Shoulder pain has long been regarded as difficult to treat. Many painful shoulders have bursitis as either a primary or co-existing diagnosis. One of the reasons shoulders are hard to treat is that your practitioner needs to excel at treating more than just the shoulder - they have to be good at treating the entire body! Read about why at:

Persistent pain is common, complex, yet treatable. In my latest post I outline the science behind how pain becomes chronic, how it involves multiple systems of the body, and how this understanding offers insights into treatment (why certain treatments work and some don't).

Read my latest post about conquering persistent pain. In this short article I discuss the Fascial System of the body and introduce how it is involved in causing pain.

The fascial system is the second system of the body we examine in respect of conquering chronic pain

To conquer chronic pain, you need to understand how the different systems of the body can all play a role in causing persistent pain. You also need a practitioner who knows how to effectively treat each system & how they interact. Read the first in a series of posts about how chronic pain occurs and how to beat it.

When is a wrist sprain not a wrist sprain? Sounds a bit like something the Riddler in the 1960's Batman TV series would say!

Turns out quite a few "sprains" are really a nasty little fracture of the scaphoid bone. This is a common injury that you shouldn't ignore. Read on to learn why it can have serious long term consequences.

Pain Solutions Qld is now fully open and seeing patients after the floods. The sheer speed of our repairs would not have been possible without the help of some very talented and hard working people:

Ally Builders https://allybuilders.com.au/: Jacob Buhle and Paul Weinert. These guys are master craftsman: they know how to do a job well and how to manage trades to keep things moving. They stepped up straight away to help in our emergency and we are truly grateful.

Jason Walters from Blueline Architecture https://bluelinearchitecture.com.au/ whose expert advice ensured that things ran smoothly and that all materials were ordered in advance.

Trevor from Element Cabinetry who was able to expertly repair / replace our damaged items in a short turnaround.

Dean Roulstone from D.E.A.N.S Electrical who got power back on safely and quickly for us.

We are so thankful to you all and to our friends who helped with the clean up! It's wonderful to back serving our wonderful patients again.

Unfortunately we got flooded like everyone else in Milton. Thankfully, without the mud that happened in the 2011 floods and thankfully not too bad, but it has forced the clinic to close for several weeks whilst we repair the damage.

Most importantly thank you to some really great mates who helped out immediately when they found out. I will miss some I'm sure but a massive thanks to everyone who helped including my own boys Luke and Ben who manned the shovels to lift the carpet on the first morning, the Larssons and Gordon Reynolds who originally fit out our clinic space. Legend! Massive shout out to Jason Walters from Blueline Architecture for coming in with amazing advice and a helping hand from day 1 (and frankly really great advice every day since!), and my great mates Deb & Terry Hunter who showed me how to plaster! Dazza, you were unbelievable and injected energy right when we were hitting the wall, thanks Keith for making a run down from Redcliff to lend a generator and family members Geoff and John for the same with a run up from the coast.

Today I owe a massive thanks to Jake and Paul, our builders who own and run Ally Builders. I can't thank them enough for turning up, sizing up the situation and mucking in immediately in their usual highly professional manner. We will have a great clinic to return to in a few weeks time from their input and contacts.

A few photos below of all that has happened, including one from someone who thought their little sedan could race through the flood waters the night before (as you can see it never works!).
