I had a recurring pain in the middle of my back for years. I had seen a lot of other practitioners for this but at best only ever recieved temporary relief from their treatment. Then I saw David. My back feels great and still does.

Having received a rugby injury to my knee in my 20s, severe arthritis changes in my neck and a more recent deterioration of a hip, I have met with numerous physiotherapists over the years.

When I started seeing David Wadsworth approximately 4 years ago what impressed me was his immediate understanding of my situation, his knowledge and his level of skills that I had not experienced before. With David's hands-on approach, and an emphasis on ongoing maintenance, I had no hesitation in following him as a client to his new practice, Chronic Pain Solutions.

The outcome of David's ongoing treatment and advice has enabled me to enjoy a reasonably active lifestyle and a positive view of the future.

WHY SEE CPS?

We are dedicated to excellence in the treatment of chronic, complex and persistent problems. Our aim is to create long-term solutions that enhance the quality of life for our patients. Reasons that you might choose our practice for your healthcare are listed below, and more detail can be found elsewhere on this website:

• We specialise in treating difficult, complex and persistent problems that other practitioners often find difficult to treat
• We have sought training and internships under leading practitioners in this field worldwide and are able to offer you the benefit of this experience
• Chronic pain and dysfunction is complex and usually involves more than one bodily system. Successful treatment requires a practitioner that understands this and is able to decipher the interactions between the systems. Consequently our approach involves all of the body's systems and regions, not just one, meaning that we truly offer a holistic, total body approach:
  • Musculoskeletal system (joints, muscles, soft tissues)
  • Nervous system (including autonomic system)
  • Circulatory system (fluid motion)
  • Visceral systems (internal organs)
  • Endocrine system (hormones)
• We treat many types of problems, not just musculoskeletal pain. We often treat multiple problems in the one treatment session, especially where one problem is causing another. The range of problems we treat include:
  • Joint problems
  • Muscle problems
  • Nerve problems
  • Organ problems (eg bladder, irritable bowel, heartburn)
  • Hormonal problems (eg menstrual pains)
  • Cranial problems (eg headaches, nerve problems)
  • Referred pain
  • Fibromyalgia

  • "Total body pain"

• As a result we are one of only a handful of clinics in Australia which can offer this level of expertise.
• We offer a wide range of manual therapy approaches including Australian and international approaches, enabling us to select the best "hands-on" approach to suit your individual needs
• Similarly we offer a range of exercise therapy approaches and will create a program to meet your individual needs
• Strictly one on one appointments
• Opportunity for longer consultations (one hour and longer) to deliver the quality of care you require
• Unhurried and relaxing environment
• If we are unable to help you, we will refer you to someone who can
• We believe that we offer excellent value for money. We aim to offer a long term solution, enabling you to become more independent in maintaining your health. We aim to achieve this in the shortest possible time frame, saving you time and money.
