Aches & Pains Assessment

Aches & Pains Assessment

Ongoing pain, new discomfort or reduced movement can affect daily life, work and rest. Our GPs help assess common aches and pains so that the likely cause can be identified early and managed properly.

We look at the pattern of your pain, the areas affected, any injuries, associated symptoms and whether further tests or specialist care may be needed.

This service may help with

• Muscle and body aches
• Joint discomfort and stiffness
• Back, neck or shoulder pain
• Pain after strain, overuse or minor injury
• Pain that is persistent or keeps returning

Care may include

• Clinical review and physical examination
• Pain management advice
• Medication where appropriate
• Referral for investigations or specialist review
• Guidance on physiotherapy or rehabilitation follow-up

If your pain is severe, worsening or affecting your ability to function, early assessment can help prevent avoidable complications.
