company, you can even help to ensure your employees are at their best using specialised wellbeing assessments.  SEEK HELP FROM A PAIN MEDICINE SPECIALIST Say goodbye to pain with Dr


Blackburn (Image: ) Do you suffer from persistent lower back, neck and shoulder pain or sciatica? Consider seeing a pain medicine specialist such as Dr James Blackburn. After a detailed


assessment, he can formulate a treatment plan tailored to your problem. As well as advising on medication, he can recommend appropriate interventional therapy such as image-guided diagnostic


lumbar, cervical facet joint or sacroiliac joint injections. Sciatica causing leg pain due to a trapped nerve can be treated with an epidural or targeted nerve root injections, while a


frozen shoulder may unlock with a suprascapular nerve block, which could help avoid risky surgery. Dr Blackburn works with St George’s Hospital, Tooting and southwest London pain services,


as well as Parkside Hospital, among other establishments. drjamesblackburn.co.uk  All medical procedures carry some degree of risk so please consult your GP to see if these treatments may be


right for you. GET RADIANT SKIN WITH THE HELP OF A NUTRITION SUPPLEMENT Boost your skin’s complexion with Hey Nutrition (Image: ) A balanced diet is usually enough to keep you feeling

Complex, which contains magnesium from three different sources, with added vitamin D3 and two types of zinc. The complex is made with magnesium citrate, magnesium glycinate and magnesium


malate — each with different absorption rates — which contribute to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue. At the same time, zinc can help keep your hair, nails and skin in good condition.

SURGERY WITH ROBOT-ASSISTED HIP AND KNEE REPLACEMENTS Remain independent before your surgery with Stryker (Image: ) To prepare patients before leg surgery, medical tech company Stryker has


created robot-arm-assisted transformative technology. It allows for precise implant positioning, with pre-operative CT images combined with 3D technology to enable surgeons to accurately


perform hip and knee replacements. For patients, this could mean less pain, quicker recovery, and a better chance of their joints functioning as normal post-surgery. The technology also aims


to minimise the risk of unequal leg lengths and make replacements last longer. Orthopaedic surgeon Winston Kim (FRCS), who practises at Alexandra Hospital, Greater Manchester, has performed


more than 600 robot-assisted hip, knee and partial knee replacements. All medical procedures carry some degree of risk so please consult your GP to see if these treatments may be right for


you. Learn more about his work at manchesterhipandknee.com KEEP TRACK OF YOUR MEDICATION WITH AN NHS DIGITAL PHARMACY SERVICE Keep track of your medication with PillTime (Image: Pilltime) Do
