Ceasing the Suffering

Discover Long-Standing Relief from Chronic Pains Without Surgery. (No, It is Not TCM!)

Back pain affects approximately 17.1% of the total Singaporean population, with knee pain affecting an estimated 8.5% according to recent data. These conditions can be attributed to a range of factors, including an ageing population, sedentary lifestyles and the impact of chronic medical conditions. Chronic medical conditions can significantly impact an individual’s quality of life, limiting their mobility and daily activities. While traditional treatments, such as surgery and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), have their place, there is a growing need for alternative, minimally invasive pain relief solutions that offer long-term benefits.

CHRONIC PAIN SYNDROMES VS QUALITY OF LIFE

Chronic musculoskeletal pains emanating from such pathologies as osteoarthritis, herniated discs, tendinitis, bursitis and degenerative joint disease (among many others), may be crippling. They can significantly affect an individual’s capacity to do even the most ordinary activities, lowering the quality of their lives.

While these symptoms can be managed temporarily with the aid of medications like NSAIDs or opioids, these medicines are palliatives, not treatments. They may result in adverse effects or dependence. On the other hand, surgical treatments, though effective for certain situations, are encumbered with increased risks, prolonged convalescence and potential complications.

Minimally invasive interventions offer a realistic alternative to pain relief medications and surgery. Such therapies are directed at the cause of pain by employing smaller incisions or even non-surgical methods (i.e. by way of injections using needles). Thus, there is much less trauma to the musculoskeletal system, less post-operative recovery time, and faster resumption to normal activities.
