MEET DR THERDEN VAN HEERDEN
I am originally from Bloemfontein where I studied – however, I fell in love with Worcester during my internship and always intended to return. My career path included a year in England and 13 years in Canada – the environment in which my interest in pain medicine began. I have an extensive background in anaesthesia – including learning to perform nerve blocks and needle-guided procedures. That experience grew into an interest in chronic pain management combined with a general practice focused on treating many individuals with persistent pain. When I returned to South Africa an opportunity arose to become part of The Pain Collective – I now practise as a medical practitioner in the Breede Valley Clinic. The pain landscape in South Africa remains fairly unexplored – I believe The Pain Collective has a bright future using new technology and innovative ways of treating pain.
