CHRONIC PAIN TREATMENTS IN SPRINGFIELD

1 in 5 Australians are living with CHRONIC PAIN!

Many are just chewing on medications to help, so many are confused as to where to get real help, and many more have just given up and continue to suffer - affecting their work, relationships and mental health.

We CAN help!  

Living with daily pain is an absolute nightmare! As Health Professionals we see it up close every day. It can dominate your life and drag you down.   At OFP we provide solutions not just services.  And we literally have a whole team to help you - including Physios, Massage Therapists, Dietitians, an Exercise Physiologist, Naturopath and Personal Trainers.

Stress, anger and frustration can be associated with growing disruption of your lifestyle due to un-managed pain. As you gradually do less of your “usual” activities, it is easy to lose a sense of just who you are and this will increase stress and the cycle continues. Fear is also a common emotional response. It is normal to be fearful when you do not understand what is happening to you and fearful to move and resume normal activities.

Physiotherapists are experts at advising how to make staged and meaningful changes to your lifestyle to reduce chronic pain. Learning “how” to make these changes will be important as it will improve your quality of life and enable you to be involved in many activities again. 

The first step in taking charge of pain management is hearing the story of how the pain began. It is important for you and us to learn as much as we can about your condition so we can educate you further and provide real, non-pharmacological solutions to your persistent pain including advice, education, massage, manipulation/mobilisation, acupuncture, exercise therapy and much more. One of things the research says over and over is a mind-set shift is most helpful in those who suffer chronic pain, as the nervous system becomes over stimulated and sensitised and can drive pain.
