About Dr Shamim Haider - Pain Consultant
Dr Shamim Haider is a Consultant in Pain Medicine and Anaesthesia offering specialist assessment and treatment for spinal, nerve, sacroiliac and knee pain conditions. With experience as a UK consultant since 2012, Dr Haider takes a structured, evidence-led approach to pain management.
Treatment is tailored to your individual presentation. Rather than an automatic procedure, Dr Haider conducts a careful assessment of your symptoms, previous treatment, relevant imaging and priorities to determine the most appropriate next step—whether that is rehabilitation, further investigation, or a targeted intervention. Image-guided injections are considered only when the clinical picture supports them.
Services include medial branch blocks and radiofrequency denervation for selected spinal pain, epidural steroid injections for nerve-root pain and sciatica, sacroiliac joint injections for buttock and pelvic pain, and a staged diagnostic pathway for knee pain. Each treatment is planned with precision and clinical clarity.
Dr Haider helps patients with back pain, neck pain, sciatica and related conditions understand their pain pattern and access the right level of care at the right time.
