Newcastle Pain Management Specialists
Personalised, multidisciplinary care for chronic and complex pain across Newcastle and the Hunter
Living with pain affects more than just your body.
Living with ongoing pain can impact every part of life, from work and relationships to sleep, mood, and confidence. Many people with chronic pain also experience anxiety, low mood, or frustration after trying treatments that did not work.
If you are feeling stuck, unsure where to turn, or worried that nothing will help, you are not alone.
Newcastle and the Hunter’s leading pain management clinic.
Founded in 2011 by Dr Simon Tame and Dr John Prickett, Northern Integrated Pain Management brings together specialist doctors, nursing staff, exercise physiologists, and pain psychologists to deliver coordinated, evidence-based pain care.
We work as an integrated team with patients, their families, and referring practitioners to treat both pain itself and the broader impact pain has on daily life.
A personalised, integrated approach to pain care.
At NIPM, your care plan is tailored to you and may include:
- Physical therapies to safely improve strength, movement, and confidence.
- Psychological strategies to reduce suffering and improve quality of life.
- Medication optimisation to maximise benefit and minimise side effects.
- Procedural pain management where appropriate, without over-reliance on medication.
- Referral to external services such as rehabilitation when needed.
Your preferences, goals, and daily life are central to every decision.
