Common questions before your first visit.
No referral is required. You can book a consultation directly, though bringing any prior prescriptions, scans, or reports helps speed up the evaluation.
Bring any previous scans (X-ray, MRI, CT), blood reports, and a list of current medications, along with details of any past treatments or surgeries related to your pain.
Most procedures are performed under local anaesthesia and are done as day-care procedures using ultrasound or fluoroscopy guidance for precision, keeping discomfort to a minimum.
This depends entirely on your diagnosis. Some conditions respond to a single procedure, while others need a combination of medication, procedures, and rehabilitation over a few visits. This is discussed after your evaluation.
Yes. Bring your current medications to the consultation so your treatment plan can be built around what you're already taking, without unnecessary changes.
