Dr subhash kandikattu was absolutely fantastic, I have never felt so safe with a doctor before. Let alone calm, I suffer with serve anxiety and he managed to calm me down withing seconds. Explained absolutely everything and made sure I understood. The procedure itself, was pain free, little tugging at the end but he made sure with every injection that I was okay and comfortable. That it was bare able and asked if I was happy to proceed after each injection. He also spoke through out the procedure. If I could have him as my personal doctor I 100% What a fanstic influence on the NHS he is a credit to their team.

I was referred to Dr Subhash Kandikattu from my Orthopaedic surgeon for advise on pain treatment for Spondylylothesis, a decision for nerve block injections to be adminstered was agreed. On 15th March 2021 I was admitted to the Fitztwilliam Hospital where all staff involved in my care were professional and caring. Dr Subhash Kandikattu explained to me all that was going to happen during the procedure and where I would be having the injections in great detail. During the procedure he was very attentive and always checked with me first before continuing with anything to see if I was in any pain, if I was then he saw to it immediately. I could not have asked for better treatment. I have just received my follow up telephone call and due to the nerve block injections not being affective, he has now going to try spinal epdidurals. A very kind, caring and professional doctor and would have no hesitation in recommending him to friends.

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.
