The Pain Relief Practice is a Singapore Physiotherapy Practice which provides specialized physical therapy for the treatment of pain.

Using advanced rehabilitation techniques based on the latest scientific developments in physical therapy, our physiotherapists are dedicated to helping patients achieve freedom from pain.

Many of our patients have been through trials of many other treatments (including �standard physiotherapy�) without success.

However, we� re committed to achieving good results�especially with persistent pain, degeneration and chronic conditions, through the use of the latest pain relief technologies.

We understand that being in pain is a stressful, unpleasant experience!
It can have an impact on many areas of your life - activity levels, work, social life, relationships and psychological well-being. People often feel they are no longer in control of their life. We are here to help relieve your pain.

Nursemaids Elbow

Nursemaid's elbow: Pulling out the diagnosis Source: Contemporary Pediatrics Originally published: June 1, 2000

Pulled elbow is easily reduced. First, however, you must be sure that the injury is not something more serious, like a fracture. Elbow injuries, ranging from simple contusions to complex fractures, are very common in children. Children younger than 5 years often experience "pulled elbow." This injury, which is frequently called "nursemaid's elbow," also is termed "radial head subluxation." In pathoanatomical terms, it is an acute annular ligament interposition into the radiocapitellar joint.1 The injury occurs when someone pulls the young child's forearm, drawing apart the elbow joint and tearing the margin of the annular ligament attachment, the edge of the ligament that attaches the ligament to the bone. This tear allows the annular ligament to become trapped in the radiocapitellar joint. A simple reduction maneuver releases the ligament from the joint, often dramatically resolving symptoms.

We aren�t selling things, and we have no agenda to push other than to take control of your own healthcare rather than allow the system to run roughshod over you.
