This is the second treatment I have received under Dr Kandikattu and I was very happy to see him again. He is extremely polite, professional and thorough and I would not hesitate to recommend him.

I recently had injections for acute pain in my back. It's early days but I feel like a new man - it's as though I have had a weight lifted from my shoulders and I'm much less grumpy. Dr Kandikattu is terrific - very empathetic and caring - he is very knowledgeable, diagnosing my problem quickly and with confidence ( which gave me confidence ) He went to great lengths during the procedure to ensure I was not experiencing undue pain - in fact I hardly felt anything. The very same day I took my dog for a walk with a spring in my step - something I hadn't experienced for over 4 years and I'm told it may be up to 14 days to feel the full benefit - I can't wait. I have no hesitation in recommending Dr Kandikattu - thank you Dr

Profile


Dr Kandikattu is one of the few pain medicine consultants in East Anglia to have gained certification in the Fellowship in Interventional Pain Practice (FIPP). He uses the biopsychosocial model of pain to offer modern assessment and management of his patients’ pain at the Peterborough City & Stamford Hospital, Fitzwilliam and Boston West and Clementine Churchill Hospitals.

“Whilst doing my pain training at the Royal Marsden Hospital, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, St Mary’s Hospital and Hillingdon Hospital, I was inspired by the pioneers in pain management there and I became keen to learn new techniques.”

“I am pleased to now be able to tutor students studying for their MSc in Regional Anaesthetics at the University of East Anglia and I hope that I can instil some of desire to embrace new and modern pain management techniques in these trainees.”

Dr Kandikattu offers comprehensive pain management to people suffering from chronic pain from their head to their toes including: cancer, musculoskeletal and spinal (neck, chest, lower back, sciatica), neuropathic, complex regional pain syndrome, fibromyalgia, chronic headaches and persistent post-surgical pain.

He performs a full range of pain interventions including epidurals, facet and sacroiliac joint injections, radiofrequency denervations, most of which are image-guided using x-ray or ultrasound guidance. He is also an expert in treating acute pain and inpatient pain management.

He offers outpatient appointments and inpatient care for pain management intervention at the Fitzwilliam and Boston West Hospitals. Patients struggling with chronic post-operative pain may need further pain management to relieve their discomfort and Dr Kandikattu can offer a back-up service for them too.

“I use this holistic model of approach for all my patients, taking all the biological, psychological and, social factors into account as each can impact on a patient’s pain. It’s important to treat patients as a whole.” said Dr Kandikattu.
