Pain management.

What it is

Not every concern that brings someone to the clinic is cosmetic. Some arrive with a jaw that aches by the evening, a muscle that will not let go, or tenderness lingering longer than it should after a treatment. Photobiomodulation, a painless red and near-infrared light therapy, calms inflammation and speeds the body's own repair, which makes it a quiet, drug-free way to manage this kind of discomfort.

This is managed work, not a one-off. Dr Beiki primes the area before each session and looks after it afterwards: he examines the source of the pain, prepares the tissue, and provides ongoing management in the days and weeks that follow, adjusting the plan as the discomfort settles. Where a structural cause sits behind the pain, such as a dental or joint concern, he will say so and refer you to the right hands.

What we look for

• ●Temporomandibular joint strain and an overworked masseter from clenching or grinding
• ●Tension held in the jaw, temples and neck that builds across a working day
• ●Localised soft-tissue inflammation that is slow to settle on its own
• ●Swelling, tenderness or bruising in the days after an injectable or laser treatment
• ●Recurrent tension headaches that trace back to the same overactive muscles
• ●A recovery that simply takes longer than it should, and a wish to move it along gently

Dr Beiki assesses which of these are at play before recommending a layered approach.
