At the initial consultation, Dr Kandikattu took a nice lot of time to explain the MRI scan of my back in great detail. The actual pain relief injection procedure was extremely accurately carried out and Dr Kandikattu kept asking me if I was alright during the procedure. It was not half as painful as I was expecting – a cross between acupuncture and the dentist! His team included several nurses to support me. The results were incredibly good. The muscle spasm with severe pain that I had been suffering from for 6 months went away next day! Now, 6 weeks later, the pain is still gone. I would thoroughly recommend Dr Kandikattu’s treatment for pain relief.

Dr Kandikattu is an excellent doctor! I've seen him several times regarding pain management and I would trust him with my life. He's caring, compassionate and intuitive to your needs. He explains things so that all can understand. He is friendly and welcoming in clinic right up to the end of the day when most would be exhausted and less patient.

Dr Kandikattu is a shining example of what a great doctor should be. I have received excellent care on every consultation/treatment. He has been very gentle, caring and polite during both of the procedures I have had done. He always explains everything that he is doing and puts you at ease at all times. I cannot thank Dr Kandikattu enough for what he has done for me. I have suffered with chronic pain for 4 years and I have seen a lot of doctors over that period of time and not one comes close to the level of care I have receiving so far from Dr Kandikattu.

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.
