Why can pain continue even after an injury has healed?
Pain is more complicated than simply detecting damage to muscles, joints or other tissues.

Our nervous system constantly processes information from throughout the body. Sometimes, changes in this processing can contribute to persistent or amplified pain responses.

A new systematic review published in Scientific Reports examined 24 studies involving 3,494 people experiencing chronic pain.

Researchers found that people with higher scores on certain measures associated with altered pain processing generally experienced less favourable outcomes following invasive procedures targeting peripheral tissues.

What does this mean?
It highlights why treating a painful area doesn't always resolve someone's symptoms.
Persistent pain may involve several interacting factors, including tissue-related problems, nervous system processing, sleep and psychological wellbeing.
Importantly, the research had substantial limitations and cannot predict how an individual patient will respond to treatment.

The takeaway: Persistent pain deserves an individualised assessment that considers more than just the location of symptoms.

Did you know osteoporosis can develop without any symptoms?

Today is World Osteoporosis Day!

Osteoporosis is a condition that causes bones to become less dense and more fragile, increasing the risk of fractures.

One of the concerning things about osteoporosis is that many people don't realise they have it until they break a bone.

Here are three important facts:

🔹 Osteoporosis affects men too! Worldwide, approximately one in five men over 50 will experience an osteoporosis-related fracture during their remaining lifetime.

🔹 A minor fracture can be an important warning sign. If you're over 50 and break a bone following a minor fall, it's worth discussing your bone health with your GP.

🔹 Bones are living tissues! They constantly undergo a process of breakdown and rebuilding. Regular weight-bearing exercise, appropriate resistance training and adequate nutrition help maintain bone health.

Interestingly, an ordinary X-ray cannot reliably diagnose osteoporosis, there needs to be at least a 20% change to bone for it to be visible. A specialised bone density scan, known as DXA (DEXA), may be recommended following an assessment of your risk factors.

This World Osteoporosis Day, consider discussing your bone health with your GP, particularly if you've experienced a fracture or have other risk factors.

Are you watching the Commonwealth Games?
We've loved watching Australia's incredible performances so far! 💚💛

As a clinic with a special interest in sports medicine we're definitely enjoying it! One statistic caught our eye: when you compare medals per million people, Australia is leading the major Commonwealth nations. It's a great reminder of what dedication, consistency and teamwork can achieve.

If you are following the Commonwealth Games which Australian athlete or event has been your favourite so far?

UPDATE - National Emergency Alert System Test – Monday 27 July

Just a heads up for anyone visiting our clinic tomorrow.

The Australian Government will be conducting a national test of the new AusAlert emergency warning system on Monday 27 July.

During the test, compatible mobile phones may:
- Display a test emergency alert
- Emit a loud siren-like sound
- Vibrate briefly

This is only a test. No action is required.

Not all devices will receive the alert, and those that do may receive it at different times. This is expected.

If your phone sounds during your appointment, there's no need to worry—it's simply part of the nationwide test.

Thank you for your understanding.

Many spinal imaging findings are incredibly common in people without any pain at all.

By age 40, studies have found that among people with no back pain:
• 68% have disc degeneration
• 50% have disc bulges
• 33% have disc protrusions
• 18% have facet joint degeneration

These findings become even more common as we get older. By age 60, nearly 9 in 10 people show some degree of disc degeneration on imaging.

This doesn't mean scans are useless. Imaging can be very important when serious conditions are suspected. However, it does remind us that terms such as "wear and tear", "degeneration" or "bulging discs" do not automatically explain why someone is experiencing pain.

Pain is complex and is influenced by many factors, including tissue health, physical loading, sleep, stress, previous experiences, beliefs, general health and nervous system sensitivity.

A scan is only one piece of the puzzle. The most important question remains:

How is the person functioning and what is contributing to their symptoms?

If you've recently had imaging and are unsure what the findings mean, discussing the results with a qualified healthcare professional can help put them into context. Get in touch!

This is a Telstra network issue, not an issue with our clinic. Any delayed messages should send automatically once Telstra restores services.

If you have an appointment with us, please check your booking details carefully and contact the clinic if you’re unsure of your appointment time.

Long desk days can add up.

Recent reporting has highlighted concerns around sedentary work, including tight hips, neck discomfort and reduced mobility. Safe Work Australia also advises that workers should not stay in seated, standing or static postures for long periods.

There is no single perfect posture. The body generally prefers variety — changing position, taking short movement breaks and building more movement into the workday.

Need help working through a neck, back or shoulder concern? Let us know! Call us or book online.

A walkable neighbourhood can make a real difference.

CityNews recently reported on research finding that people in well-connected regional towns walked about 75 minutes more each week than those in less walkable areas. The article noted this accounts for about 50% of recommended weekly physical activity guidelines.

That is a good reminder that regular movement does not always need to be complicated. A short walk to the shops, walking at lunch, or adding small bouts of movement into the day can all count. It doesn't have to be a full walk around one of our lakes. Luckily we have all our famous cycle-ways in Canberra to get around!

If pain, stiffness or a lack of mobility is limiting your walking or activity, let us know and we're happy to help.

It is our pleasure to look after Veterans in Canberra. It is great to see local programs supporting veterans’ wellbeing in Canberra.

The ACT Government’s 2025–26 Veterans Grant Program includes projects such as aquatic therapy, social gatherings, pottery, sport and mountain biking — all with a focus on healthy living and social connection.

Movement and wellbeing can look different for everyone. For some people it is structured exercise. For others it may be gentle activity, rehab, massage, social connection or building a routine that feels manageable.

You can seek for info here: https://www.act.gov.au/money-and-tax/grants-funding-and-incentives/funding-to-help-veterans-and-their-families-engage-with-the-community

Whether you're a actively serving or you're a veteran (or both?) it's our utmost pleasure to serve you.

Please get in touch with our practice to see how we can help you.
