Living with pain?
Let us help...
Northern Beaches Pain Management
Northern Beaches Pain Management is a specialist pain practice dedicated to helping patients suffering with poorly controlled pain. We know how debilitating and all-encompassing living with daily pain can be. Through a wide range of treatment strategies, including interventional options (injection techniques), we aim to develop a personalised plan for each patient, helping you to get on with enjoying your life.
In order to ensure the best possible pain management plan, we will liaise closely with your other health providers such as your GP, medical specialists and allied health team. We work closely with a range of multi-disciplinary providers including physiotherapists, psychologists and psychiatrists to achieve the best possible outcomes for you.
