Oliver Seyfried

Dr Oliver Seyfried is a Consultant in Pain Medicine and Anaesthesia with a particular clinical interest in sciatica, lumbar radicular pain and other spinal and neuropathic pain conditions.

His practice focuses on establishing the cause of a patient’s symptoms before considering treatment. He regularly assesses patients with sciatica and lumbar radicular pain associated with conditions such as lumbar disc prolapse and nerve root irritation or compression. Where appropriate, treatment may include image-guided interventions such as selective nerve root injections and epidural injections, alongside medication, rehabilitation and other non-operative approaches.

Dr Seyfried also treats neuropathic pain affecting the arms and legs, persistent spinal pain and selected musculoskeletal pain conditions. His approach is evidence-based and individualised, with an emphasis on matching treatment to the underlying diagnosis and avoiding unnecessary intervention.

He is a Consultant at St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and has worked there as a consultant since 2013. He undertook specialist training in anaesthesia and pain medicine in London and is a Fellow of the Royal College of Anaesthetists and the Faculty of Pain Medicine.
