Chronic non-malignant pain is a common problem in the elderly.
Older people may have several sources of pain as they commonly have multiple medical problems.
As a result of the pain, they may develop depression, mood disorders and have decreased physical activities.
We assess and treat older persons with chronic non-malignant pain.
Our services:
- Help patients to control pain better through adjustment of medications
- Achieve an appropriate functional goal
- Enhance a patient’s quality of life
This involves:

- Prescribing appropriate medications to treat the chronic pain. We do not perform interventional procedures for pain relief
- Recommending appropriate therapy which includes physiotherapy and occupational therapy
