Dr Michael Husband

Dr Michael Husband specialises in the non-surgical management of common spinal conditions as well as pain management and anaesthesia. The majority of patients he sees at the Nuffield have back pain and sciatica but he has interest in all challenging pain conditions. He has expertise in the management of other long term pain conditions such as persistent pain after spinal surgery, neuropathic (nerve) pain and widespread body pain. He works very closely with local NHS spinal and musculoskeletal services and performs the majority of the non-surgical, minimally invasive spinal treatments offered by them. He completed his postgraduate pain medicine training at Barts Health NHS Trust in London where he became familiar with advanced pain management techniques such as spinal cord stimulators. Dr Husband is interested in a multidisciplinary approach to pain medicine with a focus on reducing the burden of opioid medicines.

Dr Husband specialises in the following treatments at Nuffield Health Chichester Hospital:

• Pain Management
• Facet Joint Injections
• Dorsal Root Ganglion Block
• Epidural Injections
• Sacroiliac Joint Injections

In addition to the Nuffield Health hospital, Dr Husband delivers inpatient pain management at St Richard’s Hospital, Chichester where he is involved in training and teaching pharmacists, hospital doctors and GP’s. He has developed an acute and chronic pain service to St Richards Hospital and works with the Sussex Community Trust Pain Team based at Bognor Memorial Hospital.

Michael has three young children and lives in West Sussex with his wife who is also an Anaesthetist.
