Diagnosis and consent come first
Dr Muhammad Shoaib Mukhtar provides selected interventional pain and musculoskeletal procedures after clinical assessment. Ultrasound guidance may be used to visualise relevant soft tissues and the needle path when appropriate.
Individual targets require individual explanations
Selected spine, nerve, tendon, bursa and pelvic procedures may be considered according to diagnosis, training and facility protocols. The consent discussion identifies the target, substance, evidence, alternatives and material risks.
Reassessment connects the procedure to recovery
Follow-up considers symptom response, complications and whether movement or function has improved. Rehabilitation is progressed according to the tissue, condition and procedure.
Frequently asked questions
Can I book an injection without consultation?
Usually no. Assessment is required to confirm the target, indication, contraindications and alternatives.
Does ultrasound guarantee success?
No. It can improve visualisation and assist placement, but clinical outcome still depends on diagnosis and treatment choice.
Are all pain procedures permanent?
No. Duration and degree of benefit vary, and some procedures are intended to create a window for rehabilitation rather than provide a permanent cure.
