Pain Management
Plant Medicine
Our doctors support the careful use of plant-based medicine to help manage long-term health conditions. It is offered as a complementary treatment for chronic diseases when conventional therapies alone do not provide enough relief.
At Paterson Healthcare, our independent GPs assess each patient individually to determine whether plant-based treatment is suitable. It may be considered for conditions such as chronic pain, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and nausea related to chemotherapy. All prescriptions follow current Australian clinical guidelines.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is available at our clinic as part of a medically guided pain management plan. Our certified practitioners are trained through the Australian Medical Acupuncture College (AMAC) and apply a scientific understanding of the nervous system to every treatment.
This therapy may support relief from a wide range of conditions, including allergies, migraines, neck and back pain, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, and certain digestive problems. Each session is delivered safely in a clinical setting with your comfort and wellbeing in mind.
Low-Level Laser Therapy
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), or Cold Laser Therapy, is a modern, non-invasive treatment used to support tissue repair and reduce inflammation. It works by applying focused light energy to stimulate healing at a cellular level, without generating heat.
This therapy is used to manage chronic pain, joint stiffness, and soft tissue injuries. It helps activate cell repair, reduce swelling, and improve blood flow, promoting quicker recovery and long-term pain control. Our doctors tailor the treatment plan based on your condition and overall health goals.
For a deeper understanding of LLLT, Acupuncture, and its benefits, you can visit our laser pain management Clinic at www.laserpainmanagement.com.au. Experience the wonders of LLLT and Acupuncture and take a step toward a healthier, pain-free life.
