Correct Diagnosis is the cornerstone for rational treatment of any type of pain and to improve chances of a successful treatment. Our doctor offers full satisfaction to the patient by giving them adequate time for a patient hearing and at length consultation.
A detailed evaluation by our doctor in form of relevant history combined with thorough clinical examination. All patients presenting with chronic pain should have a documented history and physical examination and an assessment that ultimately supports a chosen treatment strategy.
