linked to a neurological issue, such as migraines or lower back pain caused by a slipped disc, a neurologist may be involved to assess the situation and guide the treatment.
Pain management calls for collaboration. So if our neurologist rules out conditions like disc herniation, for instance, it means that any recommended physiotherapy or massage therapy can be both effective and safe.
Our team guides you through each step, from diagnosing the source of your pain to creating a rehabilitation plan that involves the right specialists, whether they’re physiotherapists, neurologists, or orthopaedic experts.
Let’s review how our pain management approaches can work for you by considering physiotherapy, neurological sources, chronic joint pain and inflammation, massage and other non-invasive treatments, and treatment plans.
