National Pain Week: Northern Beaches Hospital Celebrates Specialist, Dr Tim Hucker

At Northern Beaches Hospital, we’re proud to spotlight one of our leading pain specialists, Dr Tim Hucker, during National Pain Week. As a specialist pain physician and founder of Northern Beaches Pain, Dr Hucker champions an integrated, holistic approach to pain management right here at Northern Beaches Hospital.

“Chronic back and neck pain is endemic everywhere, including on the Northern Beaches, along with joint arthritis in the knees and shoulders,” explains Dr Hucker. “But there’s no need to suffer in silence.”

Dr Tim Hucker and his team work in a collaborative way with multidisciplinary colleagues offering patient-centred treatments, from non-surgical interventions to long-term rehabilitation, “We build realistic, sustainable plans that help people take back control with personalised targeted pain relief.” He emphasises, “Pain relief should support a person’s ability to move and live fully, not mask symptoms. The goal is to rehabilitate, not medicate.”

At Northern Beaches Hospital and through Northern Beaches Pain, Dr Hucker and his team are dedicated to helping patients regain independence, reduce medication reliance, and return to vibrant living—providing expert support every step of the way.
Let’s break the silence on pain this National Pain Week. If you or a loved one are in need of a Pain Specialist, consider a referral from your GP to Dr. Tim Hucker.
