Dr. Abdullah Abd Elaziz, ND, MSc, MBChB is a former Anesthesiologist and Pain management physician now turned Naturopathic Doctor. For over 13 years he has helped patients suffering from acute and chronic pain related to sport injuries, surgery, ICU and cancer. Training in naturopathic medicine gives him a unique edge as it allows him to individualize treatment plans that caters to the uniqueness of each and every patient.
His typical treatment model applies non-invasive or minimally invasive approaches to ease pain. To increase efficacy, Dr. Abd Elaziz addresses both the complexity and individuality of the pain presentation; in other words, he looks beyond the “cookie-cutting” approach so deeply rooted in traditional “one size fits all” medicine. He assess the whole person, not just the pain. Because pain is such a complex, multi-level, unpleasant sensory and emotional experience, understanding the root cause (e.g. metabolic, psychological, neurogenic, etc.) of pain ensures a more comprehensive treatment plan with a better outcome and lasting results.
Science and research is one of his largest playing grounds. It’s the forest of a thousand discoveries. Abdullah is a Medical Doctor( Anesthesiologist), Naturopathic Doctor,Researcher and Scientist who stepped outside of his box and really sunk his teeth into all modalities, as through the years he kept hearing about Doctors all over the world who were combining modalities to assist their patients in their health management – and succeeding in ways where their health had improved to degrees that exceeded the results of singular modalities. With 13 years of experience in Anaesthesia and pain management and 4 years of exclusively working in pain management with elderly patients and cancer pain , what Abdullah discovered was that there was no quality life and no functional improvement – all that was happening was keeping patients alive, leaving everything they enjoy behind because of pain and living.
This practitioner has the ability to put himself in his patients shoes – so to speak – he builds your story of pain to the present moment – he paints the entire picture with you – not a single detail is looked over. When your journey is curated into a story, Dr. Abdullah utilizes his modality integration along with his Naturopathy and ensures the best measures are created for each individual patient.
Pain is his passion. Pain is Abdullah’s passion because it is intangible, relative, subjective and invisible, and in that invisibility there lays the curiosity we all share – What causes pain? In a world riddled with theories, this doctor pulls most modalities together – Why all this work, all this attention to detail, all this knowledge, credentials and education? – Because two patients can describe the exact same pain and yet have completely different reasons for the cause.
