1Assess
A GP working alongside our pain-management consultant grades how severe your pain is and pinpoints its likely origin.
2Direct the testing
They decide what's needed — bloods, imaging, or nothing further — so you're neither over-tested nor under-investigated.

You leave knowing what's wrong and what happens next.
East meets West
Western precision, Eastern wisdom
Acupuncture is recognised in the UK as an effective option for pain — NICE recommends considering it for chronic primary pain, and the evidence is strongest for migraine. MEDii is proud to be a pioneer in combining Western diagnosis, assessment and management with the oriental wisdom and precision of acupuncture — so your pain plan draws on the best of both.
Recognised for pain
NICE recommends considering acupuncture for chronic primary pain; the evidence is strongest for migraine.
A drug-light option
Used on its own or alongside your medical plan — helpful if you'd rather ease off painkillers.
The best of both
Western diagnosis and management, combined with the precision of traditional acupuncture.
Acupuncture at MEDii is delivered by a trained practitioner as a complement to medical care, not a substitute for diagnosis or treatment.

How we treat pain
Five ways we tackle pain
Once we know the cause, we match the method — often combining a few, all under a doctor's guidance.
Blood tests
On-site bloods to find inflammation, infection or other drivers — uric acid for gout, inflammatory markers and more.
Imaging consultation
Ultrasound and X-ray locally, with brain and spinal MRI arranged quickly for a clearer, more accurate diagnosis.
Injection treatment
Targeted injections — including image-guided joint and nerve-pain injections via our pain consultant — to relieve pain at the source.
Acupuncture treatment
Evidence-based acupuncture for pain relief, alongside your medical plan.
Medication treatment
The right medicines and a clear plan, prescribed and reviewed by a doctor.
Every method is chosen and overseen by a doctor. No PRP; injection scope is image-guided joint and nerve-pain injections via our pain consultant.
How it plays out
How it plays out
Illustrative cases, based on situations we see every week. Details changed; not individual patient records.
Recurring tummy pain, explained
“Probably stress.” Same-day bloods and an abdominal ultrasound found the cause; the right treatment started that week — not months later.
The knee that wasn't “just age”
Weeks of “rest and see”. Ultrasound on day one showed the problem; a guided injection settled it and an MRI was fast-tracked. Walking again, not waiting.
