Pain Management Clinics are specialised clinics, and written referrals from your general practitioner or from a fellow consultant (so called tertiary referrals) are normally required before a Pain Management Consultant can see you.

Referrals from other health professionals such as physiotherapists, osteopaths and chiropractors are also acceptable, however your general practitioner will be kept informed. This is for your own protection. Your pain will be assessed and a treatment plan discussed with you; the plan will be sent to your general practitioner or to your referring consultant.

The aim of the Clinic is to reduce your level of pain, to restore your function and to improve your sense of well being.
