Always a pleasure to invest time in collaboration that genuinely elevates patient care.

This week, The Manchester Pain Clinic had the opportunity to attend a practice-based session at Harris & Ross, with our own Dr Jonny Rajan joining as guest speaker. The discussion was highly constructive and centred on optimising patient pathways, aligning physiotherapy and pain medicine more seamlessly, and identifying smarter, more joined-up ways of working for the benefit of patients.

Sessions like this are where real progress happens, shared expertise, open dialogue and a collective commitment to evidence-led outcomes. By working closely with trusted physiotherapy partners such as Harris & Ross, we continue to strengthen integrated care models that deliver better experiences and better results.

Thank you to the Harris & Ross team for the warm welcome and collaborative spirit. We look forward to building on this momentum together.

This week, The Manchester Pain Clinic was delighted to host a practice-based meeting with the outstanding team at Harris & Ross Healthcare.

A genuinely energising session centred on shared learning, clinical insight and open collaboration, all with one clear objective, delivering better, faster and more joined-up outcomes for patients. These conversations matter. When pain specialists and physiotherapists align early, challenge thinking and exchange expertise, patients benefit from more integrated care pathways and clearer treatment journeys.

This is collaboration in action, investing in training, strengthening professional networks and building partnerships that put patient outcomes firmly at the centre. We’re proud to be working alongside forward-thinking physiotherapy teams who share our commitment to evidence-led care and continuous improvement.

More to come as we continue to collaborate, innovate and raise the bar together.

Targeted pain relief. Precise treatment. Real results.

When chronic pain refuses to settle, tablets and rest often aren’t enough. This is where specialist pain injections can make a meaningful difference, targeting the source of pain rather than masking the symptoms.

At The Manchester Pain Clinic, we offer consultant-led, image-guided injections designed to reduce pain, calm irritated nerves and help restore day-to-day function. For many private and insured patients across Manchester and Cheshire, these treatments form a powerful part of a wider pain management strategy.

Common injections we provide include:

• Occipital nerve injections (occipital nerve blocks) to help manage chronic headaches, migraines and neck-related pain
• ACNES injections for Anterior Cutaneous Nerve Entrapment Syndrome - a frequently missed cause of persistent abdominal pain
• Spinal and joint injections for back pain, sciatica, arthritis and degenerative conditions
• Nerve root and facet joint injections for targeted, longer-lasting relief

Each treatment is carefully assessed, explained and tailored, no guesswork, no one-size-fits-all approach.

Why private patients choose injections with us:

• Rapid access - be seen immediately
• Consultant-delivered, evidence-based care
• Options for self-funding and private medical insurance
• Clinics conveniently located across Manchester and Cheshire
• A calm, professional experience where you feel listened to

Pain doesn’t have to be permanent, and relief may be closer than you think.

Still waiting to be seen on the NHS? Your pain can’t wait that long.

Across Manchester and Cheshire, thousands of patients are stuck on NHS pain clinic waiting lists, often facing delays of many months, sometimes years, while symptoms worsen and quality of life steadily erodes.

At The Manchester Pain Clinic, private consultations with highly experienced Dr Jonny Rajan come with no waiting list.

That means:
• Rapid access to a leading pain consultant
• Early, accurate diagnosis
• Clear, personalised treatment plans
• Fast onward referrals for scans and procedures if needed
• A proactive approach before pain becomes life-limiting

Whether you are struggling with back pain, nerve pain, joint problems, sports injuries or complex chronic pain, waiting is rarely neutral, it often makes outcomes harder.

If you are self-funding or have private medical insurance, you can be seen immediately.

No referrals. No delays. No uncertainty. Take control today.

When pain doesn’t show up on scans, but still shows up every day.

You’re not imagining it and you’re not alone.

Living with chronic pain that doesn’t appear to go away can be one of the most frustrating experiences of all. You’ve tried rest. You’ve tried physio. You may have been told everything looks “normal”. Yet the pain persists, quietly impacting your work, your energy, your mood and your quality of life.

At The Manchester Pain Clinic, we specialise in exactly this type of pain, ongoing, complex pain that hasn’t responded to standard treatment or quick fixes.

Our consultant-led approach focuses on understanding the whole picture, not just isolated symptoms. That means time to listen, expert assessment and a personalised plan built around what will genuinely help you move forward.

Why patients across Manchester and Cheshire choose private care:

• Rapid access to experienced pain consultants
• Clear answers when pain feels unexplained or unresolved
• Tailored treatment plans, not one-size-fits-all solutions
• Support for self-funding and privately insured patients
• A calm, professional environment where you feel heard

Pain that lingers deserves attention, not acceptance.

When pain becomes a constant companion, not a passing phase, it changes everything, your energy, your confidence, your quality of life.

For many people living with complex or degenerative conditions, the real frustration is not just the pain itself, but the lack of progress. Long NHS waiting times, fragmented care pathways and treatments that never quite join the dots.

At The Manchester Pain Clinic, we take a different view. Advanced pain management is not about masking symptoms, it’s about understanding the full picture, identifying what’s driving your pain, and creating a bespoke plan that evolves with you.

If you are privately insured or self-funding, you can access expert consultant-led care without delay, supported by evidence-based interventions and a genuinely joined-up approach.

Because living with pain should never be accepted as “just how it is”.

Still living with unexplained abdominal pain?

You’re not alone, and crucially, you’re not imagining it.

For many patients, persistent abdominal pain is not coming from the gut at all, but from trapped nerves in the abdominal wall – a frequently overlooked condition called Anterior Cutaneous Nerve Entrapment Syndrome (ACNES).

It’s often misdiagnosed, dismissed or left untreated for years, leaving people stuck in a cycle of tests, referrals and frustration.

At The Manchester Pain Clinic, we see this far too often. The good news? When ACNES is correctly identified, it can be treated effectively by experienced pain specialists – without years of waiting.

Read our latest blog to understand:

• The hidden signs of ACNES
• Why it’s so commonly missed
• What effective, specialist treatment looks like

If NHS pathways have stalled or private insurance allows faster access, expert help is available now.

At The Manchester Pain Clinic, we help patients uncover the real reason behind persistent, unexplained pain - and ACNES is one of the most underdiagnosed conditions we see.

Pain is not always where the problem lies. Without specialist assessment, many conditions are mislabelled, undertreated, or managed reactively.

Cold weather shouldn’t dictate how you move, live or feel.
But winter pain is real and very common.

As temperatures drop across Manchester and Cheshire, many people notice their pain creeping in. Stiffer joints. Achier backs. Old injuries suddenly making their presence known again.

At The Manchester Pain Clinic, we see a clear seasonal spike every winter. The difference? Our private patients don’t have to wait it out.

We offer fast, consultant-led assessments and tailored treatment plans designed to keep you moving comfortably through the colder months, whether you’re self-funding or using private medical insurance.

Winter doesn’t need to mean putting life on hold:

• Rapid access with no lengthy waiting lists
• Personalised plans focused on mobility and comfort
• Convenient clinics across Manchester and Cheshire
• A calm, supportive and premium patient experience

Don’t let winter win. Get ahead of your pain — now, not later.
