Crohn's disease and IBD are long-term inflammatory gut conditions that cause abdominal pain, cramping and fatigue.
Crohn's disease and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are chronic inflammatory conditions of the digestive tract. They can cause abdominal pain, cramping and fatigue that come and go in flares, and they affect every person differently.
These are lifelong conditions that are managed rather than cured. Alongside the treatment your gastroenterologist provides for the underlying inflammation, the pain and the toll on daily life often need their own dedicated support.
At The Pain Clinic, our focus is on that wider picture: helping you manage pain, fatigue and the emotional weight of a long-term condition, always working alongside your specialist rather than in place of them.
Crohn's disease and IBD are managed by your gastroenterologist, who oversees the medical treatment of the underlying inflammation. Our role is to work alongside that care, never to replace it, focusing on the pain, fatigue and day-to-day wellbeing that a long-term condition can bring.
Our multidisciplinary team, including pain specialists, a psychiatrist, psychotherapist and physiotherapists, can support different aspects of living with IBD, in coordination with the specialist who knows your case.
We don't manage the underlying disease; that stays with your gastroenterologist. Instead, we focus on the pain, symptoms and wellbeing that surround it, with full clinical oversight.
We coordinate with your gastroenterologist rather than duplicate or replace their care. Your underlying condition stays in their hands, while we focus on pain, symptoms and quality of life.
Abdominal pain, cramping and fatigue can wear you down between flares. We build a considered plan that may help ease these symptoms and make day-to-day life more manageable.
Living with a long-term condition takes an emotional toll. Our psychiatrist, psychotherapist and wider team can support mental wellbeing, sleep and resilience as part of your care.
