Our pharmacists and wellness practitioners can help you explore natural options, including
NuroKor bioelectronic therapy, supplements and lifestyle advice.
What Do We Mean by Natural Pain Management?
Natural pain management focuses on easing discomfort by supporting how your body works, rather
than relying only on stronger prescription medicines. This may include:
- Wearable technology such as NuroKor bioelectronic devices
- Topical products including gels, creams and heat or cooling patches
- Targeted nutritional support – for example magnesium or omega-3 fats
- Gentle movement, posture and lifestyle changes
- Complementary therapies such as acupuncture (at our Wellness Clinic)
Our aim is always the same:
- Reduce pain to a manageable level
- Improve your comfort, mobility and sleep
- Minimise side-effects where possible
Types of Pain We Can Support
We see people with many different kinds of pain. Some of the most common include:
- Back, neck and shoulder pain from posture, lifting or past injury
- Joint pain and stiffness including arthritis and wear-and-tear
- Sports strains and overuse injuries
- Nerve-related pain such as tingling, burning or shooting pains
- Everyday aches linked with stress, tension or long hours at work
If your pain has come on suddenly, is severe, or you have worrying symptoms such as chest pain,
difficulty breathing, severe headache, weakness, loss of sensation or changes in bladder or
bowel control, please seek urgent medical attention or call NHS 111 for
advice.
NuroKor & Bioelectronic Pain Relief at The Health Dispensary
One of our favourite options for natural pain management is NuroKor –
a small, wearable device that sends gentle electrical signals through the skin to stimulate
nerves and muscles. It is drug-free, non-invasive and can often be used alongside your
existing treatment.
NuroKor bioelectronic therapy may help with:
- Muscle aches and joint pain
- Post-exercise soreness and recovery
- Certain types of nerve and chronic pain
Our trained team can demonstrate how the device works, help you position the pads correctly and
advise how often to use it. We stock a range of NuroKor devices and accessories in-store and
selected items are also available through our
online shop.
How Our Pharmacists & Practitioners Can Help
Pain can have many causes, so we always start with a conversation. During your consultation we
will:
- Listen to your story and how pain is affecting your day-to-day life
- Review your current medicines and any health conditions
- Check for possible interactions or red-flag symptoms
- Discuss suitable natural, medical or combined options
- Agree a simple plan you feel confident to follow
Where appropriate we can also suggest other services at The Health Dispensary, such as
acupuncture or
blood tests to check for
underlying issues such as inflammation, vitamin D or B12 levels.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use natural pain relief alongside my prescribed medicines?
In many cases, yes – but it is important to check first. Our pharmacists will review your
current medicines and medical history to ensure anything suggested is safe and appropriate for
you.
Is NuroKor suitable for everyone?
NuroKor devices are not suitable for everyone, for example people with certain heart
conditions, pacemakers, epilepsy or during pregnancy. We will go through a short safety
checklist with you and advise if it is not suitable or if you should speak to your doctor
first.
Will natural pain management replace my usual medication?
Our aim is to complement your existing care, not to stop important medicines without a plan.
Sometimes natural approaches help you cope better day to day; in other cases your GP or
specialist may review and adjust medicines over time.
Do I need a GP referral?
No referral is needed. You can book directly with us online or by phone. If we feel you need
further medical investigation we will always signpost you appropriately.

If your pain is severe, sudden or associated with serious symptoms (such as chest pain,
