Real stories, real relief
“Algarve Pain Centre gave me back the freedom to move without fear.”
After years of living around chronic spine pain, Ana arrived at Algarve Pain Centre exhausted, anxious, and worried about losing her independence.
Working closely with our spine specialists, pain medicine doctors, and rehab team, she followed a tailored plan that combined minimally invasive treatments with guided recovery. Today, she is back to walking, working, and enjoying time with her family.
Stories from our patients
"From not being able to lift even small weight and having pain from sitting down to being 80% fully recovered, they both experience a life free of pain."
"Ghislaine Renault shares her experience of her medical journey, how her life led to having Sciatica and excruciating pain."
"Although you may feel like brand new the day after the procedure, you will only be totally healed a few months after. The body takes time to adjust."

Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions about our pain clinic in the Algarve
Choosing a pain clinic is an important decision. These answers cover what we treat, how appointments work and what to expect when you visit us in Vale do Lobo.
What types of pain conditions do you treat?
We treat a wide range of conditions including spine pain, joint pain, nerve pain, headaches, sports injuries and post‑stroke symptoms. If you are unsure whether your condition fits, our team can review your situation and guide you to the right specialist.
Do I need a referral to book an appointment?
A formal referral is not always required. Many patients contact Algarve Pain Centre directly, while others are referred by their family doctor or another specialist. If you already have scans or reports, bringing them to your visit helps us avoid repeating tests.
Do you see international patients visiting the Algarve?
Yes. We regularly care for patients who live abroad or spend part of the year in Portugal. Our clinic team can help you coordinate appointments and treatment around your travel schedule, and we share information with your doctors at home when needed.
What should I expect from my first consultation?
Your first visit usually lasts long enough for a detailed discussion of your symptoms, examination and review of previous investigations. By the end we aim to give you a clear explanation of your condition, outline immediate steps and propose a longer‑term plan tailored to your goals.
