Information for Referrers
Insight Pain Clinic is a multidisciplinary team and we work collaboratively with each other. We also value engaging with other clinicians supporting people living with pain.
We offer best-practice care based on the contemporary evidence of biopsychosocial management for persistent pain. We take the time to understand and support your patient’s needs, and work with them through the various challenges of their rehabilitation journey.
We have significant clinical experience working with the physical and psychological impacts and needs for people experiencing persistent pain. To find out more about our patient-centred approach please click here.
