BACK OR NECK PAIN ?
Have you had back or neck pain for more than 3 months or does pain recurrently return ?
Chronic back pain can be debilitating and may be challenging to manage on your own . Seeking medical care instead of self medicating to manage symptoms may yield more sustainable results .
MEDICAL CARE
As part of best-practice spinal care for chronic pain , your GP may recommend a functional restoration treatment solution to treat the cause of your pain . Treatment of acute back pain ( shorter than 3 months ) may require a different intervention .
Speak to your nominated GP or network Doctor
