Physical Rehabilitation

• Brisbane rehabilitation offers medically supervised rehabilitation assessment and management for a range of musculoskeletal and neurological disorders
  
  
• Depending on the nature of their condition patients can undergo outpatient or inpatient rehabilitation depending on the nature of their problem

Musculoskeletal Medicine and Pain Medicine

• Almost one fifth of the population experience chronic pain
  
  
• Patients with chronic musculoskeletal injuries often experience a whole range of treatments before receiving definitive management
  
  
• Delay in best evidence treatment can lead to further injury, interrupt work and social activities and eventually lead to stress and depression
  
  
• Brisbane rehabilitation provides evidence based (best scientific evidence) for problems such as arthritis, chronic neck, back, upper and lower limb pain
  
  
• Most often patients require a number of treatments working together to recover and adapt to their injury and pain. Rehabilitation, psychological therapy and interventional (joint or nerve injection) may be needed.

Vocational Rehabilitation

• Patients with work related injury often require rehabilitation and supervised return to work
  
  
• This can be offered within a multidisciplinary (multiple health professionals) context

Medico legal Assessment and Reports

Negotiating the culture, protocols and terminology of the medical profession can be difficult. Understanding reports compiled on patients with complex medical conditions with secondary impairment and disability can be intellectually exhausting and   time consuming.

Brisbane Rehab offers independent medical examinations for patients with medical problems and pain that result in disability and handicap. Conditions we are comfortable reporting on include:  

•  Work related injury

•  Chronic pain (eg: neck and lower back pain)

•  Musculoskeletal injury

•  Neurological injury (nerve injury, brain and spine injury)

Medico legal profiles will be formulated in a timely, detailed and understandable manner.   They will follow an objective, easy to read template that gives the reader a clear statement of the client's medical condition, treatment and likely outcome.

Insurance companies and legal firms requiring independent medical examinations are requested to contact Brisbane Rehab for more information.
