Video consultations
Where available, you can attend your consultation online via a video call.
Video calling is as convenient as a phone call, with the added value of face-to-face communication. It can save you time and brings your care closer to home.
Our Pain Management service provides assessment, treatment and management advice for clients presenting with a wide range of chronic musculoskeletal pain conditions including:
- Chronic back pain
- Arthritic pain
- Degenerative conditions
- Chronic widespread bodily pain (fibromyalgia)
- Complex regional pain syndrome
- Persistent pain following surgery or medical treatments.
How it works
Once referred, you will be assessed by a Physiotherapist and Psychologist. Together with your team, you will then decide on the most appropriate management, which may include:
- A ‘Pain Management Program’, exploring ways to best manage your pain
- Decreasing the impact of pain
- Improving function
- Improving mood and how much the pain bothers you
- Appropriate exercise and fitness maintenance
- Returning to valued hobbies and activities
- Gaining control of your life, rather than pain controlling you!
- We also offer long-term follow-up and support for people who have undergone treatment with the Chronic Pain Service.
