Learn How To Re-train Your Brain To React Differently To Pain
Chronic Pain is a big problem in Australia with as many as 1 in 5 people living with persistent pain daily. In addition it has been reported that up to 1 in 10 people become addicted to pharmaceutical opioids prescribed for genuine pain related conditions. There is a real need in our community for innovative and evidence based solutions.
That’s why Vibe Natural Health is partnering with PainWISE.
PainWISE is a a persistent pain education program, developed by award-winning clinical pharmacist Joyce McSwan. Its goal is to help people understand their pain, re-train their brain, and ultimately better manage their condition.
Vibe Natural Health is the only multi-modality allied health practice in Brisbane offering the PainWISE program, combining the three key areas essential to pain management success: education, team care, and community, in the one clinic.
