We help people move from feeling overwhelmed and stuck to gaining clarity, meaningful relief, and the confidence to re-engage in their lives again. So if you are struggling with any of the following, you’re not alone.

  • Persistent or Chronic Pain

    Pain that has been labelled “chronic” (i.e. persists longer 3 months or more than the expected healing time), and hasn’t responded fully to conservative treatment such as physiotherapy, common injections or surgery.

    This includes lower back pain, neck pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, headaches, or migraines.

  • Widespread or Complex Pain

    Widespread or difficult-to-explain pain that doesn’t fit a simple assessment, diagnostic or treatment pathway.

    Conditions such as Fibromyalgia, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), whiplash-associated disorders or persistent post-surgical pain.

  • The Endless Treatment Cycle

    A confusing and exhausting cycle of trying new treatments, medications, or practitioners without lasting relief.

    Feeling invalidated, dismissed, or unsure why your pain continues.

  • Pain Affecting Mental Health & Daily Life

    Pain intertwined with anxiety, low mood, insomnia, trauma, or emotional distress.

    Difficulty returning to work, family responsibilities, or activities you once enjoyed.

You're not just a diagnosis or a chronic pain patient. You're a person whose life has been disrupted by pain.

Many pain clinics focus only on physical symptoms or procedures.

Our approach is different.

We offer evidence-based specialist pain medicine assessment and management combined with a psychiatry-informed understanding of how the brain, peripheral nervous system, emotions, and life experiences interact with pain.

This means we take the time to listen deeply, explain the “why” behind your pain, and develop a comprehensive plan that addresses your body, mind, sleep, and emotional health, not just one part in isolation.

Our goal is for you to leave with clarity and understanding, not just another prescription or a procedure.

Specialist Pain Medicine Physician & Psychiatrist

As a dual-qualified Specialist Pain Medicine Physician and Psychiatrist, Dr Tannenbaum brings a unique, integrated perspective to the treatment of chronic and complex pain conditions.

This advanced training allows him to assess pain from both a physical medicine standpoint - understanding the peripheral nervous and musculoskeletal systems, and pain procedures - and a psychiatric standpoint, in understanding the brain, sleep, and any psychosocial contributors to pain.

This combined expertise is essential for effectively treating persistent pain conditions that do not respond to single-approach treatments.

Please note that Dr Tannenbaum does not have the capacity to accept referrals for general psychiatry or primary substance use disorders or to provide long-term management for these conditions.

HOW IT WORKS

Step 1: Start with an Enquiry & Referral

You begin by submitting a brief online enquiry or contacting our team by phone. A valid referral from your GP or a non-GP medical specialist is required before an appointment can be arranged. This allows us to review your information, confirm eligibility for Medicare rebates, and ensure our specialised pain practice is the right fit for your needs.

Step 2: Comprehensive Specialist Assessment

Your initial consultation is longer and more in-depth than a standard appointment. It is dedicated to listening carefully to your story, understanding how pain affects your life, and conducting a comprehensive assessment. Dr Tannenbaum will spend time explaining the condition and treatment plan.

Step 3: A Personalised Path Forward

If we continue the therapeutic relationship, we work collaboratively to develop and refine an integrated treatment plan focusing on improving function, reducing pain, and restoring confidence over time.

YOUR PATH TO CARE

Take the first step toward clarity and relief.

If you are living with persistent pain and seeking a thoughtful, evidence-based approach, we invite you to submit an online inquiry. All inquiries are reviewed to ensure our specialised practice is the right fit for your needs.
