Chronic pain is complex
Just like diabetes, medication alone is one tool. But the best outcomes come when you balance it with lifestyle, movement and changing the way you relate to your pain.
Choices can be hard
Like the choice between long wait times or expensive private pain clinics to access quality care.
And the choice between medication with strong side effects or the risks that come with self-medicating using illicit cannabis.
We offer a new way
We provide the best of both worlds. The latest quality care with minimal wait times, and access to safe medication with the fewest side effects and lowest dose needed. All while tackling the root cause of your pain. In one place.

Real patient journeys to less pain with Leva
Before and after Leva
These are real patient quotes but their identities are sometimes masked at their request.
Emma, lives with MS pain and Fibromyalgia
Joined in January 2023
Before: Nobody wanted to know about my pain. It made me feel rubbish. I just wanted a solution...I tried literally everything. I didn’t find anything that worked much.
After: It’s an absolute God-send and made a huge difference...I’m out more than I have been before, I’m starting to feel a little bit more able.
Vernon, lives with Back Pain
Joined in January 2022
Before: I didn’t know how to cope...I always just pushed through pain...The pain was unreal. Everything left scar tissue. There was damage everywhere in body. I never knew when to stop....My dad just asked me are you sure you’re not addicted to this stuff?...
After: I had my last prescription table on 18th February 2022....I won’t look at pain in the same way...Despite the pain I know I have the confidence to try and do things. It’s liberating!...Leva has saved my life and my family.
Pain by numbers
Medical cannabis is one novel treatment that we offer. It works by acting on our endocannabinoid system (ECS). This plays a part in our pain control, sleep and mood. Is it effective?

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!

Since I became a patient...
Since i became a patient with Leva Clinic, my life has improved ten fold. Not only do i get the correct medication to manage my chronic illness and constant pain, but i get the support i need too. During my 3 monthly reviews, I am listened too and my requirements are met. I genuinely could not be happier.
Thank you Leva!

I was with another clinic…
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... It has changed my life since I joined them, the medication has enabled me to live a more active and pain free life...
