Interactive 3D Pain Assessment & Body Mapping
Accurately pinpoint your symptoms before your specialist consultation. Rotate our 3D anatomical body model, paint your painful regions, and describe depth and character so Dr. Raj Anand can target the exact source of your pain.
How the 3D Pain Assessment Works
Pain can be hard to describe in words. Visual symptom mapping gives your doctor an accurate, multi-dimensional view of your discomfort before you walk into the consulting room.
Rotate & Pinpoint
Spin the interactive 3D body model to view front, back, or side angles. Tap and drag right over the exact areas where you feel pain.
Describe Depth & Severity
Indicate whether the pain is deep within a joint, superficial on the skin, burning, aching, sharp, or radiating down a limb, rated on a 1–10 clinical scale.
Specialist Triage
Your completed body map is reviewed by triple specialist Dr. Raj Anand to guide diagnostic imaging, precision image-guided injections, or rehabilitation.
What Pain Conditions Can You Map?
Our 3D digital assessment captures acute, subacute, and chronic persistent pain across all anatomical regions:
Lower Back Pain & Sciatica
Aching in the lower back, shooting leg pain, or difficulty standing and walking due to disc wear or nerve irritation.
Neck Pain & Chronic Headaches
Stiff neck, pain spreading into the shoulders or arms, and persistent headaches that start at the back of the head.
Hip, Knee & Shoulder Arthritis
Joint stiffness, swelling, and aching that limits walking, climbing stairs, or reaching overhead.
Nerve Pain, Burning & Tingling
Burning sensations, pins and needles, or hypersensitivity caused by irritated or damaged nerves.
Ongoing Pain After Previous Surgery
Continued back, neck, or nerve discomfort after past spinal operations or joint surgeries.
Why We Built Visual 3D Mapping
As a triple specialist in Pain Medicine, Rheumatology, and Internal Medicine (MBBS, FRACP, FFPMANZCA), Dr. Raj Anand recognizes that pain radiation patterns—such as pain travelling from the lower back through the buttock to the foot—often reveal the true anatomical culprit faster than written forms alone.

Common Questions About the 3D Pain Assessment
What is the Interactive 3D Pain Assessment tool?
It is a specialized medical tool developed for The Specialist Pain Centre that allows you to rotate a 3D digital body model and paint exactly where you feel discomfort. You can annotate multiple painful regions, indicate depth (superficial vs deep), rate pain severity on a 1–10 scale, and describe the sensation (such as burning, aching, sharp, or tingling).
How does Dr. Raj Anand use this assessment during my consultation?
Dr. Anand and the clinical team review your 3D pain map alongside your medical history and imaging (MRI, CT, X-ray). Pinpointing radiation paths and exact dermatomes helps differentiate radiating nerve pain (radiculopathy) from facet joint arthropathy, sacroiliac dysfunction, or myofascial pain, allowing Dr. Anand to design a targeted, non-surgical treatment plan.
Do I need a doctor's referral before using the 3D pain assessment?
No referral is needed to use the free 3D pain assessment tool online. However, to claim Medicare specialist rebates for your subsequent medical consultation with Dr. Raj Anand (specialist consultation items 2801 / 2806), a current referral from your GP or referring specialist is required.
Is my medical and symptom information private and secure?
Yes. All assessment data is encrypted in transit and at rest in compliance with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). Data is only accessible to authorized clinical personnel at The Specialist Pain Centre.
Where is The Specialist Pain Centre located in Sydney?
The practice is located at Suite 14A, Level 5, St George Private Hospital, 1 South Street, Kogarah NSW 2217, with on-site hospital parking, accessible elevator access, and short walking distance from Kogarah railway station.
