Pain Services
The Walton Centre leads the way nationally with its innovative programme of pain relief for chronic sufferers, delivered by a multi disciplinary team and, unusually, the department of neurosurgery participates in the delivery of the pain services. Several procedures are not widely available outside Walton. They include spinal cord stimulation, deep brain stimulation and intrathecal drug delivery systems.
The Centre for Pain Relief is closely associated with The Pain Research Institute - the only research institute in the world entirely devoted to the scientific study of chronic pain in humans. The team includes pain clinicians, neurosurgeons, neurologists, psychologists, occupational therapists and physiotherapists. There are four consultants who hold outpatient clinics daily.

Famous quotes containing the words pain and/or services:
“So, when our mortal frame shall be disjoin’d,
The lifeless lump uncoupled from the mind,
From sense of grief and pain we shall be free;
We shall not feel, because we shall not be.”
—Lucretius (Titus Lucretius Carus)
“We now in the United States have more security guards for the rich than we have police services for the poor districts. If you’re looking for personal security, far better to move to the suburbs than to pay taxes in New York.”
