Chronic pain is a complex condition that can affect your physical, emotional, and social well-being. At our Chronic Pain Clinic, we provide personalised, evidence-based care to help you manage pain, restore function, and improve your quality of life.

We adopt a bio-psycho-social approach, addressing not only the physical aspects of pain but also its emotional and social impact. Our team works closely with Physiotherapy, Sports Medicine, and other allied health professionals to ensure holistic care.

Our Goals

Alleviate and manage chronic pain through tailored treatment plans.
Restore function and independence in daily activities.
Improve overall quality of life.
Monitor and optimise treatment through regular follow-ups and medication adjustments.

Conditions we treat:

Chronic neck and lower back pain
Neuropathic pain conditions (nerve related pain)
Muscular pain
Chronic post-surgical pain
Complex regional pain syndromes
Fibromyalgia
Post – herpetic neuralgia
Chronic pelvic pain
Cancer related pain

In some instances, oral medications alone may not be sufficient and the use of pain intervention procedures (targeted injections to the painful area) can be considered. Our team is skilled in both ultrasound and fluoroscopy guided pain intervention techniques.
