Interventional Pain Specialist

An interventional pain specialist treats long-lasting pain by finding where it comes from and relieving it with precise, minimally invasive procedures, alongside medicines and rehabilitation advice. The aim is less pain, better movement and a return to daily life.

Conditions we treat

• Chronic low back pain and neck pain
• Sciatica and pain, numbness or tingling travelling down the arm or leg
• Pain from a slipped disc or worn spinal joints
• Knee, hip and shoulder joint pain
• Nerve pain, including pain after shingles
• Headache and facial pain that has not settled with medicines

Treatment options

Depending on your diagnosis, treatment may include image-guided injections, nerve blocks, joint injections and other targeted procedures, together with medicines and exercise advice. Your specialist will explain which option suits you, what to expect, and the possible risks before anything is done.

When to see a pain specialist

Consider a visit if pain has lasted more than a few weeks, keeps coming back, or limits your sleep, work or walking. Back pain with weakness in the legs, or loss of control of urine or stool, needs urgent medical attention.
