80% of adults experience back pain at some point in their lives

Backache is often an indicator that our muscles, joints, ligaments or discs being overstretched or twisted. This may be caused by an injury or medical conditions such as slipped disc or scoliosis. For some, back pain is a recurring or chronic issue due to poor posture or lifestyle habits.

It is easy to dismiss back pain as a common ailment that poses minor inconvenience and put off treatment. However, delaying treatment for back pain can lead to chronic pain or complications such as pinched nerves, alignment problems and/or fixed vertebrae, which may require more complex, invasive and costly medical intervention down the road.

Wonderful app wonderful service

Have been using this for a year to help my grandfather who frequently gets aspiration pneumonia and has difficulty leaving the house. The app is so easy to use, and the cherry on top is the wonderful service behind the app. Had some difficulty finding a doctor recently and Hakim called me back personally twice to ensure a doctor was found. Thank you so much, cannot recommend this app more.

Doctor is qualified, friendly

Had a good experience with Homage's teleconsultation. The doctor is qualified, friendly and guided me on examination. She also explained my symptoms to me in detail, which is useful. The report provided has detailed information, and medicine was delivered to me on the same day even though my appointment was in the evening.
