Don’t Navigate Chronic Pain Alone

Chronic pain is a challenging and often isolating condition that affects over four million Australians. Here at Specific Physiotherapy, we have a program for individuals living with ongoing pain that aims to reduce pain intensity, enhance quality of life, improve function, and ultimately support better overall pain management. Plus, we can manage your pain with an Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) Plan, meaning it’s more affordable to access physio care.

Understanding Pain Conditions

Chronic pain is defined as pain that lasts three or more months. For many, their lives have been impacted by chronic pain for years or decades. There are many types of chronic pain, including:
understanding chronic pain

Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain

This includes chronic back pain and chronic neck pain. Spinal conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, cervical spondylosis from poor posture, arthritis, and repetitive strain injuries.

Chronic Pain Syndromes

There are several chronic pain syndromes, including fibromyalgia and complex regional pain syndrome. These can be challenging to diagnose and treat due to the diverse nature of neuropathic pain symptoms.

Post-Surgery and Trauma Pain

For some, the pain after surgery, traumatic injury, or accident doesn't ease with the typical course of treatment. We can create a tailored treatment plan for you if you're experiencing this type of pain.

Headaches and Migraines

Chronic headaches and migraines can be debilitating. At Specific Physiotherapy, we can assist with headaches through posture correction, exercises, and relaxation to manage the frequency of your pain.

Patient Education

Navigating pain can be confusing, especially when you don't understand the reasons your symptoms are continuing. Our physios use visual learning, such as anatomy models and posters, to give you a detailed explanation of your condition. The aim of our approach is to offer you deeper insight into your condition, as well as improved communication and better health outcomes.

Customised Exercises

We develop customised exercise plans based on certain conditions, which can be adapted and progressed to suit your progress. We avoid generic print outs and always prioritise your well being at every step.

EPC Plans and Chronic Pain

The EPC plan is a Medicare initiative that allows patients with chronic medical conditions to access professional physiotherapy services. The key to accessing this plan is through a GP referral. To be eligible for an EPC plan, you must have a chronic condition that has been or is likely to be present for at least six months. This includes conditions like arthritis, chronic back pain, or repetitive strain injuries. With the EPC Plan, you can access physiotherapy sessions at a reduced cost.
