The Pain Clinic Malta

The Pain Clinic is a multidisciplinary pain clinic in Malta that focuses on chronic pain and other illnesses that have not responded to conventional medication. Founded in 2015, it brings together a doctor, anaesthetist and physiotherapist to offer a one stop service for people with persistent pain. The clinic uses a holistic, evidence based and conservative approach that integrates conventional, complementary and alternative therapies to ease unnecessary pain and suffering and improve quality of life.

Service

The Pain Clinic specialises in chronic pain and a defined group of related conditions, including Chronic Pain, Stress and Anxiety, Fibromyalgia, Headaches, Neck and Back Pain, Cancer, Arthritis and Depression. It offers pain management programmes, natural remedies such as CBD oil, medical cannabis based treatments and other innovative solutions like hyperbaric oxygen therapy, acupuncture or acupressure tools, depending on clinical need. Treatment plans are tailored and may combine lifestyle advice, exercise recommendations, natural products and prescription medical cannabis where appropriate.

Safety

The clinic positions itself as evidence based and conservative, aiming to identify the cause of pain, explain it clearly and manage it effectively with the safest available options. It emphasises the use of natural and plant derived products as an alternative when standard pharmaceutical medication has not helped or caused side effects, and provides information on the legal framework for medical cannabis in Malta. Care is delivered by a dedicated team that follows an interdisciplinary model and keeps up to date with developments in pain medicine and medical cannabis.

Care pathway

People usually start by telling the clinic about their pain or checking eligibility for medical cannabis through an online questionnaire. From there, they can book an appointment at one of the clinic locations in Paola, Gzira or Naxxar. During consultations, the team reviews investigations, helps decide what further tests are needed, discusses lifestyle changes and builds an integrated treatment plan that can include natural remedies, medical cannabis and other pain management strategies. Follow up care includes medication adjustments, repeat prescriptions, and ongoing support, with phone and email contacts and defined opening hours for in person visits.
