Relieving Chronic Pain

Pain can impact every part of your life, whether it stems from a chronic condition, arthritis, back problems, nerve issues, or conditions like fibromyalgia.

Everyone experiences pain differently and your consultant will take time to fully understand your symptoms, circumstances and needs along with an accurate diagnosis.

Following diagnosis a personalised treatment plan will be put in place. Treatment options vary, including medications, physiotherapy, pain relief injections and psychotherapy. Often combining different approaches can provide an effective relief.

There’s no single approach to treating chronic pain, but the goal is to help you reclaim your quality of life.

The focus on treatment is to give you the freedom to enjoy daily activities without significant pain in the future.

We welcome patients who may be suffering from chronic pain or referred from another specialist, for example a neurologist or orthopaedic surgeon. Our pain management team are there to help whatever the position, or cause, which can include:

  • Arthritis
  • Physical injury
  • Back & neck pain
  • Headaches & migraine
  • Muscle pain
  • Fibromyalgia

Diagnosis & Treatment

Electromyography to test muscle activity could be helpful, as can nerve conduction studies, or blood and urine analysis. Listening to you is equally important, to find effective treatment which may include:

  • Pain relief injections
  • Specialist medication
  • Physiotherapy
  • Psychological support
  • Nerve stimulation
  • Nerve blocking

Ongoing, recurring and chronic pain has a massive impact on your wellbeing. Finding the root cause of your pain means we can build a treatment plan that will work for you, through medication, physiotherapy, psychological support, or a combined approach.
