Chronic pain
Structured evaluation for pain that has persisted beyond normal healing time, with neuromodulation-based approaches used only where genuinely indicated.
What it is
Chronic pain is pain that continues for three months or longer, often after the original injury or cause has healed, or without a single clear cause at all. It can affect the back, joints, nerves, or be more widespread, and frequently interacts with sleep, mood, and daily function in ways a single scan or test won't capture. A structured assessment looks at the pain pattern as a whole rather than chasing one isolated finding.
Common symptoms & concerns
- Pain lasting three months or more, constant or recurring
- Pain that hasn't responded to standard first-line treatment
- Nerve-type pain: burning, tingling, or shooting sensations
- Pain that disrupts sleep, work, or daily activities
- Reduced response to previous pain management approaches
Assessment & care
Assessment approach
Assessment includes a structured history of the pain's onset, pattern, and prior treatment, along with a relevant physical and neurological examination. Where appropriate, this informs whether neuromodulation or other targeted approaches are worth considering, always against a clear clinical rationale.
In-scope care
In-scope care includes chronic pain assessment, coordination with the relevant specialists, and neuromodulation-based approaches where clinically indicated and discussed with you individually.
How we treat it
Physiotherapy-led rehabilitation, targeted injections, nerve and brain stimulation, and Ayurvedic and yoga-based support, coordinated as one programme.

Generally once it persists for three months or longer, beyond typical tissue-healing time, though the pattern matters as much as the duration.
No. It's considered only after assessment, for patients where it's genuinely indicated, not as a routine offering.
