Our rehabilitation physicians help you manage complex neurological conditions and the associated disability, with precision, compassion, and a plan built around you.
“We manage complex neurological conditions and the associated disability.”
Our team of rehabilitation physicians can assist with many conditions, from acquired brain and spinal injuries to chronic pain and spasticity.
Advanced, evidence-based interventions to reduce pain, manage spasticity, and improve day-to-day function.
Botulinum toxin therapy treats muscle hyperactivity disorders including dystonia, spasticity, cerebral palsy and hemifacial spasms. Ultrasound guidance ensures exact placement for greater effect and fewer side effects.
Intrathecal baclofen therapy delivers medication into the fluid around the spinal cord to manage severe spasticity. For long-term treatment, a pump is surgically placed, with a trial first to confirm suitability.
Ketamine is used to treat neuropathic pain that hasn't responded to simpler medications, and can help reduce the amount of opioids required as part of a broader pain-management plan.
Nerve blocks are used for pain treatment and management. Pain in a specific region can often be blocked with a targeted injection of medications such as local anaesthetic and/or phenol.
Our rehabilitation physicians are accredited at Masada Private, Epworth and St John of God Frankston Hospitals and can assist with inpatient or outpatient programs.
