CHRONIC PAIN MANAGEMENT

PainNT Better Together

Persistent pain is best managed with an inter-professional approach, combining medical, physical and psychological therapies.  This is often referred to as a biopsychosocial approach, because it addresses all the factors that contribute to the experience of pain.

​

We are proud to be a founding member of PainNT, a collaboration of local organisations with a  commitment to delivering world class pain management services in the NT.  

Our program, based in Palmerston, NT, has been designed by an experienced inter-professional team to support adults of all ages and life stages to achieve their goals and return to maximum function- despite pain.

​

The program includes:

• Comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment

• 6-week targeted, multidisciplinary Pain Program (x2 half-days per week)

• “Maintenance” program (if required)

• Self-management approach (exercise, pacing, flare-up management, mood, stress and sleep strategies)

• Planning for return to work and other important life activities

• Recommendations for next steps
