About me
Specialist in Spinal Pain Diagnosis and Interventional Treatment
I graduated from the Medical Academy in Gda?sk, Poland, and completed my postgraduate specialist training in Anaesthesia at University Hospitals in Leicester.
I maintain strong professional links with my home country and am Past President of the Interventional Pain Medicine Section of the Polish Pain Society.
Clinical Practice
I see patients with chronic pain of any origin, with a particular specialist interest in the diagnosis and interventional treatment of spinal pain.
My clinical practice is founded on the best available scientific evidence and aligns with the recommendations of the International Spinal Intervention Society (ISIS), of which I am a member.
Accurate diagnosis is central to effective treatment. I diagnose the source of spinal pain using highly selective, fluoroscopy?guided local anaesthetic blocks and provocation procedures. I work closely with spinal surgeons and physiotherapists to provide coordinated, patient?centred care.
I also undertake medico?legal work.
Treatments Offered
I offer a comprehensive range of interventional and medical pain management treatments, including:
Nucleoplasty � a minimally invasive alternative to surgery for the treatment of prolapsed intervertebral discs
Epiduroplasty � treatment of adhesions within the epidural space due to previous disc prolapse or spinal surgery
Radiofrequency treatment of nerves conducting pain
Sympathetic nerve blocks
Neuromodulation techniques
Medication management
I accept referrals from General Practitioners and Consultant colleagues.
Consultations can be conducted in English or Polish.
