How we helped Tariq.
Medicine
Medical Cannabis
Having been diagnosed with facial pain 2 years ago Tariq expressed interest in being prescribed a medication to help him get through the day. He received a medication review from his clinician who recommend and prescribed a cannabis oil for him to take every day and in larger doses during a flare up. His treatment will be reviewed frequently to track his progress and to adjust according.
Movement
Bespoke exercises
Tariq explained to his clinician that with his facial pain he sometimes experiences neck stiffness. His clinician gave Tariq advice regarding this by giving him neck exercises to release the stiffness and tension in his neck.
Mind
Coaching
Tariq told his clinician that he was having regular headaches alongside his facial pain and that this was worrying him as this was affecting his ability to study for his university exams. His clinician suggested meditation to help him relieve his worries and informed Tariq that once he started his new medication the headaches would reduce in both intensity and frequency.

Lovely Leva!
Leva have been my pain management clinic for nearly two years. They have been consistently helpful, friendly and clear. There have been no problems I can recall and they reply very quickly to any contact. Thoroughly recommended and worth every penny for their service. I have no intention of using anyone else for pain management. Keep up the good work Leva!

I was with another clinic which I had…
I was with another clinic which I had many problems with. Since joining Leva around 18 months ago everything changed for the better. The staff and Consultants at Leva certainly put the Patients first and can't do enough to help if any problems arise Prescriptions are at the pharmacy within 48 hrs and Leva keep on top of what stock is available at the pharmacies for the patients. It has changed my life since I joined them, the medication has enabled me to live a more active and pain free life. I personally create Leva very highly.
