I cannot thank Dr Kandikattu enough; from the time he spent with me on my initial consultation going into lots of detail of my condition, and the different options that could be taken, and his ultimate recommendation. Throughout the procedure he instilled confidence and calm in me, which resulted in me trusting the process and being able to relax. No swearing which was a first from me as that's my go to response when scared. Highly recommend.

He was thoroughly professional, explained the procedure (steroid epidural) and although he warned that relief from my back pain might take some time in just a few days I feel much better

Doctor Kandikattu is a very caring professional. At all stages of my treatment he would inform me of what he was doing and ask how I was. He came and saw me after my procedure. He is a credit to the profession

Very communicative explaining everything as the procedure progressed. He was caring and understanding which gave me confidence at an extremely anxious time. Very professional throughout.

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.
