Conditions We Treat
If you’re in persistent pain, you’re not alone.
Persistent pain is one of the most common medical complaints in the world, affecting around 1 in 5 people. Although this statistic may not give you immediate comfort, knowing that our Brisbane pain clinic specialises in relieving persistent pain might.
At Interventus, we understand that persistent pain hurts more than just your body. It also hurts your emotional state, your relationships, your memory and your overall quality of life.
It’s our mission to generate change to help patients achieve sustained relief of pain so they can enjoy every day, free from discomfort or suffering.
Intervention: an action that leads to change.
We specialise in using six key interventions specifically tailored to your circumstances and needs.
1 – Target specific cause of pain
We aim to find the specific cause for your pain through a comprehensive consultation and further investigations, if required, before treating with a targeted intervention.
2 – Sensible use of medications
Our Pain Specialists are highly qualified in helping patients achieve the right medication usage that balances benefits, risks and side effects, without over-use or over-reliance.
3 – Physical and functional reconditioning
Using a team approach that’s expertly coordinated by a Pain Specialist, we focus on improving both your overall physical health and functional ability.
4 – Education is power
Ongoing avoidance of activity associated with pain can leave you stuck in a vicious cycle with ever-declining physical and functional capacity. We help you understand these concepts, so you’re empowered to change that cycle.
5 – Manage psychological and social consequences of pain
As well as treating the underlying pain disorder, we can also help you manage associated problems with your mood or relationships that may have developed over months or years.
6 – Use advanced technologies where appropriate
Interventus’ Pain Specialists are experts in the use of Spinal Cord Stimulation, a technologically advanced procedure involving electrical stimulation of pain pathways in the posterior spinal cord.
