The Validium Group has extended its offering to include specialist pain management services to employees, following the acquisition of PainConsultants.

In addition, Validium will now provide rehabilitation services.

The new services will enable employees to refer themselves for one-to-one pain education, a pain management assessment or for participation in a group pain management programme.

Mike Shaw, managing director at Validium, said: “Absent employees and accident victims often struggle with a combination of pain difficulties and psychological concerns, such as stress, anxiety and depression, relating to their condition.

“We are thrilled to be adding PainConsultants to our portfolio of resources.

“The dovetailing of pain management services with Validium’s psychological and rehabilitation services will strengthen our ability to rehabilitate individuals in a way that provides a measurable return on investment for their employer or insurance organisation even further.”
