Based on the outcomes of your Comprehensive Initial Consultation, Dr. Panjwani will devise a customized plan in partnership with you to tackle the root cause of your pain holistically, incorporating both hands-on therapies (from low level laser treatment to physical therapy recommendations) and the most relevant aspects of lifestyle medicine for your situation. This approach not only provides you with a bespoke plan to resolve the underlying cause of your physical pain, but also helps provide near-term relief of symptoms.
