Diagnostic Consultation
Doctors of Conventional Medicine are trained in the recognition of pathology, actual disease processes. Luckily for many of us, we do not have actual pathology, however there is usually a cause for our symptoms. Our Diagnostic Consultant- Complementary Medicine, Mr. Gerry Gajadharsingh DO, has 25 years of clinical experience and receives many referrals from GP’s, Medical Consultants, other healthcare clinicians, businesses and of course other patients. His job is to make sure there is no obvious pathology, where medical referral may be more appropriate and then to explore the functional components that may be contributing to the patients particular problem. Many of his patients have complex multi-factoral aetiology (there may be many possible and often interacting causes, to why the patient is ill). Many of these patients do well with the team approach at The Health Equation but for patients with actual and sometimes serious pathology, he has an excellent referral network for specialist investigation and treatment, both surgical and non-surgical.

“My family and I have been patients of Mr. Gajadharsingh for 20+ years. He has outstanding diagnostic abilities, and successfully integrates conventional approaches and knowledge with a holistic osteopathic philosophy. His ability to see beyond the obvious physical symptoms, his knowledge of complementary issues such as nutrition and breathing and their impact on the body, his up to date medical knowledge, as well as his ability to think laterally, make him a sensitive, responsive and extremely effective practitioner. I know that when I leave his consulting room, I will feel far better than when I entered it, and that his treatments will provide lasting benefits. His high level of medical care is an essential part of our health maintenance.”

“For more than a two decades I had experienced persistent headaches and facial pain which had resulted in numerous trips to opticians, dentists, a Maxillofacial Surgeon and a neurologist culminating in a non-specific diagnosis of ‘atypical facial neuralgia’ and being prescribed powerful medication to try and control my symptoms. Unfortunately no one was able to find a cause of my chronic pain and I’m afraid I put up with it as I thought I had run out of options. A work colleague had known Mr Gajadharsingh for many years and suggested I see him as he might be able to a) find a cause b) treat my symptoms. I am very glad that I made that initial appointment as Gerry has, following a rigorous medical history, been able to help me with a course of (robust) osteopathy, massage and techniques I can do myself such as working on my posture and controlling my breathing and all without the aid of medication. For the first time in many years I am virtually pain free and if I do get an episode of pain, I am able to cope with it. I found Gerry to be extremely professional, knowledgeable, empathetic and very kind and he was able to help me with my symptoms. I have no hesitation in recommending Gerry as a first class osteopath and wish him and his practice continued success.”
