Chronic pain management in the North East of England
Dr Amit Kumar
MB BS, MD, FRCA, FFPMRCA |
I was appointed as a Consultant in Pain Management and Anaesthetics at Sunderland Royal Hospital in 2005. I am currently the Clinical Lead for Pain Service at South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust. I also hold practicing privilege at Spire Washington Hospital. I bring with me 15 years of experience in managing patients suffering from chronic pain. Chronic pain often falls into the categories of fibromyalgia, headaches, back or neck pain, sciatica, neuropathic pain or joint pains. Patients are welcome even with undiagnosed chronic pain conditions. The range of treatment offered are medication review, joint injections, spinal injections, nerve blocks and electroacupuncture. The injection procedures are done under ultrasound guidance or x-ray imaging. |
