Many people take a painkiller, rest for a few days and carry on, only for the same pain to return. That is because the pain is often masked while its cause remains. At Dr. Bhanji Physiotherapy & Fitness Center in Versova, treatment begins by finding that cause, followed by a step-by-step plan, at the clinic or at home. It is a familiar cycle for many people in Versova and Andheri West. Back pain after a long day at the desk, a stiff neck after hours on the phone, knee pain while climbing stairs, or a shoulder that aches after the gym. The usual response is a painkiller, a pain relief spray or a few days of rest. The pain settles, life goes on, and then a week or a month later it returns, sometimes stronger than before.
