Minimise Pain

We offer expert advice, and group workshops, to help those living with chronic pain to deal with their condition.

Generally speaking, if you have pain that has lasted more than three months and has not been relieved by medical care, surgical care or physiotherapeutic modalities, you may have chronic pain.

Chronic Pain affects people of all ages, and commonly affects people who have sustained an injury or with health conditions like diabetes, arthritis, or back problems.

While acute pain is an important warning mechanism that tells us “something is wrong. Get help, ” chronic pain does not have a useful function for the person.

Often, radiological and other biomedical tests will show “no problems” but pain persists as an invisible condition. Patients may be doubted as to the veracity of their complaints. Research tells us that a person’s nervous system can become sensitised so that pain is amplified and even non-painful stimuli, like light touch, trigger pain.

If this sounds like you, we strongly encourage you to contact your General Practitioner to investigate the causes. As the longer your pain persists, the greater the problems you are likely to face.
