Pain Clinic

This can become a debilitating cycle, because pain can stop us leading normal, active lives and – if left untreated – can also lead to psychological symptoms.

We take an integrated approach to pain management and our specialists work closely with physiotherapists, psychologists, neurosurgeons, and orthopaedic surgeons, to develop an effective treatment plan personally tailored to your needs.

There are various types of pain that can feel different depending on the part of the body they affect. The way each of us reacts to pain is also variable – some people may experience no pain from a condition that causes severe pain in another person.

Some common pain conditions are:

• Spinal pain, neck pain, thoracic pain, and low back pain
• Headache and facial pain
• Abdominal pain
• Pelvic pain
• Nerve pain (neuropathic pain)
• Pain due to decreased blood supply (vascular pain)
• Pain secondary to diabetes
• Pain secondary to shingles (postherpetic pain)
• Post-surgical and post traumatic pain
• Pain after amputation
• Joint pain
• Chest wall pain
• Cancer pain.
