Our pain management teams run services that aim to help treat patients with severe long-term pain that appears resistant to normal treatments. A wide range of options are available for treating our patients, such as acupuncture, nerve blocks and drug treatment.
Understanding pain In simple terms, chronic pain is pain that doesn’t go away.
There are many reasons why pain can become chronic but often there is no identifiable cause and therefore no diagnosis. As time goes on, the initial trigger of pain may no longer be a factor.
Chronic pain typically interferes significantly with day-to-day activities and can cause psychological distress. Our chronic pain service aims to help you to reduce your pain symptoms and improve your quality of life. Due to the complex nature of chronic pain, all members of our team work together using a holistic, multidisciplinary approach.
Pain management services aim to help individuals with chronic pain improve their quality of life by reducing pain levels, increasing function and mobility, and enhancing overall well-being. By addressing both the physical and psychological aspects of pain, pain management services strive to provide a holistic approach to pain relief and management.
