Clinical interests
Dr Dhotarkar specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic musculoskeletal and spinal pain, with particular expertise in ultrasound-guided pain interventions and spinal injection procedures, including facet joint injections. He also has a special interest in the management of persistent post-surgical pain following joint replacement.
He treats a wide range of conditions, including:
Low back pain, sciatica and nerve root pain
Neuropathic pain
Complex regional pain syndrome
Fibromyalgia
Persistent knee, hip and shoulder pain
His advanced interventional treatments include radiofrequency denervation. He frequently uses combined ultrasound and fluoroscopy (CUF) guidance to improve the safety, accuracy and effectiveness of procedures.
Dr Dhotarkar works closely with spinal surgeons, specialist pain physiotherapists and psychologists. Together with each patient, he develops an individualised management plan that addresses both the physical and psychological dimensions of pain. He is also actively involved in transitional pain services, an evolving area of UK pain medicine focused on preventing long-term post-operative pain, particularly in patients with existing chronic pain who are undergoing surgery.
