Pain conditions

Dr Keogh's extensive training means he can successfully treat a wide variety of pains and pain conditions.

Pain doctors often classify (group together) pain conditions to help make more sense of them, aiding diagnosis and treatment. The most common classification used is the International Classification of Diseases, by the World Health Organisation. The 11th edition (current) of this classification included a fundamental change in the diagnosis of chronic pain and had in it for the first time in its history, a set of pain diagnoses which did not require investigations such as scans, to be abnormal.

Please explore a pain region below to find examples of conditions Dr Keogh is an expert in treating.

Please use the gallery below to explore a pain area and find examples of the common conditions that can be successfully treated.

The lists do not include all pain conditions that Dr Keogh is skilled at treating so do not be concerned if your condition or problem is not mentioned.
