About of Leon M. Straker

Leon M. Straker is a Pain Management Specialist based at Kent Street, Bentley, WA 6102. He helps people who are dealing with pain that just won’t settle, or pain that keeps coming back. Pain can affect sleep, work, mood, and everyday life. In many cases, the right plan makes a real difference.

Leon’s work covers both acute pain and longer-term pain problems. That includes conditions like chronic pain, where discomfort can build over time and start to affect the whole body. He also looks after people with nerve-type issues such as carpal tunnel syndrome, where symptoms can show up in the hand and wrist and make daily tasks harder.

There are also a few specific issues Leon treats alongside pain. Restless legs syndrome is one example, and it can be really draining when sleep is affected. He also supports people with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, where back and posture concerns can start in the teen years and need careful ongoing management. At times, he may also be involved when people have abdominal obesity and metabolic syndrome, especially where discomfort and overall health risks sit side by side.

Leon cares for patients across different ages and situations. His caseload includes adults as well as adolescents, and he understands that needs can change as people grow or as symptoms shift. He also treats people with anal cancer as part of a wider care approach, focusing on pain support and comfort where it’s needed most.

Day to day, Leon aims for practical, steady care. Pain management isn’t only about quick relief. It’s also about helping you understand what’s going on, what options might help, and how to reduce flare-ups when possible. Treatments and plans can look different from person to person, depending on the problem and how it’s affecting daily life.

If you’re dealing with ongoing pain, or symptoms like restless legs or carpal tunnel that keep getting in the way, Leon can provide assessment and pain-focused care. Located in Bentley, he works with patients who want a calm, clear approach to managing symptoms and improving comfort.
