What we do
Our Services
Physical Rehabilitation Consultation
Physical Rehabilitation Medicine or Rehabilitation Medicine is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing, treating and managing physical impairments or disabilities caused by injury, disease or disorders. Its primary goals are to enhance functional ability and reduce or alleviate chronic or movement-related pain. A consultation with a Rehabilitation Consultant (Rehabilitation Specialist) involves a detailed assessment of a patient’s condition, particularly addressing the musculoskeletal injuries, movement related or chronic pain conditions. Initial consultation will include review of previous diagnostic and imaging tests. Further diagnostic evaluations, including imaging and laboratory tests, may be necessary to confirm a diagnosis and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
Medical Acupuncture
Medical acupuncture, also known as Western medical acupuncture, does not adhere to traditional Chinese concepts such as yin/yang and qi circulation, but focuses on the physiological and neurological processes. Through the lens of neurophysiology, acupuncture points can be stimulated to trigger the release of various hormones and chemicals, including neurotransmitters.
Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy has widespread use in the fields of Orthopaedics, Rehabilitation, and Sports Medicine as a non-surgical approach to treating acute and chronic musculoskeletal injuries and diseases. This innovative treatment is used in both elite athletes and the general population due to its potential to accelerate healing and provide relief from various conditions. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is an autologous treatment that uses a patient's own blood to promote healing. The process begins with a small blood sample, which is spun in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets within the plasma. This concentrated plasma, rich in platelets and bioactive substances, is then reintroduced into the patient, typically at the site of injury or damage, to accelerate healing and tissue repair.
Photobiomodulation (Low Level Laser Therapy)
Previously known as Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), PBM is a noninvasive treatment using red and near-infrared light (600–1100nm) to promote healing, reduce pain, and decrease inflammation. Recent advancements also highlight its antibacterial and antiviral effects. When applied by trained professionals, PBM offers a safe, drug-free approach for managing acute and chronic conditions, benefiting fields like rehabilitation, orthopedics, dermatology, and neurology. TGA-approved Class IV lasers used in PBM reflect decades of research and innovation, making it a versatile tool for pain relief and tissue repair.
Prolotherapy
Prolotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment with over 80 years of clinical use for managing chronic musculoskeletal conditions. It is particularly effective in addressing ligamentous laxity and related joint or arthritic issues. The procedure involves injecting a sterile dextrose solution—a sugar-based irritant that mimics the body’s natural substances—into the affected area. This stimulates the body’s healing response, strengthening ligaments over time, stabilising joints, and reducing pain. Prolotherapy is commonly used to treat injured joints and ligaments, offering a practical and effective approach to long-term pain relief and improved joint stability.
