Your pain specialist doctor in Chennai
Common questions about consulting a pain specialist doctor at Trident Pain Clinics.
A pain specialist doctor is a physician trained in pain medicine — the diagnosis and treatment of persistent pain itself. Instead of a surgery-first approach, care combines precise diagnosis, image-guided procedures, targeted medicines and rehabilitation plans.
If pain has lasted more than a few weeks, disturbs your sleep or work, persists after surgery, or if back pain, headaches or nerve pain haven't settled with first-line care, a pain specialist consultation helps identify the exact source and the right treatment.
MBBS, MD. WIP-accredited in CIPS and FIPP; American Board certified in Headache Medicine. He is registered with the Tamil Nadu Medical Council and a member of the Indian Society for the Study of Pain.
