Dorset Pain Management Service
To help you with your pain, we’ve actually set up our four pillars model, and that’s to help you get a greater sense of control about how to live with and manage your pain. So we help people understand their body, their brain, their spinal cord.
We help them think of how to become more fit in themselves, how to work with their diet and their sleep. Also how to make better life choices in terms of taking up hobbies that might have fallen by the wayside, the skills you might have, and finally help to deal with the anxiety and depression that just goes hand in hand with living with pain.
So if you think we can help you in some way, please get in touch; we would be delighted to help you.
