When the Pain Doesn’t Stop: Advanced Pain Management for Complex and Degenerative Conditions

Because living with pain shouldn’t mean learning to live in pain.
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 understand that for many patients, pain is not the symptom of a single problem - it’s the result of several overlapping conditions that require specialist, joined-up care.
The Challenge: Complex Pain in a Complex System
Degenerative and long-term pain conditions rarely exist in isolation. A patient might be living with:
Osteoarthritis and nerve pain
Post-surgical pain and joint instability
Fibromyalgia with widespread musculoskeletal pain
Chronic regional pain following injury
The problem? Traditional healthcare pathways often treat each symptom separately. Different specialists focus on different parts of the body, but no one is looking at the full picture.
Many patients are left cycling through:
Multiple referrals
Medication-only management
Long waiting times
Fragmented communication between departments
The result is frustration, dependency on painkillers, and a steady decline in quality of life.
The Manchester Pain Clinic Difference
We believe in a smarter, safer, and more personal approach to complex pain management.Our Consultant-led team specialises in diagnosing and treating patients with multiple or degenerative pain conditions—even when others haven’t found answers.
Our approach includes:
Comprehensive assessment – We take time to listen, review your history, and identify all the factors contributing to your pain.
Advanced imaging and diagnostics – Modern tools like MRI, fluoroscopy, and ultrasound help us pinpoint the source of pain.
Minimally invasive interventions – From image-guided joint and nerve injections to radiofrequency treatments, we offer precise, effective relief.
Multidisciplinary care – We collaborate with physiotherapists, psychologists, and rehabilitation experts to support your recovery.
Medication review and reduction – Our goal is long-term improvement, not long-term dependency.
Each plan is tailored to the individual - not just the diagnosis.
Complex Conditions We Commonly Treat
We regularly support patients living with:
Degenerative spine and disc disease
Osteoarthritis of the knee, hip, or shoulder
Fibromyalgia and widespread pain syndromes
Chronic nerve pain and neuropathy
Post-surgical or post-injury pain
Multi-site pain related to age, inflammation, or autoimmune disease
Even when pain is multifactorial or unexplained, we work to identify what can be improved, and how to achieve lasting relief.
