Disc and Joint Pain Treatment in Singapore

Disc and joint pain affects people of all ages and activity levels. It can occur suddenly or develop gradually over time, often affecting the neck, middle and lower . When left unmanaged, this discomfort can interfere with everyday activities and reduce overall quality of life.

At our Singapore clinic, Dr. Dinesh Sirisena provides evidence-based, medically approved care for disc and joint pain. We focus on accurate diagnosis, personalised treatment, and professional guidance to help patients move better and feel more comfortable, without unnecessary procedures.

Why Do People Experience Disc and Joint Pain?

Both discs and joints play crucial roles in keeping the body mobile and balanced. Spinal discs act as cushions between the bones (vertebrae) of the spine, while the joints allow smooth, controlled movements between various levels. When these structures are damaged, irritated, or worn down, pain and stiffness often follow.

Common areas where people experience disc & joint pain include:

• The neck (due to prolonged computer or phone use, leading to disc bulges, degeneration, or joint inflammation)
• The mid back (due to poor posture or incorrect technique with exercise, leading to stiffness in joints and reduced mobility)
• The lower back (due to sudden lifting or repetitive use, leading to muscle spasm, limitation in movement and chronic disability)
• The pelvis (commonly due to sacroiliac joints, this can lead to pain with sitting, shooting pain along the legs and pain with standing)

Understanding the cause of pain is essential, as it allows targeted, effective management that improves mobility and reduces discomfort.

What Causes Disc and Joint Pain, and What Are the Symptoms?

Disc and joint pain can result from a variety of factors. Some issues develop gradually through wear and tear, while others happen after sudden injuries or overuse.

Common causes of disc & joint pain include:

• Degenerative changes: Discs can wear down over time, causing conditions such as disc bulges, herniations, or spinal stenosis.
• Joint inflammation: Conditions like arthritis or repetitive strain injuries may irritate joints, leading to swelling and discomfort.
• Injuries: Accidents, falls, or sports-related incidents can damage discs or joints.
• Postural strain: Poor posture during work or daily activities can put uneven stress on the spine and joints.
• Overuse: Repeated, high-impact movements can wear out joint surfaces or cause disc problems.

Symptoms often experienced with disc and joint pain include:

• Localised pain in the affected area
• Stiffness and restricted movement
• Pain radiating to nearby regions (e.g., down the leg in sciatica)
• Numbness or tingling sensations in some cases
• Muscle weakness, particularly with nerve involvement

As symptoms can vary depending on the location and severity of the problem, a thorough clinical assessment is recommended before deciding on a treatment plan.

How Do You Relieve Disc and Joint Pain?

At our clinic, we focus on medically approved, non-invasive solutions for most cases of disc and joint pain. Dr. Dinesh combines clinical evaluation with real-time ultrasound imaging when needed, ensuring precise diagnosis and appropriate care.

Common treatment approaches include:

• Activity modification: Adjusting work and exercise routines to reduce strain on affected areas.
• Pain management strategies: Safe medication options or non-invasive therapies may be recommended to relieve discomfort.
• Targeted physiotherapy: Personalised rehabilitation programs help restore strength, improve posture, and regain mobility.
• Joint, nerve and discinjections: When necessary, safe, evidence-based injections can reduce inflammation and improve movement.
• Ergonomic advice: Improving workplace setups and posture habits can prevent symptom recurrence.

By addressing both symptoms and underlying causes, patients often experience noticeable improvement in function and comfort within a short period.
