LivingCare provides comprehensive Pain Management services at locations across Sheffield and Leeds, offering expert assessment and advanced treatments for acute and chronic pain. As a private pain clinic, we deliver consultant-led care with rapid access to appointments, personalised treatment plans, and precision-guided procedures.
LivingCare’s Pain Management Services in Sheffield and Leeds begin with a comprehensive pain consultation. This allows our specialists to understand the nature, location, and impact of your pain, alongside your medical history and previous treatments.
Where appropriate, we provide interventional pain management using ultrasound, fluoroscopy, or landmark-based techniques to deliver medication directly to the source of pain. This precise approach helps reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and support a more active, comfortable lifestyle.
Pain Management focuses on diagnosing the underlying cause of pain and delivering targeted treatments to relieve symptoms and restore movement. At LivingCare, our pain management specialists combine detailed clinical assessment with modern interventional techniques to effectively manage musculoskeletal, nerve, and spinal pain.
As a leading private pain clinic, LivingCare offers specialist-led care supported by advanced facilities and efficient patient pathways.
Our focus is delivering effective pain relief while supporting long-term recovery and function.
You may benefit from assessment at our pain management clinic if you experience:
Pain management plays both a therapeutic and diagnostic role, helping guide future treatment decisions.
Our pain management specialists treat a range of conditions:
Each treatment plan is tailored to your diagnosis, symptoms, and recovery goals.
Pain consultations provide the foundation of effective chronic pain treatment. Your specialist will carry out a detailed assessment to identify pain generators and contributing factors, helping determine the most appropriate next steps.
This may include interventional pain management, further investigations, or referral to complementary services to support longer-term outcomes.
Using real-time ultrasound imaging, medication is accurately delivered to joints, tendons, or nerves. This radiation-free technique improves precision and treatment effectiveness for many musculoskeletal conditions.
Fluoroscopy uses live X-ray imaging to guide injections into deeper or complex spinal structures. This technique is commonly used for nerve root and facet joint pain.
For suitable conditions, landmark-guided injections use expert anatomical knowledge to deliver effective treatment without imaging.
These can sometimes used to help relieve severe muscle spasm most commonly in the mid back (thoracic spine).
Steroid and corticosteroid injections are commonly used to reduce inflammation and relieve pain in joints, soft tissues and around irritated nerves.
Local anaesthetic injections provide short-term pain relief by temporarily blocking pain signals from nerves or painful structures.
Hyaluronic acid injections are used to support joint function, particularly in cases of osteoarthritis. This treatment helps lubricate and cushion the joint, reducing stiffness and discomfort while improving movement.
Patients can access our private pain clinic through self-pay appointments and Private medical insurance. We can also arrange a private GP consultation and referral if required, helping avoid delays in accessing specialist care.
“Very impressed with the clinic at Thorpe Park, Leeds. Used their pain management clinic recently and had great service from the consultants and staff there.”

You cannot drive after your procedure, so you will need to arrange transport to and from your appointment; and unless told otherwise, you should not need to fast before your appointment.
You may need to stop certain medications, but this will be discussed with you prior to your appointment. Please wear comfortable clothes, and please try keep any valuables at home.
Your procedure will be performed by a consultant – they may be a specialist in radiology, pain, or anaesthetics. The consultant works with a team including a nurse, a radiographer, and healthcare assistants for pre- and post-procedure care.
Depending on the procedure area, you will be positioned on the examination couch. For spinal procedures, you will be lying face-down; the area of your spine being treated will be exposed and cleaned. The consultant will use ultrasound or low-dose x-ray imaging, sometimes with a special dye to locate the specific site.
Local anaesthetic will be given. Depending on the procedure, other pain-relieving drugs or steroids may be injected, and you may also feel some stimulation of your nerves. The procedure can cause some pain, but this should be minimal as the consultant will use local anaesthetics and gas and air (Entonox).
Pain management procedures usually take around 20 minutes to complete.
You will be brought to the recovery area in a wheelchair by a healthcare assistant. You will need to wait in the clinic for around 30 minutes to make sure it is safe for you to leave the clinic.
You will need to eat and drink before you leave – we have a great selection of biscuits, juice, tea, and coffee. You can leave by transport once the team are happy for you to go (remember – you cannot drive after your procedure!). You will be given information for post-procedure care and a number to call if there are any issues when you get home.
Accessing our private GP service should not affect your care from your local NHS GP service. Although we aim to provide a full primary care service we strongly recommend that you remain registered on your local GP patient list to ensure assistance in the event of a medical emergency.

We're always on hand, so get in touch and we'll get back to you straight away.
