Frequently Asked Questions About Pain Management

1. What are the various types of pain management?

Pain management involves a variety of techniques to prevent, reduce, or stop pain sensations. At The Pain Clinic in Singapore, we offer multidisciplinary approaches, which may include a combination of medications, physical therapy, psychological therapy, and minimally invasive interventional pain procedures. We treat pain both as a symptom of other diseases and as a primary disorder itself.

2. What are the common treatment options provided by pain specialists?

Our Singapore based pain specialist, Dr. Ho Kok Yuen, provides a variety of treatment options based on the nature and severity of the pain. These include, but are not limited to, pain medications, physical therapies, and advice on exercises, workplace ergonomics, and posture. In cases where pain control remains suboptimal, we may recommend minimally invasive procedures like shockwave therapy, nerve block, steroid injection, radiofrequency ablation, drug pumps, or neurostimulation.

3. How much does pain management cost?

The cost of pain management can vary widely depending on the type and severity of the pain, as well as the specific treatment plan designed for the patient. At The Pain Clinic, we strive to provide quality care at a reasonable cost. Our charges are transparent and adhere to the Ministry of Health Fee Benchmarks. For a more accurate estimate, it’s best to schedule a consultation where we can discuss your specific needs and available options. Please note that we are accredited by Singapore’s Ministry of Health (MOH) and work with various insurance partners, which may assist with hospitalisation and surgery claims.
