Centre for Pain Management

What do we treat?

The Centre for Pain Management treats a variety of chronic pain illnesses.
We prefer to treat pain that has been present for over six months and has not responded to conventional therapy.
This does not apply to cancer pain, which we will see as soon as possible.

Common conditions seen at the Centre for Pain Management are:-

  • Fibromyalgia
  • Post Herpetic Neuralgia (Shingles)
  • Failed back surgery pain
  • Sympathetic dystrophy (Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome)
  • Post hernia surgery pain
  • Chronic pelvic pain
  • Pancreatic pain
  • Neck pain, post operative and whiplash
  • Cancer pain
  • Chronic non surgical back pain
  • Diabetic nerve pain
  • Multiple sclerosis pain
  • Phantom pain
