Types of pain we can help with

Pain can come in a range of different forms, with each type requiring its own approach to treatment. At Praxis Medical, we work with you to identify and then address whichever form of pain you’re suffering from.

  • Acute pain

    Acute pain is sharp, sudden, or intense pain that generally has a direct underlying cause. It may be the result of an injury, illness, medical procedure, or some other kind of bodily trauma.

  • Chronic pain

    Chronic pain refers to pain that has lasted longer than three months, either consistently or intermittently. It may affect any part of someone’s body and there are a variety of potential causes. Due to the continuous nature of chronic pain, it often takes a negative toll on the individual as well as a physical one.

  • Nociceptive pain

    Nociceptive pain is the result of organs, joints, muscles, bones, or skin experiencing direct tissue damage. This kind of pain will generally be sharp, cramping, or aching.

  • Neuropathic pain

    Neuropathic pain, or nerve pain, is due to problems with an individual’s nervous system. This specific type of pain is characterised by feeling like tingling, burning, or electrical shocks.

  • Nociplastic pain

    Nociplastic pain results from issues related to the processing of signals between the brain and spine rather than damage to the body. Some examples of conditions that suffer from nociplastic pain include some terms of long-term back pain and fibromyalgia.

Living with pain is frustrating and exhausting, making everyday life much more difficult. At Praxis Medical, we focus on finding a pain management treatment that works best for you, allowing you to live life with less pain and more ease.

  • Pain medication management

    In many cases, medication can be very effective to help you manage chronic or acute pain. Our doctors can help you maintain the optimal level and dose of medication you require, while also monitoring any potential side effects.

  • Specialist referrals

    If you’re experiencing complex pain or not responding to the medication that you have been prescribed, we are able to refer you to a specialist for further assessment and treatment. By finding a specialist in our dedicated allied health network, you will be able to find a suitable solution for your pain.

  • Lifestyle advice

    Often, you are able to relieve pain-related issues by making some simple changes to your lifestyle. We are able to advise you about how to introduce gentle exercise, activities, nutrition, and weight management to help relieve your pain.

  • Mental health

    Aside from physical discomfort, experiencing chronic pain often has a negative impact on mental help. We are able to offer our patients compassionate support and care plans that address their emotional wellbeing as well as their physical pain, helping to create better overall outcomes.
