Pain Management
Pain Management is a specialized physiotherapy service focused on assessing, treating, and managing acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain affecting the muscles, joints, ligaments, spine, and nerves.
Pain may arise due to poor posture, prolonged sitting, sports injuries, degenerative conditions, nerve irritation, or post-surgical stiffness. When left unaddressed, it can interfere with mobility, work performance, sleep quality, and overall well-being.
At the clinic of Dr. Supriya Anand, Postgraduate (Gold Medallist) in Physical Therapy (Orthopaedics), pain management is delivered through structured outpatient physiotherapy sessions. Each patient undergoes a detailed clinical evaluation to identify the root cause of pain, followed by a personalized treatment plan designed to restore function and prevent recurrence.
The focus is not merely temporary pain relief, but long-term biomechanical correction and functional recovery.
