Oxford Pain Consultants

Pain Management

Improved pain management can be achieved through the appropriate use of medication (pharmacotherapy), injections (interventional therapy) and psychotherapy (both one to one psychotherapy and group pain management).

Back Pain

At Oxford Pain Consultants a holistic approach is taken to manage long term chronic back pain and we work in conjunction with local Physiotherapists and Psychologists.

Interventional Pain Management Techniques

Oxford Pain Consultants are able to provide a wide range of interventional pain management procedures. The appropriateness of these procedures will be discussed with clients as required.

Neck Pain

Chronic neck pain is very common. Up to 20% of the population suffer with chronic neck pain. It can be very disabling resulting in significant impairment in a person's quality of life.

Neuropathic Pain

Neuropathic pain (neuralgia) is pain that arises from a dysfunction along the length of a nerve. The nerve dysfunction and thus the pain signals can arise from the nerve endings themselves or anywhere along the nerve as it passes through to the spinal cord and the brain.

Spinal Cord Stimulation

Dr Sawyer is very pleased to announce that spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a service now offered by Oxford Pain Consultants at the Manor Hospital, Oxford.

Spinal Cord Stimulation is an implanted treatment modality utilizing electrical stimulation of the spinal cord to block out pain signals.

This well researched treatment modality is approved by NICE in the management of chronic nerve pain and chronic pain following spinal surgery.

Dr Sawyer has over 10 years of experience in implanting and managing spinal cord stimulators for a variety of clinical conditions.
