Treatment options
The right care starts with the right assessment.
Your plan is matched to the diagnosis, symptom severity, medical history and daily needs. Not every patient requires imaging, medication or an injection.
01First step
Doctor Consultation
Review how the pain started, daily limitations and previous treatment, followed by a focused movement, strength, joint and nerve examination.
Book consultation
02When appropriate
Medication
Suitable pain relief or anti-inflammatory treatment may be recommended after considering your health conditions, current medicines and individual risks.
Ask the doctor
03Selected patients
Joint & Soft-Tissue Injection
An injection into a selected joint, bursa or tendon sheath may be considered after examination. The doctor will explain expected benefits, limitations, risks and alternatives first.
Check suitabilityGood to know: Injection is not automatic and is not suitable for every condition. MSK ultrasound, X-ray, physiotherapy or specialist referral may be recommended when clinically indicated and available. MSK Pain & Joint Care is not currently offered at Kangar.
Your care pathway
A clear plan from assessment to recovery.
The aim is to understand the source of pain, support safe movement and decide what treatment or referral is most useful for you.
- Step 1Clinical examination
Doctor reviews the pain pattern, movement, strength, sensation, injury history and daily limitations.
- Step 2Personalised treatment
Discuss medication, activity adjustment, support, rehabilitation or injection suitability.
- Step 3Review or referral
Monitor progress and arrange imaging, physiotherapy or specialist review when it may change your care.
