Dr Antony Kodsi
Pain Medication Management
I will assess, recommend and work a medication management plan suited to your problem, comorbid conditions and phase of treatment. What may have been appropriate in the past, may no longer be suitable. Medications have both pros and cons, and not suited to everyone. I will guide and work towards your goal.
I worked for SafeScript Advice Line and I am also accredited in Opioid Agonist Treatment. This means I can assist people and other doctors for those who have formed unhealthy reliance of particular treatment.
Motivational Interviewing and Hypnotherapy
I can assist people find their motivation and confidence to achieve their goals. For those who have many barriers in their mind to meaningful change, I can use the assistance of hypnotherapy to empower yourself to work your own solutions to your problems.
Diagnostic and Therapeutic Injections
My practice and my other colleagues have the ability to find contributors to your pain by using nerve blocks, which could both diagnose the problem or treat it. This may help answer the question of what is the problem and lead to other treatments, or it may provide some temporary relief enough to do physical conditioning to consolidate the benefit.
Radiofrequency Lesions
I can do Radiofrequency lesions to certain nerves, which involves using a small current to reduce the activity of a nerve that is causing pain. This is most effective when pain is localised and the nerve is only involved in sensation rather than muscle function.
Ultrasound Guided Interventions
My practice uses ultrasound to guide treatment of Botox for certain conditions, platelet rich plasma and selectively, peripheral nerve stimulators.
Other Pain Treatments
There are other techniques of which may be advanced or too specialised. I have regular meetings with other experts with particular skills, and work with other professionals that can provide access to all available treatments. I am only too happy to ensure my patients have access to the most appropriate available treatment.
