Dr Rajib Dutta is a highly skilled Pain Management Specialist. Before coming to Australia, he worked for many years as a Consultant in the United Kingdom where he completed his Pain Management and Anaesthetic training, in the renowned centres King’s College Hospital, London and Guys and St Thomas’s Hospitals, London.
He is an expert in treating patients with neck pain, lower back pain, leg pain, musculoskeletal and pelvic pain. As well as post-surgical pain, neuropathic pain, CRPS and conditions of widespread pain such as Fibromyalgia.
Dr Rajib Dutta works in partnership with his patients in the practice of multimodal pain management, incorporating the use of medicines, interventional techniques, physiotherapy, pain-directed psychology and the promotion of pain education including pain management programmes.
His expert interventional pain management techniques include facet medial branch blocks and thermal or pulsed radiofrequency treatment for the management of pain arising from the cervical, thoracic or lumbar facet joints. For leg pains associated with nerve root impingement or sciatica he performs targeted nerve route injections/dorsal route ganglion blocks or transforaminal epidurals, and pulsed radiofrequency treatments. For painful shoulder, hip or knee joints he offers nerve injections and pulsed radiofrequency treatment as a measure to improve pain and increase function for those waiting for joint replacements, or afterwards for pain that can remain post-replacement. He also offers peripheral nerve blocks and pulsed treatments for the management of headache pain and CRPS of the extremities. He also utilises Botox injections and PRP platelet-rich plasma therapies for patients.
He is a member of the Australian Pain Society and a fellow of both the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists & Faculty of Pain Medicine, and the Royal College of Anaesthetists & Faculty of Pain Medicine, United Kingdom. He works in collaboration with his colleagues and the wider professional team in pursuit of the best and most appropriate evidence-based pain management care for his patients.
