The Oxford Pain Clinic

At The Oxford Pain Clinic in Illovo, Johannesburg, patients living with persistent, complex, or life-limiting pain find a specialised medical clinic dedicated to comprehensive relief and long-term support. As a focused healthcare practice in Sandton, the clinic works with adults who have tried multiple treatments without success, as well as patients recently diagnosed with conditions that cause acute or chronic pain. The team recognises how deeply pain can affect life at home, at work, and in relationships, and provides a structured, evidence-based pathway to better function and quality of life. Founded by Dr Ruben Naidoo, an anaesthesiologist and pain specialist, The Oxford Pain Clinic is built around a multidisciplinary, patient-centred model of care. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, the clinic evaluates each person’s medical history, daily limitations, and treatment goals. Many patients arrive after feeling unheard in other settings; here, consultations are unhurried, questions are welcomed, and every care plan is tailored to the individual. Serving Illovo, greater Sandton, and the wider Johannesburg area, the clinic has become a trusted point of referral for complex pain cases. ## Services & Specialties The Oxford Pain Clinic provides comprehensive pain management for a wide range of acute, chronic, and complex pain conditions. Through detailed assessments, the team identifies the nature and drivers of pain, then designs a personalised plan that may include targeted pain injections, nerve blocks, and carefully managed pain medication strategies. The focus is on evidence-based interventions that reduce pain intensity, improve mobility, and restore day-to-day function, rather than simply masking symptoms. As a specialist anaesthesia and pain clinic in Illovo, the practice also offers anaesthesia services related to pain treatment and surgical procedures. Patients are guided through what anaesthesia involves, how to prepare, and what risks or side effects to consider. In addition, The Oxford Pain Clinic has an integrated health and wellness offering, including IV therapy and clinical infusion services, which can support overall wellbeing, assist with specific medical needs, and complement broader pain management plans. Education features strongly in every visit: patients receive clear explanations, practical resources, and ongoing support to help them understand their pain and participate actively in their care. ## Why Choose The Oxford Pain Clinic - Specialised expertise in complex and chronic pain: Led by Dr Ruben Naidoo, with advanced training in anaesthesia, pain management, medical law, and bioethics, the clinic brings deep insight to challenging pain conditions.
