The Pain Clinic was established in 2015 by Dr Andrew Agius who teamed up with an anaesthetist and a physiotherapist to create a one-stop-shop for patients suffering from chronic pain and other illnesses which have not responded to conventional medication.
Chronic pain affects 20% of adults and the incidence has increased following the COVID-19 pandemic. Patients with chronic pain often visit several professionals to try and find an answer to their symptoms. Persistent pain may sometimes be challenging to diagnose and patients are often subjected to several investigations before they are told that their condition is chronic and that they need to learn to manage their pain.
