3 Common Misconceptions about Pain:

  • My pain is persistent. I’ve tried gels, painkillers, injections and alternative treatments which did not work. There is no choice except for surgery.
  • My pain is due to wear and tear, age related degeneration. Nothing much can be done, while it gets worse with time. I must just learn to live with it.
  • My pain is due sports injury and exercise causing a muscle, ligament or cartilage tear. The only options are resting, physiotherapy, steroid injections and maybe surgery.

🏥 How Are We Different From Other Clinics?

How is The Pain Relief Clinic different from a GP clinic?

Most GP clinics focus on medications and advice, which may not be enough for stubborn or recurring pain.
We combine diagnosis, in-house imaging referrals, and non-invasive medical treatments.


How is The Pain Relief Clinic different from specialist clinics?

Specialists often suggest surgical or invasive procedures, which may not be ideal or affordable for everyone.
Our first consultation is $50, and we provide non-surgical alternatives with real results.


How is The Pain Relief Clinic different from physiotherapy clinics?

While physios focus on rehab exercises and massage, this may not be suitable if you’re in too much pain to move.
Our in-house physiotherapists also use medical-grade technologies like Shockwave and HotHeal Therapy, the same methods used by Singapore’s national table tennis athletes.


How is The Pain Relief Clinic different from chiropractic or osteopathy clinics?

  • Focus on spinal manipulation
  • Are not licensed by MOH Singapore
  • Cannot provide medical certificates
  • May not be covered by insurance or Medisave

At The Pain Relief Clinic, your care is overseen by a licensed medical doctor, with access to imaging, prescriptions, insurance claims, and non-invasive therapy options.

✅ Why You Should Consider Visiting The Pain Relief Clinic

Still unsure? Here are common reasons why patients come to us:

  • OTC pain gels and patches didn’t work
  • GP painkillers not effective, or cause side effects
  • Prefer a MOH licensed clinic for peace of mind
  • TCM took too long, or didn’t relieve pain
  • Your specialist recommended surgery — but you’re not ready
  • You need quick access to MRI, Ultrasound or X-ray scans
  • You want an affordable MRI scan (ours start at $950)
  • You prefer non-invasive technologies that promote healing without downtime

💵 Are the Fees Expensive?

Our consultation fees are typically $50, and treatments are reasonably priced depending on your needs.
A knee X-ray is $50. A cervical spine (neck) X-ray is $70. A lumbo-sacral (back) X-ray is $100.

Many patients find this far more affordable than:

  • Long-term use of medication
  • Repeated visits to other clinics
  • Surgery or hospital-based options


💳 Can I Use Insurance?

Yes — many of our patients claim their visits through:

  • 🏥 Company outpatient medical benefits
  • 🧳 Travel insurance (for tourists or locals injured while travelling)
  • 🏃‍♀️ Personal accident plans (e.g. sports injuries, sprains, slips, falls)
  • 🧾 Personal outpatient plans

As a Medisave-accredited and MOH-licensed clinic, we can help support your insurance claims.
