How we can help
Pain management refers to the medical specialty that focuses on treating and managing pain, which can be caused by a variety of factors including injury, illness, surgery, or chronic conditions such as arthritis or fibromyalgia. Pain management aims to reduce pain levels and improve the patient's quality of life by addressing the underlying cause of the pain, treating the symptoms, and minimizing the impact of pain on daily activities by Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medical practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the body's natural healing processes by stimulating the body's nervous system, which can activate the release of various chemicals and hormones that promote healing and pain relief.
For example, acupuncture may trigger the release of endorphins, which are the body's natural painkillers. Recent research has also suggested that acupuncture may work by modulating the immune system, reducing inflammation, and promoting the regeneration of damaged tissues. Some studies have shown that acupuncture can stimulate the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines and increase the activity of natural killer cells, which can help the body fight off infections and heal injuries.
Chinese medicine is a traditional system of medicine that has been practiced in China for thousands of years. It encompasses a range of holistic practices, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, massage, dietary therapy, and exercise. According to the principles of Chinese medicine, the body is seen as a complex system of interconnected parts, and health is viewed as a state of balance and harmony within this system. When this balance is disrupted, illness or disease can occur.
The goal of Chinese medicine is to restore balance and harmony within the body by addressing the root cause of the problem, rather than just treating the symptoms. Chinese medicine is still widely practiced today, both in Asia, USA and European countries and around the world. While some aspects of the practice may be controversial or not fully understood, many people find it to be a valuable complement to Western medicine for maintaining health and treating a range of conditions.
Palliative care is a type of medical care that is focused on improving the quality of life of patients who have serious or life-limiting illnesses. The goal of palliative care is to provide relief from the symptoms and stress of the illness, with the aim of improving the patient's overall well-being.
Palliative care in Pain management Australia may include Acupuncture, remedial Massage and Chinese Medicine to support their pain relief, symptom control, and emotional and psychological support. PMA also works closely with the patient's family to provide Acupuncture to help them cope with the challenges of caring for a loved one with a serious illness.
Disability care support refers to a range of services and supports that are provided to individuals with disabilities to help them live independently and improve their quality of life. The specific types of support and services provided may vary depending on the individual's needs, but may include from Pain Management Australia:
- Social support: Assistance with social activities and community integration.
- Employment support: Assistance with finding and maintaining employment.
- Education and training: Assistance with education and training to improve job skills and increase independence.
The specific types of support and services provided may depend on the individual's needs, the type and severity of their disability, and the resources available in their community. The goal of disability care support is to help individuals with disabilities live as independently as possible and achieve their goals and aspirations.
