“I knew she could alleviate my pain... even from the first injection. There are not enough words to thank Dr. Pinto.“
-MR. T. on Lumbar Facet Injection
FOR PHYSICIANS
“I have been a patient of Dr. Annie Pinto for many years. In November, 2019, she suggested I have a Platelet-rich Plasma Injection (PRP) in my knee for ongoing pain. This proved to be an easy procedure where a sample of my blood was drawn and placed in a centrifuge for separation of the components. The resulting platelet-rich plasma was then injected into my knee while Dr. Pinto was guided by real time ultra sound. There was very little discomfort during the procedure. I am happy to report that I have had almost no pain and I can do more physical activities.”

Physiotherapy
Acute and chronic pain causes guarding resulting in tightness or spasm. Over long periods of time this can cause tight/ unbalanced muscles and fascia, this can also be linked with weakness. It is important to retrain the body to normal activities of daily living including work and recreational health. With these types of pain you tend to move less, so you become less fit and less flexible. Unfortunately this can increase your pain. Physiotherapy helps to break this cycle.
Physiotherapy can relieve pain, promote healing, and help you move and function better, they are trained in evidence based pain management principles.
Apart from manual techniques, different modalities of treatment are used. This includes acupuncture, dry needling, heat/cold, and TENS. It is also important to always include exercises, curated specifically to improve your individual work and exercise tolerance.

“I love to play golf but over time my back was beginning to effect my performance and I was not able to play anymore. The staff at Bermuda Pain Relief Center were able to help by managing my pain in multiple ways. I felt like they really got to the root cause of my pain and explained it all to me so I could understand. I am happy to say I am back on the course again because of them! I am so thankful for their knowledgeable and genuinely compassionate staff.”
