The Women’s Pain Centre at KKH offers new medical approaches to chronic pain conditions such as joint, back, lower body and migraine pains, without the need for surgery.

How We Can Help You
We are equipped with the latest state-of-the-art technology to conduct minimally invasive procedures to treat pain. Upon consultation, our pain specialist will diagnose your condition and identify the pain source, and a customised short and long-term plan based on your needs will be drawn up for you.
Treatments can include oral medication, laser treatments and depending on your needs, our physiotherapists can also work with you to provide physiotherapy. Laser treatments can desensitise painful nerves, and the new soft laser technology can aid in tissue regeneration to speed healing from injuries.
With help from our psychologist, we can also help empower and motivate you to manage and cope better
with your pain.
