The common pain conditions that many Singaporeans face are neck pain, shoulder pain, lower back pain, as well as headaches. There may be a significant population of Singaporeans who visit the TCM clinic for therapies like acupuncture and cupping, and that is not wrong.

For people who are suffering from aches and pain of the spine (neck and lower back), it is time to start taking charge of your health and take steps to prevent worsening of the current conditions. Seek medical advice if it is affecting your ability to perform work or it is having an impact on your quality of life. After all, prevention is better than cure.

Strains and sprains are commonly confused with each other, as they are very similar! In fact, these two terms are often used interchangeably to describe overstretching or tearing of soft tissues in and around your joints.

However if the pain persists, it is important to seek professional help from a Doctor. If left untreated, it could lead to more serious conditions such as ankle instability if an ankle sprain was sustained.
