It’s National Pain Week
Do you suffer from Chronic Pain? You are not alone, an estimated 20% of Australian adults report chronic pain (persistent pain over 3 months). Help is at hand. Pain management is best achieved with a collaboration of multiple disciplines, ranging from the GP to physiotherapists, pain specialists and many others.

A lovely gift from one of my patients to brighten up the day 🌹 😊
It’s dry July!
Are you drinking more than 2 standard drinks a day or more than 4 standard drinks in one sitting? If so, you’re drinking more than the recommended amount which could lead to long term health problems such a heart and liver problems to name a few.
Come and see me in clinic today for help on cutting down.
Does your cough need antibiotics?
A recent Australian study has shown that GP’s are prescribing up to 9 times more antibiotics than recommended. A lot of cough or cold-like symptoms are caused by viruses which don’t respond to antibiotics.
If you are in any doubt whether you’re suffering from a viral or bacterial infection come and see me in clinic today to make sure you’re getting the right treatment.
Let’s beat antibiotic resistance together!
It’s Diabetes Awareness Week!
Thirst, lethargy, change in weight and passing urine frequently are some of the common symptoms of diabetes.
