Pain relief without surgery

Back pain, neck pain and other pain conditions are difficult to endure. Pain can lead to low mood, poor sleep, and affect our work and social life. People in pain tend to feel alone and helpless, and yet are afraid to seek help. We aim to give you pain relief without surgery, with minimal downtime, and minimal reliance on medications.

Dr Thor Timothy, a pain doctor/pain specialist in Singapore with Novena Pain Management Clinic, will help you to make sense of your pain, and partner with you to explore your options. These include simple medications, exercise and minimally invasive procedures. Nucleoplasty may be suitable for disc herniations/protrusions, and radiofrequency ablation procedures for pain from facet joints.

Dr Thor is everything you want in your doctor. I have been in intense pain for many years. The pain in my shoulder was crippling. Dr Thor restored me! Firstly, he presented his views clearly and logically structured the treatment plan, and importantly, used tailored language to ensure I understood him. He and his nurse, Erin both demonstrated high personal integrity at every phase of treatment. In short, Dr Thor was godsend!

Dr. Thor has helped me with my pain from pinched nerve issues. He is very accommodating when scheduling the surgery. He explained very thoroughly so I understand the procedure. He helped me throughout the recovery process too. The clinic staffs have also been proactive in checking with me after the procedure & also scheduling the follow up visits. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr. Thor to my friends.
