I am an Interventional and Neuromodulation Pain Consultant working across the independent sector and the NHS in the Northwest of England, with over 15 years of experience in my field.
I specialise in managing a wide range of chronic pain conditions, including spinal pain (low back, neck, facet and sacroiliac joint pain), sciatica, radicular pain, piriformis syndrome, cluneal nerve entrapment, large‑joint pain (hips, shoulders, knees), neuropathic pain such as diabetic neuropathy and post‑herpetic neuralgia, as well as generalised pain conditions like fibromyalgia, headaches, facial pain and cancer‑related pain. I also have a strong interest in neuromodulation for complex, treatment‑resistant pain.
I take a holistic approach to pain management, offering X‑ray and ultrasound‑guided interventional procedures within personalised treatment plans that recognise the bio‑psycho‑social nature of chronic pain.
I graduated from Ain Shams University in Cairo in 2005 and have worked across healthcare systems in Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the UK. My pain medicine training and fellowship were completed across leading centres in the Northwest, followed by a neuromodulation fellowship at Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital in London.
I hold a Master’s degree in Anaesthesia, the FRCA, EDIC, FFPMRCA, and a postgraduate certificate in medical education. I am also actively involved in teaching and currently serve as a Faculty Tutor for pain training within my NHS role.
