Dr. Nitish Mandal
First visit
You do not need to arrive with the right diagnosis. Bring your story, your reports, and what you have already tried. The first visit is to find the source of the pain.
How the visit is run
Pain is inadequately addressed when it is treated only as a symptom. It affects sleep, work, family, and walking around your own house.
The practice puts conversation and physical examination ahead of treating a scan alone. Accurate diagnosis comes before an injection, a block, or an infusion is chosen.
Bring these if you have them
- MRI, X-ray, or ultrasound reports, even if someone said they were normal.
- A list of tablets and injections you have already tried.
- Discharge papers if the pain started or stayed after surgery.
What happens after you arrive
You are heard, then examined. Imaging is used when it helps, not as a substitute for finding where the pain starts.
A diagnostic block is sometimes used when the source is still unclear after examination. For certain pain diagnoses it can clarify the source more clearly than MRI or CT alone.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need a referral from an orthopaedic surgeon?
- No. You can book Koramangala or J.P. Nagar directly. Prior appointment is preferred.
- Who is a pain physician?
- A Consultant Pain Physician treats pain with diagnosis, targeted injections, blocks, and infusions, rather than with surgery as the first step. Dr. Nitish Mandal's qualifications listed are MBBS, MD, FIPM, and TIPM (Nashville).
- Will I have a procedure on the first day?
- Not always. Some people need only a plan. Some need a diagnostic block or a treatment the same week. That decision is made after examination.
- Is cashless insurance available?
- Not currently. You may still submit bills and prescriptions for reimbursement where your policy allows.
The first visit may end with a clear plan and no procedure that day. That is still a useful visit. Treatment is chosen after the source is identified.
