Across Manchester and Cheshire, thousands of people are living with multiple, complex pain conditions - from arthritis and spinal degeneration to nerve damage and fibromyalgia. Many have spent years navigating appointments, waiting lists, and repeat prescriptions under NHS care, yet still find themselves asking the same question - Why is no one helping me get better?

At The Manchester Pain Clinic, we help patients uncover the real reason behind persistent, unexplained pain - and ACNES is one of the most underdiagnosed conditions we see.

Celebrating an extraordinary milestone for our Lead Consultant, Dr Jonathan Rajan – a moment that not only highlights his professional excellence but also reflects our clinic’s unwavering commitment to helping patients live free from chronic pain.

For many people living with persistent pain, the journey to answers isn’t quick. In fact, studies show that it can take. At The Manchester Pain Clinic, we believe this wait is far too long - and we’re determined to change the story.

You feel it, but you can’t describe it. A dull ache, a persistent stiffness, or an unusual discomfort that comes and goes without warning. You’ve explained it to friends, to family, even to your GP - but still, it remains an unsolved mystery.

You wake up with a stiff back. Your shoulder twinges when you lift the kettle. You’ve stopped going on long walks because your knee “just isn’t what it used to be.”It’s not excruciating - just annoying. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone - and you may be experiencing the slow, silent onset of chronic pain.

The Problem with a “Pill-First” Culture Over-the-counter and prescription painkillers are everywhere. But here’s what many patients don’t realise that they don’t treat the root cause of your pain

We all experience occasional aches - after a workout, during cold weather, or from sitting too long. But what happens when those minor aches and pains start sticking around?

At The Manchester Pain Clinic, we understand the complex, life-limiting effects of fibromyalgia - and we’re here to help you reclaim your life with personalised, consultant-led care.

Have you ever felt a sharp, shooting, burning or electric-like pain that doesn’t make sense—even when there’s no obvious injury? If so, you could be experiencing neuropathic pain—a complex condition that affects the way your nerves send messages to your brain.

Joint pain can creep into every corner of life - from getting dressed in the morning to walking the dog or lifting shopping bags. If you’re living with ongoing joint pain in your knees, hips, shoulders, or back, you’re not alone - and you don’t have to just “live with it.”

Whether you're an avid runner, weekend tennis player, or enjoy five-a-side with friends, staying active is a vital part of living a healthy lifestyle. But when sports injuries strike, they can quickly derail not just your game - but your overall wellbeing

Studies suggest that up to 1 in 3 patients may still experience pain a year after certain common procedures. A survey of 5,000 people attending outpatient pain clinics found that 22% linked their chronic pain directly to a previous surgery.
