About Our Team
Holistic, ethical management of chronic pain is what we do
Dr Willem-Johan Steyn and his team believe in managing chronic pain holistically, ethically and based on newest evidence.
This is because a patient is not merely a biological machine but a unique person with a distinctive psychological framework that resides within a specific socio-cultural context.
