Pain Collective

The Pain Collective is South Africa’s leading network for the integrated, non-surgical management of chronic and complex pain. We help people live better with pain — not by promising a cure, but by restoring function, control, and confidence. Our approach combines advanced, minimally invasive interventions with practical guidance that empowers patients to self-manage the disease processes causing their pain. Our clinicians treat a wide range of conditions — including arthritis, neuropathic pain, spinal disorders, fibromyalgia, cancer-related pain, and headache syndromes — through evidence-based diagnostic and interventional techniques such as nerve blocks, radiofrequency procedures, and targeted injections. Each patient receives care from a multidisciplinary team that integrates neurosurgery, anaesthesiology, physiotherapy, psychology, biokinetics, occupational therapy, and movement rehabilitation. Together, we focus on one outcome: returning people to meaningful, independent living. Led by Dr Adriaan Liebenberg, neurosurgeon and founder, The Pain Collective is redefining pain care in South Africa — bridging the gap between advanced medical treatment and long-term patient empowerment.
