Overview
What is chronic pain?
Some pain doesn't fit neatly into one body region — widespread pain, cancer-related pain, diabetic neuropathy, shingles pain, complex regional pain syndrome, or pain no scan has explained.
This is where a dedicated pain specialist matters most. We assess the whole picture and build a plan combining medication, image-guided procedures and long-term support.
Common symptoms
- Pain lasting more than three months
- Burning, electric or shooting pain
- Pain that has spread beyond the original site
- Broken sleep, fatigue and low mood
- Being told nothing more can be done
What causes it
- Nerve damage from diabetes, surgery or shingles
- Cancer and treatment-related pain
- Complex regional pain syndrome
- Widespread pain conditions such as fibromyalgia
- Central sensitisation of the nervous system

Normal scans are common in nerve-driven pain. We diagnose from your symptoms and examination, not imaging alone.
Will I need to stop my current medication?+
Not abruptly. We review everything you take and taper only where a safer option exists.
Do you treat cancer pain?+
Yes, alongside your oncology team, including advanced nerve and plexus blocks.
