Assessment
An important part of the role that MSM Pain Clinic provides is that the doctor undertakes an assessment of the patient’s current condition in a way that is unbiased and unaffected by previous medical opinions. MSM Pain Clinic believes it is critical that the doctor satisfies himself at the outset what the patient may be suffering from, and what the best course of treatment action that may be required. There are times when it is impossible though to establish on clinical examination the depth or seriousness of the problem (which may require urgent and specific treatment), in which case investigations are requested and the results discussed with the patient, before a treatment plan is finalised in liaison with the patient, tailored specifically to their individual needs.
