Prof. Jan’s Mission Statement

To both help and be dedicated to patients with their pain management.
To utilise the range of standard evidence-based therapies (from pharmacological to procedural interventions) that both benefit and have reduced harm in the short and long term.
To mitigate harm by minimising opioid usage and high-risk procedures.
To incorporate, where evidenced-based, non-pharmacological methods such as acupuncture, meditation, diet, exercises, yogic stretches and Tai Chi.
To ensure that severe or treatable conditions are not missed and to utilise in collaboration with your usual GP investigations and imaging as needed.
