What to ExpectPain management is about finding ways for you to reduce the impact your pain has on your daily life. Pain management is also about looking at your overall health and wellbeing and finding the right combination of strategies to help you cope with your pain. There will be some questionnaires to complete initially and throughout the programme, so we can work out how to
best meet your needs and monitor your progress. |
Making a Referral
We accept referrals for patients with an accepted ACC injury claim. Referrals can come to us via your treating Health Professional/provider (e.g. your GP, physiotherapist, psychologist or similar) or directly from ACC. Access to this ACC funded service starts with a referral submitted by your provider on a
ACC 6273 Provider Referral for Pain Management Triage Assessment. This can be downloaded from the ACC website under ACC Pain Management.
TheTriage Assessment includes the completion of a set of three questionnaires, an Orebro form, the S-LANSS Pain Score and the Central Sensitization Inventory. The triage team will consider the options for pain management services and make recommendations to ACC. ACC needs to have approved funding through a set of criteria in order for you to access the service.
Please email us at [email protected] or phone 03 3483278 for further information.
Alternatively, you are able to refer yourself and fund rehabilitation through our service.
