A - Arms: Can they lift both arms?

This National Pain Week - July 21-27, we're focusing on a significant health challenge affecting millions of Australians: chronic pain. At Coolangatta Medical Centre servicing the southern Gold Coast and Tweed Coast, we want to create awareness on this complex condition and remind you that you don't have to suffer in silence.

๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—–๐—ต๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ฐ ๐—ฃ๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ป? Chronic pain isn't just pain that lasts a long time; it's pain that persists for three or more months. Unlike acute pain (which protects us from injury), chronic pain serves no protective function. It's often due to a "reprogramming" of the nervous system, where pain signals become more frequent and amplified.

Chronic pain can significantly impact every aspect of life โ€“ from work and sleep to social activities and emotional wellbeing. It affects over 3.6 million Australians and is the leading cause of disability in our country.

This means looking at the "biological, psychological, and social" aspects of your pain, and may include a combination of strategies like medication, movement, diet, relaxation techniques, and cognitive strategies. It often requires a team of health professionals.

What are YOU doing for your wellbeing if you live with chronic pain? While chronic pain can be debilitating, effective management is possible and starts with your GP.

Don't Live With Unmanaged Pain. Despite its prevalence, only a small percentage of Australians with chronic pain can access multidisciplinary pain management. At Coolangatta Medical Centre servicing the southern Gold Coast and Tweed Coast, we are committed to supporting our patients.

If you are experiencing chronic pain, or if you know someone who is, please know that help is available. Book an appointment with our compassionate GPs today to discuss your pain, explore management options, and create a personalised plan to improve your quality of life.
