  Hello, I have back pain problem and it is very disturbing me on my daily activities. Which doctor that I need to see first? GP or physiotherapist?

  • Hello, a physiotherapist can help to reduce your pain but you have to see a GP first to get a prescription for the physiotherapy. You can already apply heat to your back (hot water bottle or cushion of cherry stones) and see if it helps to reduce your pain, at least for a little moment.

  Good afternoon, it’s been a couple of weeks that my arm hurts, the pain starts from the bone to the left of the elbow. What specific examinations should I do and which specialist should I consult?

  • Hello,
    You can consult a physiotherapist and start a treatment based on movement and exercises, you'll need a prescription from your doctor first. You don't need to do any kind of imageries, eventually an echography, but not much more.
    You can also stop the movements that reproduce your pain (typing on your keybord for example).

  Hello, my shoulder is about a few centimeters out of place since i landed on it strangely. My question is how serious this can be since I still have full range of motion although it does feel unstable in certain positions when I do sports and which doctor I need to see to put it back into place.

  • The major risk that you have is the shoulder dislocation. You can take an appointment with a doctor and/or maybe an orthopedist. You can also do a strengthening program to stabilise your shoulder.
