The 'Holistic' Experience.
PainMed is an interdisciplinary pain management service. We incorporate the most effective pain management techniques to ease your pain.
At PainMed, we use a holistic approach, addressing not only the physical problems, but also the impact this may have on your psychological and social wellbeing.
We strive to provide a high-grade quality of care which is not only limited to conventional medical management but also contemporary interventional pain management techniques.
We believe that this model of care can provide a meaningful outcome in the management of persistent pain. Individualised care where the patient is an active participant, forms the core principles of our practice. This is because pain is an individual experience and not comparable to another.
PCPC, if applied in a timely fashion can indubitably improve quality of life and decrease the burden of persistent pain.
Quality of care is our main focus; and delivering such care in a patient-centred manner is our core principle. To ensure that the best care is delivered, our clinicians keep up-to-date with the current evidence in an ever-changing field of pain medicine. This commitment enables the deliverance of high quality care.
The current best practice in the management of persistent pain is a holistic, whole-person approach. In other words a bio-psychosocial model of care. This model of care is endorsed by the Faculty Of Pain Medicine Australia (FPMANZCA) and is adopted by our clinicians.
Our comprehensive management plans comprise of six core components:
– Lifestyle Modification
– Education
– Medical Management
– Physical Therapy
– Psychological Therapy
– Interventional Management
Chronic pain is a disease in its own right. In the absence of a cure, we endeavour to provide ongoing assistance and support. Our comprehensive management plans in addition to the six core components, specifically address flare-up management and ongoing support for complex pain conditions.
Pain can affect every area of your life, including work. At PainMed, we have a range of services to help businesses and staff to support and contribute as much as feasible. We offer personalised work reconditioning, ergonomic job and worksite analysis and modification, and where required vocational counselling and job seeking skills. All designed to get staff back to work safely and sustainably.
At PainMed, we believe in empowering our patients and assist them in taking an active role in their pain management. We promote active self-management strategies for sustainability. This ties in with our policy of ‘Patient Centered Pain Care’ (PCPC).
