Call 020 7467 4344
The medical specialty that focuses on the evaluation, treatment, and prevention of pain is called Pain Medicine. Pain Medicine can cover a wide spectrum of disorders including cancer pain, acute pain and chronic pain. Due to its nature, Pain Medicine is a multidisciplinary medical practise, recognising that management of pain requires the skills of more than one group of specialists.
A Pain Medicine specialist can act as both a consultant to other physicians or as the principal treating physician, and can offer a wide range of care from prescribing medication, coordinating rehabilitation, performing relieving procedures to providing counselling to patient and families and liaising with other healthcare professionals.
