18.01.2022 Effects of Chronic Pain Living with Chronic Pain can negatively impact your quality of life in many ways. Apart from living in constant pain, it is often accompanied by; Insomnia and Fatigue... Sleep is a direct factor affecting pain. Not getting enough quality sleep can increase your sensitivity to pain. For those living with Chronic Pain, finding a good nights’ sleep can be made even more difficult, feeding into a cycle causing sleep deprivation, which can then lead to fatigue. Once fatigue sets in your everyday tasks become even more difficult. Depression and Anxiety Living with Chronic Pain can have a destructive influence on your mental health as it adds unrequired burden to your day to day life, potentially affecting your ability to work, finances and causing strain on personal relationships. Substance Misuse Sadly it is often reported that the overuse and misuse of substances such as alcohol and prescription medications is common in those with Chronic Pain. These conditions create a vicious cycle which can be difficult to break without the correct treatment and support. If you’re suffering with pain, developing a greater understanding of it as well as your treatment options, can greatly assist you in making informed choices when it comes to managing your pain.

17.01.2022 Headaches An estimated 15% of Australians are taking pain medication for a Headache at any given time. Headaches can come out of nowhere from a variety of causes but one thing is for sure, when they strike, they can instantly ruin your day! Common types of Headaches... Tension Headache: These are typically the most common form of headache, giving a feeling of tenderness, tightness or stiffness in the muscles of the back, neck, shoulders and/or jaw. Pain can be felt bilaterally (both sides of the head) and often at the temples, potentially lasting between 30 mins to a week. Cluster Headaches: Pain characterised by several intense throbbing headaches typically located on one side of the head, involving the eye, temple, neck and face. These approximately last an hour and are recurrent. Eyestrain Headaches: These can occur due to over use of your eyes, inadequate lighting or visual impairment. Pain is generally felt in the Frontal (front of the brain) or Supraorbital (the area directly above the eye sockets) and becomes worse after prolonged or intense use of the eyes. Hormonal Headaches: Occur in females during menstruation due to a decline of both oestrogen and progesterone. Sinus Headaches: Caused by sinus congestion and/or infection. Presents as a deep, dull or severe pain at the front of the head over the affected sinus. Symptoms typically worsen in cold, damp conditions with pain greater in the morning and decreasing throughout the day. Common causes of Headaches include; Dehydration Lack of sleep Eyestrain Muscular tension Chronic stress and anxiety Depression Caffeine sensitivity, excess or withdrawal Alcohol consumption Magnesium deficient diet Hormonal imbalance Hypoglycaemia If Migraines or Headaches are something you’re tired of living with, the good news is relief may be closer than you think.

10.01.2022 National Stroke Week This week (August 2nd 8th) is National Stroke Week. The Stroke Foundation operate this awareness week to bring attention to the seriousness of Stroke in Australia. The theme for this years’ National Stroke Week is United by Stroke, encouraging public education of the signs of Stroke by becoming familiar with F.A.S.T. (Face. Arms. Speech. Time.), in order to identify if someone is having a Stroke. What is a Stroke?... In order to function, our brain requires blood to provide oxygen and nutrients via arteries. When the supply of blood is prevented due to a blocked or burst artery it is referred to as a Stroke. This lack of oxygen and nutrients result in the death of brain cells. There are two types of Strokes; Ischaemic Stroke: An artery in the brain gets blocked by a clot. Haemorrhagic Stroke: A blood vessel in the brain breaks and begins to bleed. Knowing the signs of Stroke could one day be extremely important in assisting a friend or loved one in getting the urgent medical attention they require.

04.01.2022 Risk Factors for Chronic Pain Currently it is reported that 1 in 5 Australians are living with Chronic Pain and as this number is expected to double by 2050, it may be interesting to learn of the biological, psychological and lifestyle risk factors that can potentially contribute to developing this condition. Biological Risk Factors... Previous injury Surgery Being overweight/obese Age Genetics Psychological Risk Factors Childhood trauma Mood disorders Lifestyle Risk Factors Stress Smoking Unhealthy diet Sedentary lifestyle A high risk workplace involving heavy lifting or strenuous physical activity High exposure to chemicals and pollution likely to cause inflammation Unfortunately we can’t control everything on this list. We can however take action to positively influence the majority of these factors, lessening the chances that we ourselves become part of the increasing number of Chronic Pain sufferers.

02.01.2022 Do You Suffer with Chronic Pain We understand that Acute Pain is experienced as the result of an injury or trauma and is only felt for a short time. An example of this is kicking your toe, we feel immediate pain at the affected site which may only last a few moments or a few days depending on the severity of injury and the length of healing required. It is when the pain becomes persistent that we have an issue. Chronic Pain (also known as Persistent Pain) is pain that persist...s for longer than 12 weeks and can occur in almost any part of the body reducing and limiting mobility, flexibility, strength and endurance. The cause of Chronic Pain may be identified on a scan or test but there are many cases when it is difficult to detect, as no physical explanation for the pain can be found. Examples of common conditions associated with Chronic Pain include; Arthritis and joint pain Lower back pain Sciatica Migraines and headaches Musculoskeletal aches and pains Muscular spasms Neuralgia and nerve pain Fibromyalgia Pelvic pain Persistent post-injury pain Persistent post-surgical pain Post-trauma pain If you’re suffering with pain, developing a greater understanding of it as well as your treatment options, can greatly assist you in making informed choices when it comes to managing your pain.
