Understanding Pain and Its Impact

What Is Chronic Pain?

Chronic pain persists beyond the typical healing period, often lasting weeks, months, or even years. It can arise from a variety of sources, including prior injuries, nerve dysfunction, inflammation, or degenerative conditions. Persistent pain not only affects physical function but also emotional wellbeing, sleep quality, and overall lifestyle.

How Pain Causes Suffering

Inadequately treated pain contributes to decreased mobility, weakened mental health, and reduced productivity. Expert pain management is essential to address both physical symptoms and the emotional burden that chronic pain can impose.

Comprehensive Pain Management Services

Dr Nawarski offers a broad spectrum of pain management treatments, tailored to the individual needs of each patient. These services are delivered in clinical environments equipped for advanced interventions.

1. Pain Assessment and Diagnosis

Before any treatment is recommended, Dr Nawarski conducts thorough clinical assessments to understand the underlying causes of pain. This includes reviewing medical history, physical examination, reviewing imaging results, and listening closely to the patient’s description of their pain.

2. Individualised Treatment Planning

Once a diagnosis is established, Dr Nawarski designs personalised strategies that may combine multiple treatments. His goal is not just symptom relief but helping patients regain their function, confidence, and enjoyment of life.

Leading Pain Management Techniques

Injection Therapies

Injection-based interventions are cornerstone treatments for many pain conditions. These can deliver targeted medication directly to problematic nerves or joints.

Some examples include:

X-ray & Image-guided Facet Joint Injections – Targeting facet joints to reduce inflammation and pain.

Trigger Point Injections – Effective for muscle knots and localized pain points.

Epidural and Nerve Block Injections – Designed to interrupt pain signals from affected nerve roots.

These procedures are performed with precision using imaging guidance, enhancing both safety and effectiveness.

Radiofrequency Denervation

Radiofrequency denervation is an advanced technique that uses targeted energy to interrupt pain-carrying nerve fibers. This can provide prolonged relief, especially for spinal pain conditions.

Radiofrequency interventions are especially valuable for patients seeking alternatives to repeated steroid injections or ongoing medication use.

Collaborative, Holistic Approach

Dr Nawarski’s philosophy emphasises a holistic and team-based approach to pain relief. While medical interventions form a core component of treatment, he often collaborates with physiotherapists and psychologists to address broader aspects of pain.

Physical Rehabilitation

Physiotherapists work with patients to improve strength, flexibility, and posture—factors that can reduce pain and support long-term recovery.

Psychological Support

Pain is not only a physical experience; the emotional impact of persistent pain can be profound. Integrating psychological care supports coping strategies, reduces fear-avoidance behavior, and improves treatment outcomes. This integrated model enhances a patient’s ability to manage pain more effectively.
