State-of-the-art Pain Management

When pain persists, it is time to see a specialist. Many patients with complex conditions are often given only general medication or temporary advice, only to find their pain worsening over time.

At PKLI, under the care of Dr. Shahzad Anwar, we specialize in comprehensive, individualized treatment plans that combine advanced interventional pain procedures and cutting-edge regenerative medicine to deliver long-term relief, restore function, and improve quality of life.

Every patient receives a thorough consultation, detailed history, and advanced diagnostic evaluation (including MRI, CT, ultrasound, and lab testing when needed) to get to the root of pain before offering targeted treatments.
