When pain or discomfort starts to interfere with daily life, many people explore different care pathways—from GP consultations and specialist opinions to physiotherapy or non-invasive therapies. The Pain Relief Clinic is often chosen as a practical, medically grounded option that brings clarity without rushing patients into invasive steps.

Below are the key reasons patients consult the clinic—frequently as a second opinion, and sometimes as a first point of medical review.

A Practical Second Opinion When Other Options Feel Unsuitable

Patients commonly seek the clinic when:

• Recommended treatments feel impractical for work or daily responsibilities

• Certain options feel too risky at the current stage

• Previous treatments have not delivered the expected results

In these situations, patients value a calm, medical reassessment that focuses on non-invasive, reasonable options first, while keeping future pathways open if needed.

Non-Invasive, Medically Supervised Care

The clinic focuses on non-invasive, technology-supported care, offering a balanced approach between:

• Medication-based management often used in general practice, and

• Surgical or interventional options typically overseen by orthopaedic surgeons

This allows patients to explore conservative medical care before considering more invasive steps.

Licensed Medical Clinic for Reassurance

Non-invasive therapies are available in many settings, but The Pain Relief Clinic operates as a licensed medical clinic led by registered doctors.
This provides:

• Medical oversight and accountability

• Proper clinical assessment and documentation

• Added reassurance for patients seeking medically governed care

Short Waiting Times for Appointments

Access to timely care is a key reason patients choose the clinic:

• Most appointments are available within one week

• Urgent, same-day appointments may be possible when clinically appropriate

This helps patients avoid prolonged waiting periods while seeking clarity.

Clear, Affordable Pricing (Examples)

Cost transparency makes the clinic accessible, especially for second opinions:

• Doctor consultation: from $50

• Knee X-ray: $50, including the X-ray and a specialist radiologist report

• MRI scans: under $1,000, arranged within one working day when clinically appropriate

These example price points allow patients to make informed decisions without high upfront commitments.

Insurance-Claimable & Medisave-Accredited

The clinic is:

• Insurance claimable (subject to individual policy terms)

• Medisave-accredited, providing additional financial flexibility

This is particularly useful for patients who require proper documentation for reimbursement.

Established Experience Since 2007

Founded in 2007, the clinic brings nearly two decades of experience. Long-standing operations often reflect:

• Consistent clinical standards

• Stable care systems

• Trust built over time

Trained Overseas Doctors & Helped International Patients

Dr Tan has trained doctors from overseas and has also seen international clients from over 20 countries.

One Place for Medical Memo, Imaging & Physiotherapy Support

For insurance or workplace claims, patients often need:

• A doctor’s memo

• Supporting physiotherapy documentation

The clinic helps coordinate these services in one place, reducing the need to visit multiple providers or manage paperwork separately.

A Balanced, Sensible Option

The Pain Relief Clinic does not replace GPs, orthopaedic surgeons, or physiotherapists. Instead, it offers a licensed, non-invasive, timely, and cost-conscious medical option—especially valuable as a second opinion when other approaches feel impractical, higher-risk, or have not worked as expected.

For patients seeking clarity, reassurance, and efficient next steps, this balanced approach often makes a meaningful difference.
