About me
I'm a UK-trained Consultant in Pain Medicine and Anaesthesia (FFPMRCA), practising as a consultant since 2012. I assess and treat persistent pain including back pain, neck pain, sciatica (leg pain), nerve pain, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), and pain that continues after surgery.
My focus is on understanding what is driving the pain and building a practical plan to improve day-to-day function � movement, sleep, work and quality of life. Treatment may include medication optimisation, rehabilitation and physiotherapy guidance, and image-guided injections and other targeted procedures.
I also contribute to education and clinical research in pain medicine, with publications and invited teaching.
