Back pain is a common problem and although rarely serious, can be severely limiting to your life.

​

It can be very confusing when making a decision about who you should see about a recent episode of pain and especially daunting to make this decision if you've had ongoing pain.

​

There is hopeful news...

​

We now know a lot more about how to help people with pain than in the past.  Whilst there is still much to learn, it has been found that an individualised approach to pain is helpful, rather than a 'one size fits all' treatment.

​

What this means to you is that we can use up to date understanding, training and technology and to help maximise your chance of recovery.

​

It can be shown that by using clinically validated outcome assessment tools before you even come to the clinic that we can match the most appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan to the history and characteristics of your problem.

​

We begin by registering you onto the cloud based Care Response system.  By answering the questions carefully and by having an initial phone consultation with Hedd Piper, a clinician with over 20 years experience, we can find out the nature of your problem and the level of support you may need in order to overcome the pain  - from just an initial phone call to reassure you and to provide some advice, to detailed plans encompassing your lifestyle, health and well-being, sleep and stress.  

​

Your in-person assessment will usually include:

• Orthopaedic and neurological tests

• Consideration regarding referral for scans or blood tests

• An explanation of the cause of your pain

• An explanation of the plan to help you recover

• A discussion of who you might need to see if it's felt we cannot help you
