What is a pain specialist?
A pain specialist is a doctor qualified in the specialty of pain medicine by the Faculty of Pain Medicine, trained to diagnose and treat complex and chronic pain conditions.
Multi-disciplinary clinic
We bring together a team of specialists to deliver holistic, coordinated care - ensuring every aspect of your pain and wellbeing is addressed under one roof.
Who are NIPM?
Established in 2011, two pain specialists set out to make a difference to the lives of patients across Newcastle, the Hunter, and the Central Coast. That dream is still alive, and our reach grows each year.
