Toby R. John-Newton is a Pain Management Specialist based in Strathfield, NSW. He works from Room C1.47 in the Clancy Building, at 163/167 Albert Road, Strathfield 2135.
Pain is more than just a symptom. It can affect sleep, mood, and day-to-day life. Toby looks after people with long-lasting pain, as well as pain that flares up more suddenly. In many cases, that also means helping with the “whole picture”, not just the pain itself.
His clinic support covers a range of problems. This includes chronic pain and complex pain conditions, along with acute pain when things get sharp or sudden. He also helps with neuralgia, where nerves can cause burning, shooting, or stabbing pain.
At times, pain can come from nerve and brain-related conditions. Toby provides care for people dealing with conditions such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease) and primary lateral sclerosis. He also supports people who have complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), which can be tough to manage because it often affects more than one part of the body.
Pain and mental health often travel together. For example, he works with people who live with generalised anxiety disorder (GAD). It’s common for worry and tension to build up when pain keeps coming back, so managing both can help some people feel more stable day to day.
Toby also supports patients with frontotemporal dementia and HIV/AIDS. These situations can be challenging in their own way, and pain care may need to be gentle, practical, and easy to follow.
Care in pain management is rarely one-size-fits-all. Over time, people’s needs can change, especially when there are ongoing health conditions. Toby’s approach focuses on understanding what’s happening now, what tends to trigger symptoms, and what options might help improve comfort and function.
