Amid Singapore’s fast-paced lifestyle, many people suffer from various bodily pains. While not severe enough to require hospitalization, these discomforts significantly impact daily life. Whether it’s neck and shoulder stiffness from desk-bound work among the young, or joint pain aggravated by humid weather in the elderly, such aches hinder both personal well-being and professional productivity.
Singapore Gong Fang Tang TCM Clinic – Pain Management Center specializes in chronic and acute pain care. Adhering to an "integrated Chinese-Western medicine" philosophy, it combines traditional TCM therapies with modern medical techniques, merging the strengths of both approaches to achieve optimal pain relief.
In daily life, common types of bodily pain are closely linked to habits, environment, and underlying conditions. Do you experience any of the following?
Neck & Shoulder Pain: Prolonged desk work or looking down at electronic devices strains muscles, causing soreness, stiffness, limited mobility, and even dizziness or arm numbness.
Back Pain: Sitting for long hours, heavy lifting, or poor posture can damage muscles and ligaments, increase spinal disc pressure, and trigger pain. Some may develop herniated discs due to degenerative changes, compressing nerves and worsening discomfort.
Knee Pain: Common in middle-aged and elderly adults due to cartilage wear or bone spurs, leading to pain, swelling, and joint noises during movement. Young adults may experience pain from sports injuries, meniscus tears, or ligament strains.
