  • Hello,
    Since you are experiencing pain in different areas (lower back, knee, and neck), it would be best to start with an orthopedic doctor, who can examine your musculoskeletal system and guide you further.

    At the same time, many of these symptoms are often related to posture and muscle strain from long hours of sitting. In such cases, physiotherapy can play a very important role in reducing pain and improving posture and mobility.

    A good combination is: initial medical assessment by an orthopedic doctor, and then physiotherapy to address the underlying causes and help you feel better in your daily routine.

  • Orthopaedic to begin with.
