How we treat
A clear protocol, with no magical promises — from the first visit on.
- 01
Assessment
Structured anamnesis, physical exam, and review of prior tests. We map the pain type, triggers, and functional impact.
- 02
Diagnosis
Evidence-based clinical hypothesis aligned with the biopsychosocial model. Complementary tests when indicated.
- 03
Treatment plan
Joint decision on the approach — interventional medicine, neuromodulation, acupuncture, adjuvant therapies — with clear criteria and boundaries.
- 04
Follow-up
Periodic reviews, plan adjustments, functional indicators, and satisfaction tracked via published NPS.
When it makes sense to seek evaluation
Every pain has its moment to receive specialized attention. These are some signs that suggest talking to the clinic could help.
- Pain that persists for more than three weeks
- Pain that returned despite previous treatments
- Pain that limits sleep, work, or daily routine
- Pain after surgery or procedure that does not improve as expected
- Pain associated with loss of strength, sensation, or range of motion
Every case is unique. Talking to our team helps you understand what makes sense for you.

Satisfaction indicators methodology (NPS)
Intrador uses automated Net Promoter Score (NPS) satisfaction surveys, sent to patients after appointments through the Agende+ platform.
Surveys are triggered on average 1 day after the visit, respecting minimum intervals between collections and using standardized messages — without manual editing of results.
The indicators consider real patient responses collected continuously since June 2024, with periodic aggregation.
