pain centre of excellence

Chronic pain is a problem that, for many people, alludes treatment. The reasons for chronic pain can be multifarious and complex and hence require an approach that takes into account the many possible approaches to pain management and treatment.

The Persistent Pain Program

The Persistent Pain Program is based on the known and proven science of pain treatment. It incorporates many facets of treatment including physiotherapy, occupational therapists, pharmacists, psychologists, exercise physiologists and specialists pain management doctors.

This team-based, multi-disciplinary approach is the best way to manage chronic pain. If you’ve had treatment for chronic pain in the past you’ve probably experience the disconnect between therapists. Perhaps your physio has tried to communicate through you to your psychologist? eg “next time you see your psychologist let them know…” That’s one of the problems eradicated by a team-based approach. The advantages of having a holistic approach to your health are better communication and a team who are working together in the same direction to help you manage your pain.
