Dr Sunny Nayee specialises in minimally invasive (non operative) pain relief for the spine and joints, as well as many other areas of chronic pain.

“My focus is on accurately diagnosing patients and then to give them the best treatment options available. I advise my patients to think of pain as a pyramid, starting off with the simple treatments first and then moving up the ladder to more invasive treatments in order to keep risks as minimal as possible. 

I aim to educate and share the knowledge on the powers of medicinal cannabis, to help end the stigma that can surround using this medication.”
