Pain Therapy in Palma de Mallorca

Holistic and Multimodal Treatment

Tailored to your condition — always individual, multimodal, and holistic. Our primary goal is to eliminate pain and improve your quality of life through an approach that combines conventional medicine with complementary therapies.

Pain Therapy Mallorca – Holistic Treatment

Holistic Approach – Conventional + Complementary Medicine

Modern pain therapy requires a holistic approach that combines the best of conventional medicine with complementary and alternative therapies.

There is no one-size-fits-all treatment. Pain is a complex experience influenced by physical, emotional, psychological, and lifestyle factors. That is why our approach is:

  • Individual: Every patient is unique. We design personalised treatment plans.
  • Multimodal: We combine different therapies for optimal results.
  • Holistic: We treat the whole person, not just the symptom.

Conventional Medicine

We use evidence-based medical treatments:

  • Precise diagnostics: MRI, ultrasound, laboratory analysis
  • Targeted injections: Corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid, local anaesthetics
  • Medication: When necessary, with a focus on minimising dosage
  • Advanced technology: SpineMed, shockwave therapy, cryotherapy

Complementary and Alternative Medicine

We integrate complementary therapies with proven efficacy:

  • Acupuncture: Traditional Chinese Medicine recognised by the WHO
  • Manual medicine: Chiropractic therapy, osteopathy
  • Trigger point therapy: Deactivation of muscle knots
  • Kinesio taping: Therapeutic support
  • Cupping: Traditional therapy

Why Multimodal?

Scientific studies show that combining treatments is more effective than monotherapy. For example:

  • SpineMed + cryotherapy + physiotherapy for disc herniations
  • Injections + acupuncture + manual medicine for osteoarthritis
  • PRP + shockwave therapy + physiotherapy for chronic tendinopathies

Comprehensive Pain Therapy – Conventional and Alternative Medicine

Trigger Point Therapy Mallorca

Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger Point Therapy

Myofascial trigger points are hyperirritable muscle knots that cause local and referred pain — common in the neck, shoulders and back. The procedure, indications and clinical applications are described on our dedicated trigger point therapy page in Palma.

Kinesio Taping Mallorca

Kinesio Taping

Kinesio Taping

Kinesio taping uses elastic adhesive tape to provide support, reduce pain and improve muscle function without restricting movement. Applications, technique and clinical use cases are detailed on our dedicated kinesio taping page in Palma.

Cupping Therapy Mallorca

Cupping Therapy

Cupping Therapy

Cupping is a traditional technique that uses glass or plastic cups to create suction on the skin. It is part of our holistic approach.

Mechanism of action:

  • Improved circulation: Increases local blood flow
  • Myofascial release: Loosens tight connective tissue
  • Inflammation reduction: Stimulates lymphatic drainage
  • Muscle relaxation: Relieves tension

Traditionally used in Chinese and European medicine. Effective for muscle pain, tension, and as a complement to acupuncture and manual medicine.

Note: It may leave temporary circular bruises that disappear within 3-7 days. This is normal and does not indicate damage.

Preguntas frecuentes

Multimodal pain therapy combines different treatments (cryotherapy, injections, acupuncture, manual medicine, physiotherapy) based on the individual needs of each patient. There is no one-size-fits-all treatment. We design a personalised treatment plan based on your specific condition.
Holistic means treating the whole person, not just the symptom. We combine conventional medicine (injections, medication) with complementary medicine (acupuncture, manual medicine). We consider physical, emotional, and lifestyle factors that contribute to pain.
In many cases, yes. Treatments such as cryotherapy, acupuncture, and manual medicine significantly reduce pain without medication. When medication is necessary, we aim to minimise dosage and duration through complementary therapies.
It depends on the condition. Acute pain: improvement in days or weeks. Chronic pain: requires longer treatment (weeks or months). Some treatments (injections, cryotherapy) provide rapid relief, while others (acupuncture, PRP) have cumulative effects.
There is no universally 'best' treatment. Every patient is unique. We perform a comprehensive evaluation and design a personalised treatment plan. We can combine various treatments for optimal results.
Yes, chronic back pain is one of our specialities. We combine SpineMed (spinal decompression), manual medicine, cryotherapy, injections, and acupuncture depending on the case. Our goal is to avoid surgery whenever possible.
Yes. Acupuncture is recognised by the WHO as effective for chronic pain. Scientific studies demonstrate its efficacy in lower back pain, migraines, osteoarthritis, and fibromyalgia. It releases endorphins (natural painkillers) and reduces inflammation.
Trigger points are painful muscle knots that cause local and referred pain. Trigger point therapy deactivates them through manual compression, injections, or dry needling. It is particularly effective for myofascial pain and chronic tension.
