Chronic pain is a persistent pain that lasts for weeks, months, or even years, affecting your ability to perform daily activities and significantly impacting your quality of life. It can result from various conditions such as arthritis, nerve damage, musculoskeletal disorders, or past injuries. Chronic pain rehabilitation involves a comprehensive approach that combines various techniques to manage pain, improve function, and enhance overall well-being.
While chronic pain may not always be completely cured, effective rehabilitation can significantly reduce pain levels, improve function, and enhance quality of life. Our goal is to help you manage pain and lead a fulfilling life.
The timeframe for seeing improvements varies depending on the individual and the underlying cause of pain. Some patients may notice changes within a few weeks, while others might take several months. Consistency and adherence to the treatment plan are key.
Physiotherapy aims to reduce reliance on medications by addressing the root causes of pain and providing natural pain relief techniques. However, in some cases, medications may be necessary and should be discussed with your healthcare provider.
Adopting a healthy lifestyle can significantly impact chronic pain management. This includes maintaining a balanced diet, regular physical activity, adequate sleep, stress reduction, and avoiding activities/habits that may exacerbate pain, such as smoking or excessive alcohol consumption which can drive inflammation.
Coverage for chronic pain rehabilitation comes under the general physiotherapy lens and varies in Australia depending on your insurance plan. It’s advisable to check with your insurance provider to see how much physiotherapy your plan has cover for yearly.
