About
Dr Nikolic has graduated medicine in 1992 and has been working as a Consultant in Pain Medicine since 2006. He works both privately and on the NHS at St Bartholomew's and the Royal London Hospitals.
He covers a wide range of interests, including spintal pain management, myofascial pain syndromes, neuromodulation/spinal cord stimulation, complex regional pain syndromes, headaches and neuropathic pain.
Dr Nikolic provides treatments that are tailored for every patient and rely on a holistic approach including interventional pain management, analgesia optimisation and comprehensive rehabilitation and psychological support when appropriate. He is currently working closely with a team of specialists who are experts in their fields (physiotherapists, osteopaths, vocational rehabilitation specialists/occupational therapists and clinical psychologists).
Dr Nikolic believes that it is highly important to provide a service of the highest clinical standard that is firmly founded on the principles of evidence-based medicine. He is regularly involved in teaching and research in order to keep his professional knowledge and skills up to date.
It is important that HCA is transparent about our relationship with those doctors who provide us with clinical guidance on delivering the best possible care to patients and operating our hospitals safely and efficiently.

Back Pain Chronic Pain Facet Joint Injection
Dr Nikolic is managing my chronic back pain and our relationship is excellent. He is obviously highly experienced and his skillset is outstanding. He is always very clear when explaining, in layman's terms, my current situation, the procedures I am going through and the options available. I am able to have frank discussions and feel comfortable asking any question I may have, regardless of medical relevance. Always a pleasure meeting Dr Nikolic - I feel like I am in safe hands. Highly recommend.

Back Pain
I was so pleased I was referred to Dr. Nikolic for relentless upper back pain. After having numerous MRI’s and being told ‘nothing was wrong’ and seeing 3 different physios for 3 months with no improvement I was feeling helpless. Dr. Nikolic took time to listen to me and look at the bigger picture of my full history and was the first person to suggest it could be muscle tension and stress related. Rather than rushing me into an injection (which is was desperate for to put me out of my misery) I was put on muscle relaxants and nerve pain medication & made an effort to ‘relax’ and take up therapy to look at the ‘pain cycle’. 1 month later I amazed at how much my back pain had improved. I was reassured by him that I could always return for further treatment options if necessary and I think that was really helpful to know there is more that he can do if need be. Would definitely come back for any future problems (although I’m hoping I’ve got this under control now!).
