I’m Dr Stephen Humble, a Consultant and Honorary Senior Lecturer at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust in London. I’m also the Medical Director of the London Interventional Clinic and have been helping patients who are struggling with back pain, slipped discs, sciatica, and severe spinal pain for over two decades.
Every day I meet patients who are in pain and have been searching for answers. I understand how distressing this can be and how much of an impact it can have on their lives. That’s why I’m passionate about helping people get on top of their pain, before it becomes a long-term problem, so they can get back to their work, sport, and enjoying a good quality of life.
My aim is to help patients avoid invasive surgery and all the risks associated with it. I use a combination of cortisone injections, anti-inflammatories and referral to high level physiotherapists within my network. I’ve successfully treated thousands of patients over the years and acquired my skills through my extensive training, including my MSc from the University of Edinburgh and my PhD in Neuroscience.
I specialise in Interventional Pain Medicine, which means I help patients with cortisone injection treatments and intramuscular Botox, as well as whole person treatments including medications and exercise. I’ve performed thousands of routine epidurals and other spinal injections, but I’m also one of a few specialist doctors who treat patients using niche techniques such as radiofrequency therapy and Racz epiduroplasty treatment.
I featured on the BBC1 Programme ‘Health: Truth or Scare’ and have published numerous medical and scientific papers in high-level journals. I’ve also spoken at many conferences and meetings, sharing my knowledge and expertise with the medical community.

Dr Humble is a fantastic doctor with incredible experience and a big heart. He is very professional, competent, approachable, kind, empathetic and honest. Dr Humble listens very well and his assessments are excellent. Also, he made me feel comfortable when discussing my problems and gave me hope when other doctors didn't. Moreover, Dr Humble always responded to my attempts to reach out to him. I would highly recommend Dr Humble to anyone! Thank you very much Dr Humble! Also, Dr Humble’s secretary Kerry is very professional, kind, helpful, approachable and responsive. She always responded to my attempts to reach out to Dr Humble. Kerry was able to book an appointment for me when I needed it the most! Thank you very much Kerry!

Dr Humble made everything so easy to understand and for the first time I understood my ailments alot clearer. From start to finish he is amazing at explaing what will happen along with possible outcomes and options available. He is friendly and instantly likeable and has a wonderful bedside manner. I highly recommend him, as he helped me with both chronic migraine issues and skincare solutions. I feel like I could get in touch and be helped at anytime.

I have nothing but praise for the treatment and care I've received from Dr Humble. I went to see him regarding a significant disc bulge and nerve pain, and from the outset I was very impressed. Great attention to detail and explanations given about how to treat the issue and a very caring, calming demeanour. Also, his secretary Kerry was extremely responsive and assisted greatly in getting everything booked and questions answered.

Dr Stephen Humble offers exceptional medical care; he is professional, courteous, dignified and responsive. He listens well and always takes the time to explain a procedure or help me to decide on a particular treatment. His interventions hugely improved my quality of life in a very short time. His staff are always precise, friendly and very helpful. I feel very lucky to have found Dr Humble and his clinic!

Dr Humble is a good communicator with a great deal of patience which puts his patients at ease. For my injuries he’s been a super problem solver and given me a range of options each time so that I feel in control. I’ve had very positive outcomes post procedure and the surgical team dynamic during procedure has always been very relaxing. I went to him with an array of back, pelvis and hip pain which we are just closing the final nerve problem down but I’m already vastly improved pain daily and have just spent a week doing watersports reflecting on how much better I feel thanks to his work. My only regret is my delay in booking in to see him.

The treatment I have received from Dr Humble has been incredible. I have been seeing Dr Humble for the last couple of years and from the initial appointment he understood what was wrong with my back and how it was affecting my quality of life. He always explained everything in a clear manner and has been very friendly putting me at ease every time. I find him very professional, thorough in his approach, kind and empathetic. I was able to be myself and talk openly about my excruciating pain and how it was affecting me personally and my life and was always reassured. Dr Humble knew instantly how I felt and how he could help me. He’s an amazing consultant and also lovely to speak with at every appointment. It’s rare to find a doctor that combines such personal touches and care for a patient as a person with outstanding quality of medical care. I had been suffering with back and sciatica pain for around 5 years prior to seeing Dr Humble. He ensured all diagnostics, MRIs and scans were completed and carried out the required surgical procedures accordingly. I noticed a difference straight away after each procedure. I feel a different person now, less pain and much more mobile. Thank you for giving me a better life and I am forever grateful for the care and treatment I have received from Dr Humble. I would highly recommend Dr Humble to anyone and will certainly continue to seek his help should the need arise in the future. Lastly I would like to mention that his PA Kerry has also been a great help to me along the way, a lovely person, very friendly, understanding and always accommodating as I have a baby but most importantly responding to my queries and arranging all my appointments very quickly making the whole process smooth. Thank you!

The treatment I received from Doctor Humble over the past number of years has been exceptional. Dr Humble has wonderful bed side manners, he's a deep thinker, so he's listening to every word you say, his reports are so detailed they are top class and he's very quick to get to the crux of your pain and issues. He's an outstanding consultant, professional and super pleasant. He's honest in his opinion and will guide to what in his experience of what the best treatment options are. I was in excruciating pain when I was first sent to him by another specialist and thankfully, I am pain free now.

Dr Humble was outstanding in every aspect whilst I was under his care. He was amazing and took all of my concerns and worries over my procedures away from my thoughts and went above and beyond my expectations from first consultation and throughout my two procedures with him. Kerry his Medical Secretary was always on hand to assist me and guide me and I can thank them both enough for the way they have looked after me over the last month.
