The George Pain Centre offers hope

Advertorial

GEORGE NEWS - Have you spent hours researching your pain symptoms online or tried managing it on your own with over-the-counter medications or natural remedies - with little to no success?

Then you need to visit the newly opened George Pain Centre, dedicated to the management of chronic and complex pain conditions including:

Arthritis
Back pain
Injury-related pain
Headaches
Fibromyalgia
Myofascial pain
Cancer-related pain
Nerve injuries

We care deeply about helping you move beyond your pain so that you can live life again. Our internationally aligned approach favours comprehensive assessments and often uses a team-based approach to pain management rather than simply relying on medications.

We recognise that pain does not fit into a one-size-fits-all box - that acute pain is vastly different from chronic pain, and that chronic pain must be managed multimodally.

We aim to empower you to take back control of your life, so we spend time educating you about your specific pain problem and work with you to develop practical and helpful strategies for recovery.

The George Pain Centre offers the following range of services:

Pain assessments and diagnoses
Medication optimisation and management
Intravenous infusions
Trigger point injections
Multidisciplinary liaison with physio-therapy, occupational therapy, psychology, surgery, and anaesthesiology services
Comprehensive workups for specialist referrals
Analgesic addiction recovery

The Pain Centre's vision is to unite pain practitioners of all disciplines so that the care of patients can be enhanced through interdisciplinary communication and united efforts toward a shared treatment goal.

The practitioners working on site at the George Pain Centre currently include general practitioner Dr Geraldine Borman and psychiatrist Dr Justine Dreyer, who are both interested in multidisciplinary work and effective, evidence-based pain management.

Pain practitioners of all disciplines who are interested in working with us towards this vision are encouraged to contact us.
