Reviews
Dr. K is very attentive and I felt very safe in his care during the procedure
Just had Dr Kandikattu perform a procedure on my back. Felt absolutely no pain, he talked me through every step of the way. Could not recommend him high enough.
This is my second time having treatment with Mr Kandikattu for my lower back pain and on both occasions I have felt very confident during the procedures. Mr Kandikattu and his team made me feel very comfortable and explained the procedure step by step.
Very patient and always made sure I was ok
Dr Kandikattu has always been extremely welcoming, pleasant and jovial, whilst obviously very knowledgeable. He put me at ease throughout the whole procedure and spoke to me at every step to ensure I was comfortable and knew what the next 'phase' was.
Really pleasant, very thorough and I thank him a lot for the care & attention I received.

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.
