Diagnosis & Pain Management
Chronic Bone & Joint Pain Management in Peshawar
Chronic joint pain is one of the most under-investigated orthopedic complaints — people live with it for months without a clear diagnosis. Dr. Abdul Hadi provides structured assessment at Pak Medical Center, Khyber Bazar, to find the cause rather than manage the symptom.
- Systematic assessment
- X-ray & MRI where indicated
- Cause-led treatment
What does management involve?
Chronic joint pain can come from arthritis, from ligament laxity, from cartilage damage, from changes after previous surgery, or it can be pain referred from your spine.
A thorough workup — examination, X-ray and MRI — identifies what is actually causing your pain and directs your treatment, which may be physiotherapy, injections, bracing or surgery.
When to get your pain assessed
- Your pain has lasted more than 6 weeks
- Your pain is limiting what you can do day to day
- Your joint swells, locks or gives way
- Rest and simple painkillers are not settling it
Recovery & rehabilitation
Your treatment addresses what is actually causing the pain rather than only the symptoms. Your plan is built after the workup is complete, and reviewed as you progress.

Six weeks is the threshold. If your pain has lasted beyond six weeks, or is limiting your daily function, it warrants a specialist orthopedic assessment.
