Musculoskeletal pain & injuries

Back pain, sprains, strains, joint pain and sports injuries.

Overview

Back pain, neck pain, sprains, strains, tendonitis and minor sports injuries are common while traveling — long flights, new beds, hiking, surfing or simply carrying luggage can all trigger them. A consultation helps clarify the cause, rule out red flags and start treatment quickly so it doesn't ruin your trip.

Common symptoms

  • Back, neck or joint pain
  • Muscle strain after activity or unusual posture
  • Swelling, bruising or limited movement after a minor injury
  • Tendonitis or overuse pain

When to seek care urgently

  • Severe pain after a fall or accident
  • Numbness, tingling or weakness in a limb
  • Inability to bear weight or move a joint
  • Fever combined with joint pain

How we can help

The doctor will assess the injury on video, advise on rest, ice, mobilization and physiotherapy, and prescribe analgesics or anti-inflammatories when appropriate. We can also issue medical certificates if you need to rest from work or sports.
