Body Paragraph Title

General aches and pains: what they mean

General aches and pains can affect daily life and may point to underlying health issues. Whether it’s muscle stiffness after activity, unexplained joint pain, or generalised discomfort, our GPs in Farnham start with a careful symptom review and a targeted examination. Early assessment helps identify potential causes such as strain, overuse, arthritis, or less common conditions and supports body aches and pains causes being addressed promptly.

Our Farnham clinic offers a practical, patient‑centred approach. We explain the findings in plain language and work with you to develop a plan that fits your needs, including self‑care strategies, timely investigations if indicated, and simple steps to improve mobility and comfort. If appropriate, we can also discuss a referral to a private physiotherapist or other specialists and coordinate follow‑up to monitor progress. For convenience and continuity, consider linking this care with our broader Farnham General Practice services.
