Pain Management at Hunjan Hospital, Ludhiana
- Chronic pain conditions: low back pain, neck pain, arthritis-related pain, fibromyalgia
- Acute pain from injury, post-surgical soreness, or acute disc episodes
- Manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and electrotherapy modalities
- Coordination with orthopaedic and spine specialists for interventional options where appropriate
- Patient education on pain science and self-management strategies
- Gradual rehabilitation to restore activity levels without fear-avoidance
At our NABH pre-accredited facility in Ludhiana, pain is assessed thoroughly before any treatment is recommended. Our physiotherapy-led approach aims to reduce reliance on long-term analgesic medication by restoring the body’s natural capacity for movement and resilience.
Our Approach to Pain Management
Modern pain science recognises that pain is not always directly proportional to tissue damage. Chronic pain involves central sensitisation, psychological factors, and lifestyle contributors in addition to local tissue pathology. Effective pain management therefore addresses all relevant dimensions rather than focusing solely on the site of pain.
At Hunjan Hospital, Ludhiana, our physiotherapists conduct a thorough assessment that considers the nature and history of pain, movement impairments, strength deficits, and the patient’s activity goals. Treatment is then built around manual therapy to reduce local pain drivers, therapeutic exercise to build supporting strength and endurance, and education to shift the patient’s understanding of their pain towards an active self-management model.
- Manual therapy: joint mobilisation, soft tissue techniques, trigger point release
- Therapeutic exercise: targeted strengthening and graded exposure to previously avoided activities
- Electrotherapy: TENS, ultrasound, and interferential therapy where clinically appropriate
- Postural and ergonomic assessment for work- and lifestyle-related pain
- Heat, cold, and traction as adjuncts to active rehabilitation
- Pain neuroscience education to reduce catastrophising and improve self-efficacy
Where physiotherapy alone is insufficient, our team coordinates with orthopaedic and spine specialists to discuss interventional options such as image-guided injections or surgical assessment.
