PAIN MANAGEMENT CENTRE - BURWOOD HOSPITAL
About the Centre
The Burwood Pain Management Centre was established in February 1988. The Pain Management Service provides an interdisciplinary approach that is tailored to meet the complex needs of individuals with chronic pain. The aim is to restore functional ability and enable individuals to live as independently as possible despite their pain. Pain Management involves learning different ways of thinking and acting so that pain interferes less with life. A self-management approach requires an individual to play an active role in their pain management and emphasises an improvement in quality of life and function, rather than a cure.
The Pain Management Centre team encompasses a wide range of health disciplines with extensive experience and knowledge in pain control methods, pain management strategies and programmes.
