Reviews
He totally listened to me and explained things in an easier way to understand.
He explained where I was going wrong,what I could do to help myself,then explained a procedure to reduce my pain in my coccyx.
He talked to me,not at me like some doctors.he booked me in for facet joint injection.i would thoroughly recommend him.
Dr Kandikattu has helped me enormously. I have suffered with ongoing back issues over many years and he has now performed two procedures on my lower lumber. He has explained my symptoms well and has been the only medic who has diagnosed the numbness in my calf and foot is not due to my 30yr plus Type 1 Diabeties but due to my back issues. A great relief as this can be reversed.
Thank you Dr Kanidattu.
Dr Kandikattu is the most pleasant and supportive doctor that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting
his demeanour is perfect for his role as it calms you down through the pain and discomfort of the procedures that we endure.
his constant communication with the patient is the best approach, again calming and helping us to understand what is going on, other doctors are quiet or talk about us in the third person which is rather off-putting not knowing whats happening.
in summary, thank you Dr Kandikattu for your professional and personal attention throughout the last few years wheer we have tried many options to resolve my pains and dicomforts. Please do not change your ways - you are the best !!!!!
The Doc explained everything clearly to me and answered all relevant questions.
Made me feel comfortable and talked to me through the whole procedure explaining everything he was doing.
This doctor and his staff were amazing no words can explain.
They are very polite and extremely understanding.
I would recommend never been treated so well.

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.
