He was very gentle did not feel any pain as I am terrified of needles ,he kept me at ease .very very good Dr best I’ve ever had Gloria blute
A great doctor, explained the proceedure as we went along, great experience and would recommend.
He listens to you at the consultation to really understand where your pain is. During the procedure He is very attentive and has a great sense of humour. His care is excellent and he keeps you as comfortable as possible during the procedure . 10/10
This was at Stamford hospital but it’s not on the list
I was having injections in my spine. This is the second time I have needed to use the services of Mr. Kandikattu, having already had injections in my shoulders.
I was treated extremely well and I was well taken care off. During the procedure yesterday my neck was hurting but Mr. Kandikattu listened to my concerns and gave me the opportunity to relax my head/shoulders before going onto the next phase of my treatment. I really appreciated this.

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.
